Paper and Nest

It's amazing to see a business grows from a low-key online shopping site to a full throttle brick and mortar store. I have previously posted about Kuwaiti entrepreneur Fudha Al Ateeqi's brain child Paper-Design here, now with her expansion and re-modeling, her brand has its own boutique in KIPCO Tower in Kuwait City, and is officially known as Paper and Nest. 

I finally managed to pay the store a visit the other day and met up with Fudha. Small in space but rich with goodies and eye candy, the store was filled with paper goods, gifts, and accessories for you and your home. I loved how every corner had its own character and at the same time they all synched together. I got myself a bright yellow S'well bottel, a non-leaching and non-toxic stainless steel bottle, that keeps your drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12. I've been using it for my herbal teas when I go to work and my co-workers instantly fell in love with it! I highly recommend to visit the store if you want to buy a special gift for someone who has everything. 

As for the design part, which Fudha was initially known for, she still offers graphic designs services for various clients needs. 


Loved the camera straps with floral Liberty-inspired prints.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
