Event: Kuwait Confidential Exhibition at Dar Al Funoon

Yesterday I had the pleasure of passing by Kuwait Confidential exhibition at Dar Al Funoon, where Beirut-based brands such as the quirky cool handbag and accessories brand Sarah’s Bag, the award-winning jewelry designer Alia Mouzannar, and the glamorous designs of Dori Mouzannar of the leading multi-generational House of Aziz & Walid Mouzannar, are hosting a special exhibition in Kuwait City.

Sarah’s Bag is showcasing her unique pieces from her exquisitely handcrafted Spring/Summer 2014 Pop Art collection Brad Darling!, which has been making waves in some of the world’s most exclusive concept stores such as Collette Paris and Matches London and fashion editorials across the globe. She also has her brand new A/W2014 collection on display and for sale too, so we're technically the first to shop the collection. 

Dori and Alia Mouzannar are showcasing their unique and limited edition pieces from their latest work that have been featured in the likes of Elle France and L’Officiel.

I have to say I fell head over heels in love with Sarah’s Bag's boardgame-shaped wooden clutch with a cute dice clasp, this bag was unlike any of her signature designs, which make it quite unique, and it's syrian craftsmanship makes it ideal to pair with Ramadani caftans. According to Sarah, this specific design is very hard to produce because it was not easy for her to find the right person to work on it, and it's completely handmade. I also loved Sarah's colorful tribal/mexican inspired-line (great for gifting).

As for the lovely Mouzannar girls, the jewelry designs are mind-blowing! From everyday arabesque inspired pieces to statement cocktail rings, to vintage inspired line, each piece screamed BUY ME! I highly recommend you bring along your hubby/finace/mother/father/Black Amex to help you with your purchaseSSSS. 

Tomorrow is the LAST day of the exhibition at Dar Al Funoon Gallery, and they'll be open from 10am till 8pm.

Alia Mouzannar, the 6th generation of Mouzannar family, had one line inspired by the geometric designs of arabesque, the cuff earrings looked gorgous. She had one pair of earrings that can be worn several ways. Very smart!

The skull rings is part of their vintage-inspired line, they looked absolutely unique.

Cala Lily shaped ring with white diamond details, I'm in luuuuve.

I loved the floral line of Mouzannar, the photo below do not do them justice.

The jewelry line of Sarah's Bag is so quirky cool.

If you're a fan of Matchbox retro car toys, you'll love this limited edition line by Sarah's bag called the Matchbag. Sarah’s Bag has joined forces with collector and author of the book Pure Nostalgia, Imad Kozem to release this adorable limited collection of printed bags and accessories inspired by the culture, kitsch and nostalgic memories of Beirut's 1950s to 1980s.

The lovely Sarah Beydoun, the Creative Director and Founder of Sarah's Bag

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

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.
