The Kurt Geiger boutique that I told you about was just opened at 360 Mall, I know the photo above shows the boutique closed because it was late and I was going to the cinema. I like Kurt Geiger because they have stylish yet affordable shoes, it’s located at ground level right next to the elevator that takes you to the cinema and they seem they have a good collection.
A friend sent me photo for Tory Burch opened at the Grand Avenue. This is their first boutique in Kuwait, it’s an American fashion brand for women and offer elegant women’s clothing, shoes and accessories for supposedly affordable prices when compared to other luxury brands.
A couple weeks back I guessed that Miu Miu boutique will open around this time and guess what fashionistas? I’m now in 360 mall and I’m seeing the staff of the boutique are preparing for the opening, I asked when exactly they will open? They said in about two hours (12:00 PM noon), cool. It’s located opposite to Bottega Veneta nearby Prada.
This is their first boutique in Kuwait, I’ll try to take some shots of the once it’s fully opened.
Update: I received some shots from the opening, see below.

Looks like luxury Italian brand Miu Miu will open sooner than I thought, I was at 360 Mall last night and noticed that they have already removed the hoarding in preparation for the opening. I’m guessing that it will open in couple weeks, give or take a few days.
It’s located opposite to Bottega Veneta and Prada.
One thing that really upsets about Kuwait is that copyright laws are totally neglected, anyone can copy registered brands (both international and local) names and logos without a shred of guilt. Our friend blogger His & Hers has shared a picture for a laundry using Juventus (yes the football team) name and logo, there are countless similar cases that I come across everyday.
The salon above used the name for renowned brand Dior, while the laundry (see below) used Ferrari logo and name. I also posted about a lingerie shop using the brand Virgin name and logo, and even this tiny baqala below is named Seven & Eleven! I can’t yet understand why these people (and even some big companies) cannot think of something creative? Are they too lazy to think of a name or to create their own brands? Also why there are no legal punishments what so ever?
I was having my morning coffee at Marina Mall and noted there was a small fair organized by British clothing brand Jack Wills, I chit chatted with their marketing manager who said that that will open their first franchise store in the Middle East in Kuwait on September at Avenues Phase III through AlShaya.
I checked some of their stuff and it seemed they’re targeting college students, the quality and designs were good. I asked about price range; they said it will be close to prices in the U.K.

I was at 360 Mall last night and I spotted the high Italian fashion brand Miu Miu store for women’s clothing and accessories at the ground floor next to Burberry store. miu miu comes from Prada fashion house and this is their first store in Kuwait and looks like its going to be big.
Now its time for Prada, I overheard its also opening in Kuwait.
While passing by the Avenues mall today I saw that the French fashion brand, Vicomte A., has just opened their first flagship store in Kuwait, this is their first store to open outside Europe.
Vicomte A. is a relatively new fashion brand from Paris and is known for bright colors and daring style that targets the youths. They have shirts, sweaters, driving shoes, smart house slippers, travel bags. Their bright colors are indeed very daring and will get attentioned.
