Arab & Georgian designers items we have our eyes on

It’s January, the time of the year that makes us go slightly bipolar. Should we start reducing our chocolate intake? Or wait until the Epiphany is over? Should we get back on our sport routine? Or continue watching And Just Like That with a side of red wine? Dry January? Veganuary? Just the old me?
One thing is sure however, and yes, sigh, is that our shopping addiction remains true to itself, from Christmas shopping last month to finding bargains on sale this month. But is it all that bad if we’re gonna spend those dollars on some Arab emerging designers fabulous creations? We believe not. Here’s a round-up of our favourite items to purchase ASAP.

AMINA MUADDI GILDA MULES IN THEIR NEW DECLINATION

We doubt you need a further introduction to Amina Muaddi and her namesakes label that’s been seen on the feet of about every single celebrity since its launch 3 years ago. Our favourite pair, The Gilda Mule, is now available in a baby blue tone, embellished with pale pink strass. And although we promised ourselves to buy no more shoes for a while, we might have to make an exception for this one.

LYNSH JEWELRY’S 1.2 ZELDA RING

On top of the “things you’ll never regret investing in”, jewelry is definitely there and probably not going anywhere anytime soon. And since to us, just a normal ring won’t do, we are absolute fans of Lynsh Design’s 1.2 Zelda ring, customizable in either 18k yellow gold or 18k pink gold, sublimed by your pick of blue sapphires or Colombian emeralds. Which combination would you go for?

ZARQUA EMBELLISHED PURSE

Georgian brand Zarqua basically reads our mind on every level. Shapes, colors, strass… we want it all. And we mean, all. Our hearts stopped at the sight of this purse, the Dahlia bag, a rectangle belted bag made in Tbilissi, that features cow leather with crystal embellishment. Pair it with a jeans and blazer to elevate a daytime outfit or with literally any party attire to make sure the whole town is dazzled.
