Exclusive: Confashions Visits Dar Hamad

When I received a call from the representatives of Dar Hamad to come for an exclusive tour and get a first look of this mysterious place, I was thrilled! I have heard so many things about this new venue and wanted to find out more. So I paid Dar Hamad a visit and was beyond amazed by the whole ambiance. Dar Hamad showcases traditional Kuwaiti cuisine and hospitality in all its eras but with a modern and fresh twist.

I was blown away by how gorgeous the interior is, every little detail is well-thought of and utterly unique. The ambiance is modern but managed to preserve the old Kuwaiti identity, taking inspiration from Kuwait in the 50's and 60's (even older!). The interior is designed by the talented Architect and interior designer Jassim Al Saddah of Bab Nimnim. I was also impressed by the management's vision for Dar Hamad. I can't reveal much for now but let me tell you, it will be more than just a restaurant that's for sure!

I haven't tried the food yet, but I have been told that the menu and the dishes are created by two local chefs Jenan Al Asfour and Chef Sadiqa. I can't wait to try out their menu. MMC group, which owns Le Notre, Nagwa, and Dikakeen, are currently operating and managing Dar Hamad on behalf of the owner of the place Ahmad Al Homaizi and family.

is segmented into different areas, there is the fine dinning area, the gourmet food shop, the Chai lobby, the seasonal roof terrace, a VIP/private Salon for private receptions and "Chai Al Thaha" events, and small hall for corporate and social events. According to the team, there’s nothing like Dar Hamad in the local market, especially with this its unique take on Kuwaiti cuisine and its Kuwaiti-inspired interiors. Scroll down for a quick tour of the place.

Thank you Dar Hamad for giving me access to what will soon be Kuwait's must-visit destination.

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.
