One of my ultimate favorite places to shop for furniture and home accessories (and mostly window shop), is Madame Mantis. I have previously posted about it here and here. We should move to our new home soon and I'm going to have to furnish an entire place which can be stressful. Madame Mantis is a little gem in the neighborhood. They have an eclectic mix of decor and furniture. I love their distinctive twist of things such as random lips-shaped or Kelly Wearstler’s super luxe head sculptures. I was especially in love with their lanterns and tables. They had a flash sale of 40% during the last week of Ramadan. I went there to get a quick look of what might work for my home and came out empty handed because i wanted literally EVERYTHING! And I'm clueless when it comes to decorating. I don't think I have this talent of properly decorating spaces. Anyhow, If you're in the market for a new couch, home accessories, or event a side table, this is the place to go!

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
