“My Belongings,” or “Moqtanayaty” (مقتنياتي) in Arabic, is a store in Kuwait City specializing in vintage electronics, including radios, boomboxes, record players, TVs, cameras, as well as records and cassettes.
Unlike most places that sell vintage items, nearly everything in this store is in working condition. They also repair vintage electronics in their in-house workshop. So, if you have an old record player that stopped working, you can bring it in, and they’ll try to fix it for you.
The store isn’t new—I first discovered it and posted about it in 2016 when it was located beneath JOA in the city. Since then, they’ve relocated several times and now have two locations in a building across the street from Souk Al Mubarakiya.
Their corner store on the ground floor serves as the repair shop, while the main showroom is located on the first floor of the same building. To access the showroom, you’ll need an employee from the repair shop to take you upstairs.
The showroom is like a mini museum where everything on display is for sale.
If you want to stop by to browse or get something, the shop is open daily except for Fridays from 8:30 AM to 1 PM and again from 4:30 PM to 9 PM. It’s located on Ahmad Al Jaber Street, opposite the Ahli Bank of Kuwait tower. Here is their location on Google Maps and here is their Instagram account @vintage_radio_

*asking for a friend
probably, you could reach out to the guy on WhatsApp and send him a photo
Nostalgic. Awesome article. If i was in town i would be buying things from them. My dad had a radio just like the one bottom right in the pic i still have it today.
Mark, regarding the store’s location, it’s on Abdullah Al Mubarak St., not Ahmad Al Jaber St., just for clarification. i will be passing by especially since I have been looking for a typewriter.
yes, it’s located on the corner of abdullah al Mubarak st and Ahmad al Jaber street.
