I just got an e-mail from the founders and designers of Saudi-based brand, Passion Collection. They're actually two sisters who have a vision, to create and design modern caftans that also preserve our traditional patterns and fabrics like the chmaagh. Honestly I was completely awestruck with their work. I'm particularly impressed by the unique way they demonstrated their innovative use of the traditional fabric (chmaagh) and their strong determination to put their ideas into practice.

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit. After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the Altuzarra sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away. Which pair would you go for?
