Last week, I took my boys to ecru's Holiday event at AlOthman boutique to decorate ginger cookies and keep them busy while I browse through their latest collection of home accessories. The new collection was limited in selection but it beamed with beauty and made great gift ideas. I loved the embroidered charms, designed in collaboration with Sophia Watanabe, creative director and owner of Sophia 203. They came in cute shapes of pink flamingos, dusty pink seashells, very kuwaiti palm trees, and cute toucans. They can be hung on christmas trees or in my case to decorate my handbag. There were also cocktail napkins, and the Arabic alphabets re-introduced as mini-sized charms, which I personally prefer over the large ones. I ended up buying my letter in mini-size, and waiting for the remaining of ecru's new shipment to arrive in order to buy them as gifts to friends and family members.

I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle
