25 Different ways to Wear a Scarf

In Memory: Whistles, Liu Jo and Coccinelle

It's been a very long time I did not go to Al-Raya Centre. I have been told that three of my favourite stores have closed down. Whistles, Liu Jo and Coccinelle. Whistles famous for it's colourful dresses, beautiful designs and affordable prices. Even Kate Middleton wears their clothes s it was very unfortunate to see it close down. Liu Jo was famous for its jeans and Coccinelle famous for it's handbags with its Ladybug logo.

In Memory: Principles

Principles fashion first opened a section inside Debenhams (Soug Sharg) then closed down. After a while it opened a store (I guess it was in The Avenues) and it shutdown. It turned out that in the UK the Principles stores shut down too but they still have their section in Debenhams but with a slighly different name 'Principles by Ben de Lisi'. The weird thing is that when you go to Principle's website it redirects you to Karen Millen's website, so they might have bought the company just like how Bhs bought Tammy from Etam.

In Memory: Lego Wear

Lego wear was a children's store located in Marina Mall. Its closure coincided with the racist Danish caricatures of our prophet (PBUH). Rumours said that since Lego store is Danish it had to close down because Muslims were boycotting all Danish products but I doubt this was the real reason because it closed down together with Tommy Hilfiger and Hilfiger is not Dasnish!
