ARABULOUS is Arab-licious!







Bahraini sisters Lulwa and Mneera Al Khalifa are the creative masterminds behind fabulous Bahraini t shirt label ARABULOUS.


Aware of the effects of globalization and the importance of preserving the Bahraini and Khaleeji (Gulf) culture, Lulwa and Mneera are a design duo who put their creative minds to work to promote and preserve their heritage by mixing Khaleeji culture with modern-day fashion, creating a line of t shirts with beautiful, playful and humorous motifs. Two of my favorites are the stunning Mirtaasha t shirt which is printed with the design of a traditional heavy gold multi-chain necklace which was worn by women of past generations, and the fabulous statement t shirt with the design of a woman in an abaya and Loubs with the caption "So what if I wear heels in the desert?" We all know we've worn our heels in the sand! There are also t shirts for the guys too.














So make a style statement and show your love for Bahraini and Khaleeji culture with an ARABULOUS t shirt!


Available at Bon Bon, Al Aali Mall, Manama, Bahrain.
