Have you checked out Urban Souq's boutique?

Tuesday, June 21, 2011





Have you checked out one of my personal favorite Middle Eastern trendsetting websites, Urban Souq 's newly launched online boutique?

The boutique brings together some of the region's hottest and hippest bag and accessories designers and labels, both established and emerging, including Amina Khalil, Shanta (previously featured here on Under Your Abaya), Kahramana and Ctrl-Z by Zinab Chahine, and many more will be added to the boutique in the future.

If you're looking for bold accessories infused with a bit of Arabic flavor, this is the place for you!

Here are some of my favorite pieces:




"Torri Necklace" by Designs by Tala





"Madame Bag" by Shanta





"Soad Hosny Ring" by Kahramana



"Tribal Velvet Bag" by LIGLIG





"Sammoura Gold Belt" by Nazeeka



"Third Time Lucky Bag" by Pupee Couture





"Evil Eye Bag" by Mojo



As you see, I have many favorites!

An added plus? 5% of sales are donated to charity. Now that's guilt-free shopping.
