From Lebanon with Love


Once upon a time while skimming through my magazines, I found this picture of Mary Kate carrying a mysterious and exotic looking clutch which I instantly fell in love with. Unfortunately, back then, I couldn't find out who the genius designer behind this envelop-like-leather creation with a bracelet handle and a huge stone decorating the flap of the clutch. It was a heartbreaking ending.. and I moved on. Until one day...

I was shopping at Alothman and found the yummiest clutches in exotic skins and ruched patent leather and some were adorned with semi-precious jewels that looked very familiar. Suddenly I was having flashbacks of my "clutch love at first sight".


So I immediately investigated the situation and found out later on that the clutch was indeed designed by the same designer. And let me tell you that I was surprised (and proud) to know that the designers behind those marvellous clutches are two Lebanese girls Maya and Joanna Nakhle. Their brand is called Maia N. Everything about Maia N clutches is a complete perfection, the size, the skin, the shape, and most of all the price!

The list of Maia N's clients include Queen Rania of Jordan, Princess Alia of Jordan, Queen Sophia of Spain, Carine Roitfield (Editor in chief of French Vogue), and of course Mary Kate Olsen.

The clutches are available at Al Othman and prices start at KD 170. (and my fave clutch design is already sold out!). Al Othman is located at Mariam Complex, Salem AlMubarak St, Salmiya. For inquires, please call (+965) 575-4954.

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 .
