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.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
