WHAT’S IN STORE — LIGLIG Handbags
W
hat is the perfect compliment to an all black look? A vivid, contrasting handbag, of course. LIGLIG bags, the newest ‘it’ accessory from Khulood Khoory, a young Emirati designer here in the UAE, strikes the perfect chord for the modern Emirati woman. The rich textured and coloured clutches started as a hobby in school and made for the perfect gift for relatives and friends. The school hobby later turned into her senior university project and voila! — LIGLIG was born.
Khoory’s first collection is a unique range of clutches that expresses the wearer’s individuality through textured fabrics, bold colours and rich embellishments. Although the clutches are simple in shape, they come in a variety of sizes, have a roomy interior and take inspiration from the world around us here in the UAE. The handbags express the characteristics of the designer herself: colourful, distinctive and chic, offering an alternative to the everyday leather bags. LIGLIG is sold exclusively at Marami boutique Dubai Mall.
