Visita al Souq del Avenues | Old Souq in The Avenues

Si algo me ha sorprendido de verdad hoy ha sido conocer el Old Souq del Avenues en la fase III. Que maravilla, he salido encantada y con muchas ganas de volver a tomarme un café en cualquiera de las cafeterías que imitan el "old style" de la vida de Kuwait. Se trata de un ala del centro comercial dedicado enteramente a la cultura tradicional del país; cafeterías y restaurantes en la calle principal, tiendas de perfumes, mercado del oro, tiendas con pañuelos y artesanías árabes y un montón de cosas mas que estan por venir. Las calles empedradas, techos bajos, locales que imitan construcción en adobe, farolas tradicionales.... todo esto da un look de lo mas agradable al Avenues lleno de marcas y consumismo.

Today I had a great surprise when I visited the new area in Phase III of the Avenues Mall, Kuwait. Its been a pleasure to walk around in a place that looks like an old souq, full of small shops; perfums, coffee shops, shops for scarfs and veils, gold and much more to be opened. Old fashioned cobbled streets, small buildings, natural light and this charm arround the place has also conquered me. No doubt, next breakfast at The Old Souq of the Avenues mall.

Spanish fashion in Kuwait | Moda Española en Kuwait II parte

As we discussed in previous post, the Spanish fashion has a big representation here. Once again, the Inditex group is in all world and markets but "Not only of Zara can the human being dress", right? Companies such as Condor have been installed in this country for a long time and that for moms like me who like the quality and variety of brand socks is helpful (in Baroue find them). Hoss Intropia is also in Kuwait (In The Avenues Mall) rather more expensive than in Spain but the truth is that it's good to go to the store and see the richness of the fabrics and skill in designing clothes. I have a dress that once landed in Bilbao I'll see if I can still find it and buy it. And we are also fortunate to have Adolfo Dominguez (also in The Avenues Mall) the store is huge and has the entire collection including U the young brand. Something I realy miss is a good brand of Spanish Shoes with good prices. We are lucky to have Pretty Ballerinas and from time to time Casta...

Colonia Kuwaiti para hombre | Kuwait 7711

No todos los olores hechos para Kuwait tienen Out entre sus componentes. Aquí os traigo esta colonia para hombres que mis chicos adoran llamada Kuwait 7711. Yo soy alérgica al Out por lo que esta colonia, que me recuerda a mi niñez y a mi abuelo, me encanta. La compró Br1 en la cooperativa no hace mucho y le costó 1.650 kd. También me parece un buen souvenir que llevarte de Kuwait para estas navidades. Cologne made in Kuwait, throughs me back to good memories of my grand Father. It´s quite cheap, 1.650 kd and you can get it from the coop, Shamiya. I also think its a good souvenir from Kuwait or even a gift for birthdays or Christmas.
