Event: Orient 499 at Dar Al Funoon

The other day I passed by the renowned Beirut-based brands Orient 499 and Iwan Maktabi's exhibition that was hosted at Dar Al Funoon in Kuwait. I was more interested to see their home accessories than the caftans. Besides, their caftans although they were very nice and pretty, they were REALLY overpriced. I guess they had to hike up their prices to cover their travel costs? Anyhow, their home accessories were really worth viewing. I loved the mix of modern ethno-chic objects, combining old tradition with a touch of modernity. The Ikat rug by Iwan Maktabi's was my ultimate favorite. I would definitely invest in such a piece for my future home. Scroll down for some of my favorite pieces.

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.
