Shopping

O’ de Rose Handicrafts

Offline map Google map (www.o-derose.com; 999 Al-Wasl Rd, Umm Suqueim 2) The antithesis of the cookie- cutter malls, this delightful boutique is set in a homey residential villa. Run by Lebanese-born fashion designer Mimi Shakhashir, O’ de Rose sells all sorts of ethno-chic creations, ranging from hand-painted ceramics to hand-blown Syrian vases. Customers are greeted with a glass of refreshing O’ de Rose (roseflower drink); set aside plenty of time to browse.

If Fashion

Offline map Google map (Umm Al Sheif St, Umm Suqeim 1) Already a smash hit in Beirut and New York, this boutique is a fashion pioneer selling refreshing lesser-known designer labels such as Johnny Farah and Marc Le Bihan that combine avant-garde haute couture with classic lines and fantastic accessories.

S*uce Fashion

Offline map Google map (Village Mall, Jumeirah Rd, Jumeirah 1; 10am-9pm Sat-Thu, 4.30-10pm Fri) This is the original store of women-owned S*uce (pronounced ‘sauce’), a pioneer on Dubai’s growing indie fashion boutique scene. Join the style brigade searching for top-tier denim, flirty frocks, sassy accessories, sexy sandals and deluxe tees. Look for such key contemporary designers as Karta, Tsumori Chisato, Vanessa Bruno, Isabella Cappeto, Alice McCall and Philip Lim, as well as local labels such as Essa, Bil Arabi and Sugar Vintage. There’s another branch in Dubai Mall.

S*uce Light Fashion

Offline map Google map (1st fl, Jumeirah Centre, Jumeirah Rd, Jumeirah 1; 10am-9pm Sat-Thu, 4.30-10pm Fri) Not flush enough to drop Dh1500 for a pair of jeans at S*uce? Just pop across the street to its outlet, where a limited selection and a less-glam ambience translate into items at 50% to 70% off.

Yasmine Fashion

Offline map Google map ( Souq Madinat Jumeirah, Al-Sufouh Rd, Al-Sufouh 2) This house of ladies’ jalabiyas (traditional garment native to the Gulf) includes some exquisite handwoven designs made from fine woven pashmina or cashmere. If you find the jalabiyas a tad too dressy for wafting around the house, then go for one of the equally decorative scarves or shawls.
