ROYAL APPROVAL
Luxury handbag designer, Lana
Marks, has finally launched her
retail outlet in the UAE. The brand
has been a favourite amongst
celebrity clientele including the late
Diana, Princess of Wales, Angelina
Jolie, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Charlize
Theron, to name a few. To paint a
picture of the designer’s background,
Lana Marks was once commissioned by
the late Princess Diana to create a spectacular piece that would soon
live within her closet, while transcending the test of time.
The designer’s collection features handbags, belts, luggage and small
leather goods in exotic leathers by Italian craftsman, and over 150 styles
in 100 vibrant colours. On top of the list is none other than The Lana
Marks Princess Diana Handbag in emerald green, as well as the Cleopatra
Clutch, an icon that has graced the Academy Awards Red Carpet one too
many times. Visit the store at Atlantis, The Palm
THE RIGHT FOOT FORWARD
New Year, new collections, new shoes. René
Caovilla’s latest creation, the Caovilla Natale,
is a piece of Venetian art. The designer’s pieces are
rooted in history, with over 80 years of heritage,
showcasing the city’s shoemaking industry
at its finest. The workmanship, intricate
embellishments and lace detail from ankle to toe,
make this piece a timeless one. There’s a reason
Marilyn Monroe said, “give a
girl the right shoes, and she can conquer
the world”. We have no doubts with this pair.
