A couple of seasons ago when the tiger motif on Kenzo's sweatshirts first appeared on the fashion scene I actually liked the trend for a while. But then fashion houses and high-street stores got caught by the tiger bug and it felt like they had to add the tiger motif to one, two, or even three of their designs. THAT killed it for me. Take for example these featured shoes and clutches by Charlotte Olympia (spotted at Bloomingdales Dubai) and a button-up shirt by Ipekyol in the Avnues. I do cherish that feeling of owning a designer (or even non-designer but very special) piece before it gets turned into a reproduced-in-a-zillion-style kind of piece for the mass-market by high-street stores, and in this case, high-end brands.
Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.
