Almubarakiya

I didn't have time to write about our trip to Almubarakiya 2 weeks ago, but now I have, so the story goes like this...

One of our relatives were telling us about this place in mubarakiya called (Al-Shaye' Basment - سرداب الشايع) where you can find lots of wholesale items and fake designer bags and clothes. So we decided to go since my sister wanted to to buy a large quantity of plastic headbands and I wanted some fake juicy couture track suites to wear for home.

We went down to the basement from (Souk al-Zal & Al-Bshoot) entrance, there were so many shops that sell make-up and cheap watches in there, we kept looking for our shop until we found it (sorry can't remember it's name) and it had a big collection of fake bags , I wanted to take picture but the place was too crowded and the owner of the shop was there too.

The funny part is that they not only have fake bags they have the latest fake bags, we saw a Prada cruise clutch (picture below). I asked for the price and the salesman replied 80KD, I was like what ?????? why!!! no it's too much then he said " ok ok 60" then we looked at each other smiling and I said " ok I will think about it" I thought about it when I got home and surfed the net, it was well made but there is no green color !!! have you seen this clutch in green? top is brown and baig with a green bottom. any ways we asked about the juicy and he had to go and get them from the storage room so we waited for 15 minutes until he came back, they were ok but i wanted more colorful suits, pink or yellow. all they have are black , dark purple and olive suites, and they weren't cheap, 35 KD, I thought they will like 10 or 20 KD max.

in the same shop , you can find Hermes and Chanel wallets, Cartier love bracelets, Balanciaga bags and lots lots more.

So we left the shop, laughing about the collection they have and got in one of those make-up shops and bought me a huge shadow palette for 5 KD .

Did you notice what attracted me to this palette? The neon color shadows :) can you see the yellow and green ones in picture above ? don't know how I'm going to apply these colors but I'll find a way :P

Then on our way out we found a tinny shop that was filled with people asking the salesman for Burberry and Ralph's polos so we went in and I found these lovely juicy couture accessories, all 3 pieces for 5 KD , isn't that nice ? :) don't they look like juicy ? my friend made fun of them saying they look hideous, uhh that was ok, I liked them very much and I'm wearing them all the time .

Now comes the second part

We came home, and I can't sleep until I find the place where they get all this stuff from. I searched the web and searched and search till I found one.... i Offer .com

The sites sells all sort of fake stuff, my whole quest was for juicy suites, and there were hundreds of companies that sells them, and you won't believe for how much, 5 KD for a suite. 30 KD difference from al mubarakiya and maybe 80 KD difference from the original, as if original, the originals are made in china. So they are original.

So I found some and decided to try i offer, but to do so I had to register first, so I did, I chose the ones I want. I thought all I have to do next is add them to my basket and pay, it turns out that it's not that easy, it's a Bargaining place. you chose what you want , wait for the seller to reply to your message , give you the final price, either you agree or not, and if the item will be shipped to Kuwait it will be 10 KD more.

I thought we will be getting a bunch of suites for my cousins and I in like 15 minutes , but it took me 3 days to understand the process and finalize it. I ordered 2 suites only, 1 for my sister and 1 for my cousin. just to try them out first and then I will get some for myself.
