Shopaholics and bargain hunters unite! Forget about Net-a-Porter's sale. Al Othman boutique is having up to 50% off designer labels for women such as Derek Lam, Erdem, Proenza Schouler, Peter Som, Oscar De La Renta, Matthew Williamson, Vera Wang.. and more (here goes my savings!). And No, Christian Louboutin and Devi Kroell are NOT on sale. So make sure to head to Al Othman first thing in the morning tomorrow to get your pick of luxury goods, especially that it's the "receptions" season and we all need a new formal outfit since you've worn yours 3 days in a row now.
Al Othman is located at Mariam Complex, Salem AlMubarak St, Salmiya. For inquires, please call (+965) 575-4954.

i cannot wait to get my hands on some Proenza and Erdem!!!
I really liked this seasons collection.. and of course Oscar de la Renta.
Do you know which Devi Kroell they have in stock? I really want another python hobo and if my wallet allows a wooden clutch :)
ok ok I am really exited as you can seeeeeeeee
They have Devi Kroell's hobo bags in large sizes, flats, knee-high boots, and evening clutches. But they're not on sale :)
This blog is name dropping couturiers every time all the time and so I ask if there are, in fact, any prominent designers/ fashion houses conspicious by their absence in the Kuwaiti market?
thanx
Thanks!
Will try and go by to see the large hobo bags and what colour of the boots they have left.
ellie,
Interesting question. AlOthman hands down. They are an all rounder and the only one i feel really comfortable shopping at.
If Confashion does a subject on this I would elaborate on the pros and cons.
anonymous,
Doesnt pinkmoon stock baby UGGS?
thanx
We are very sorry that you had such a bad experience with AlOthman that made you change your views about us especially as you have mentioned that you and your immediate family have been excellent customers of AlOthman.
We are not sure what went wrong with the bag you had asked for but mistakes do happen and we would like to apologize to you for that.
We take pride in our 52 years of service in the Kuwait market so when we become aware of a mistake that takes place we do our best to correct it.
We assure you that we will re-evaluate our reservation policies in order to avoid such mistakes happening again.
We would also urge you to contact the manager so we can personally apologize to you.
With Best Regards
Alothman
Dear Confashion,
We would like to commend you on your blog and for the opportunity you have given us to get the proper feedback from your readers.
Thank you for offering all the fashion interested people in Kuwait this platform.
With Best Regards
AlOthman
Im sorry you got such an experience at Al Othman.
I would also recommend addressing issues like that directly to the store owner.
Also make sure your name is really down next to the items name/refernce so they will for sure hold it. the Sales Girls are usually very good. Which one were you dealing with?
I am intrigued now...
Further, what sort of window space do African designers command in Kuwait fashion stores?
In terms of merchandise, I like all 3 because they all carry huge variety of designers and trendy brands. But in terms of display and customer service I would have to say that Al Othman tops them all. Their sales people are not pushy and they're very friendly. And you can easily skim through the racks and see EVERY item in store with comfort. Merchandise is not stacked and cluttered.
I'm not sure which brands are missing, but in the fashion world, there are always new and upcoming brands and designers every season. So a lot of research needs to be done by retailers to find brands that suit the Kuwaiti market.

You can try Pinkmoon boutique located on "the strip" next to Burger Hub. Or you can buy them on their online shop: http://www.pinkmoonboutique.com/detail.asp?item_id=237. Or as anonymous said, check amazon or nordstrom online.
sherifahh
I think they have them in silver and bronze if I'm not mistaken. Good luck :)

Take it from me, whenever such thing happens to you immidiately confront the person in charge of the store. They'll help you resolve the issue and get a better customer service in the future. Sometimes The action of a lazy salesperson damages your impression of the store, but it doesn't necessarily indicate that it is acceptable by the management or owners. :)

Thank you for your professionalisim and your amazing customer service.

I totally agree with you on how to handle such situations :)
anonymous, ellie, and baris
As I mentioned in my previous comment, I'm sure there are a lot of brands and designers missing in the Kuwaiti market but with the strong competition going on in this small market, I think we'll see a lot of new and upcoming designers being represented here in Kuwait in the future especially that most kuwaiti fashionistas want to look trendy and original.
Nope. I wish I did though! it's eye candy!
How are all the shoes.
I heard they have these crazy platforms that Kate Moss just recently wore. forgot the name!!!!
Anyway, do they have any of those in gold or anything metallic and really high? those for summer with ripped rolled up jeans (think alexander wang Summer08) and a super sheer white tee by The Row and ready to go......
thanks
