LV's Nimbus PM Bag At Salhiya Complex


I could only post one liner to this post and save your precious time by just saying "Available at Salhiya. I hate it. Don't buy it". But I just felt the need to share additional information on this bag should you feel the need to read more while waiting for your favorite TV show to start.

Louis Vuitton's Monogram Olympe Nimbus PM, made out of smokey lambskin leather (yeey...), is actually named after Mount Olympus, home to the twelve principal gods in Greek mythology (huh?). The bag is available at LV boutique at Salhiya Complex and is being sold for KD 540. Bag's features include: zippered closure, internal patch pocket and mobile phone compartment (practical but not creative), tonal monogram embroidery, can be hand-held or carried on the shoulder, plaited leather handle, engraved nameplate in front corner, and leather ruffle trim along top.

Why do I hate this bag so much? It's color is sooo washed out that it would break any fabulous look. It's over-priced for a bag that will only be worn for a season max! The hobo shape of the bag makes it unpractical to wear with fall's structured trends and dark colors. And I think these reasons are enough for me to move a long and write another post....

I think I just ended the post at a high note.. I'll leave it like that.

The bag cost me 1260 GBP which is equivalent to 750 KD. I am sure you are talking about the small or medium size !

I'm not sure if it was the small or the medium size as I only saw one at the store and assumed that it comes in one size... Is your bag the same color?

My #1 reason for not liking it is because of it's color.

Dear Confashion, my bag color is the same as the one worn by Jessica Simpson, I bought it from UK late May. In recent visit to Salhiya, I saw the color you posted and even darker. Regards

Maybe your bag is bigger in size that's why it's more expensive or maybe different type of leather?

if that's your bag then no wonder it's more expensive than the one I featured in the post. It's bigger in size and different in style :) I like the one you have more..

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. 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

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
