Fashion stores Dubai

The first Hindi boutique in Dubai created in reaction to the rampant standardization of fashion and clothing tastes, this brand, which the founders insist on writing with a star (S*uce), has paved the way for many others today. Like Colette in Paris, the store is multi-brand, presenting the creations of the regional hype-generation alongside a few pieces taken from Europe: Tata Naka, Ashish, Studd, Dice Kayek, Vanessa Bruno, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, See by Chloe. The website is great for online shopping.

It's almost like "Au bonheur des Dames". It's a veritable two-storey cave, selling every conceivable type of fabric for clothing: printed, plain, in every color and price range. Don't hesitate to call the mobile number if you have a pattern to copy. The store manager will direct you to a dressmaker who can reproduce your design. The whole area is full of fabric merchants, and you shouldn't hesitate to push open the doors to discover real treasures.

The old souk finds its natural place on the banks of the Creek, at the heart of the maritime trade, where local merchants would display their products to exporters in a row. Built in length and surmounted by a high openwork wooden arch frame, it protects from direct sunlight, but allows daylight to filter through, giving it a subdued atmosphere conducive to strolling. One should not hesitate to go also behind the Dubai Museum opposite the souk, in the more modern alleys to find a large number of cloth merchants.

It all started with a second-hand vintage store in the Jumeirah district. Maha Rasheed, of Egyptian origin, passionate about the style of the 50s, was a great success. She has since set up her own store in City Walk, which is a hit. Bambah, whose name means "rose" in Arabic, is inspired by the actresses of the Egyptian cinema of the 50s and offers a collection where polka dots, floral patterns, long sleeves and a fitted waist are in the spotlight. Popular with customers in the Gulf, Bambah combines modernity and vintage.
