News Flash: Ralph Lauren Giant Ricky Bag is Coming to K-Town!

After New York and Paris, the Ralph Lauren Giant Ricky Bag is coming to Kuwait as the first Middle East stop of its World Tour at the Avenues starting from next week!

To celebrate the launch of the newest “Soft,” “Mini” and “Chain” variations on its iconic Ricky Bag, Ralph Lauren is exhibiting a spectacular “Giant Ricky Bag” at stores around the world. Taking cues from the Soft Ricky Bag, its beautifully crafted archetype, the Giant Ricky took a team of four expert artisans approximately one month to create. Echoing the supple silhouette and handwork throughout — from shaping to creasing to tacking — the Giant Ricky is beautifully outfitted with all of the Soft Ricky’s authentic details, from Italian-made leather construction to its key bell, grommets and functioning lock. Six feet tall and five feet wide, the Giant Ricky Bag is over four times the size of the Soft Ricky and weighs approximately 250 pounds (that's around 120 kilo grams!).

The exhibit travelled from Galeries Lafayette in Paris to the Ralph Lauren flagship store on Saint Germain and then onto the recently reopened Palais Galliera, the museum of fashion. After Paris, the Clementine Giant Ricky travelled to the Ralph Lauren flagship New Bond Street store in London before departing for the Maximilianstrasse store in Munich.

Yowza! That's one hell of a bag! Big enough to stuff half of my closet inside! Actually, it would make the perfect dream bag for travelling, if only it would pass the security check...

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.

Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II

Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora , will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up. I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?
