The very stylish Octium Jewelry is holding a special exhibit at their 360 mall boutique from Sunday May 2nd to the 5th. They’ve invited some world renowned designers who will be showcasing some of their latest work. The designers who will be visiting are:
Selim Mouzannar
Bochic
Crivell
Verdi Gioielli
The event will be from 10AM to 10PM except for today (Sunday) it will be from 6PM to 10PM. What I like about this event is the fact that people will be able to interact with the talented designers.
The Cool Hunter are coming to Kuwait for an event. I just got an invite and I don’t know how much I can share since its a private event so will just share the bare minimum. The event will be held next week and it’s called A Kuwaiti World. The invite contains a username and password (which I won’t share) that allows you to log into www.akuwaitiworld.com and find out more info on the event. The Cool Hunter is the world’s most-read culture and design site. I previously mentioned them in a post when they featured the Octium Jewelry store at 360 Mall on their website. Will post pictures and details after the event.
