Comptoir 102, home and lifestyle Concept Store, hosts an exclusive bloggers shopping soiree
Dubai, February 2013 – Comptoir 102, brainchild of friends Emmanuelle Sawko and Alexandra de Moutaudoin, both from Paris, host an exclusive bloggers shopping soiree to an enticing mix of bohemian chic focusing on interior design, fashion accessories and food. Nestled in the heart of Jumeirah, one of UAE’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, this peaceful sanctuary showcases casual chic home décor, covering as the founders put it, “everything that speaks to them and creates an emotion”. Stylish UAE residents can now find a full range of decoration, fashion accessories, jewellery, art and anything that reflects the timeless –yet trendy- Parisian art de vivre. Comptoir 102 is supplemented with a tranquil organic coffee shop to offer a complete and very unique concept environment, a world apart from the generic mall experience. “Dubai has evolved as a vibrant city in the past few years, with an emerging street culture, a growing art scene and new trends. With it, a demand for urban-style home concept store, as you would find in cities such as Paris, New York or London”, analyse the founders. It is hoped that Comptoir 102 will embody the art of artful urban living through its aesthetically appealing and architecturally designed space, which is based around a traditional villa restructured to maximise light and include a wrap-around terrace and courtyard area. This concept store model therefore makes visitors feel instantly at home, allowing purchases from anything to everything the minute you set foot into the store; be it the plate food is served from, the striking wallpaper used as a backdrop or the comfortable sofas that cry out to be relaxed into. The shop and coffee shop will be open from 10am to 7pm every day except Fridays. -endsFor media inquiries, interviews and images: Bijal Soni l Marianna Wisden TOH Public Relations T: +971 4354 9212 E: bijal@tohpr.com | marianna@tohpr.com
