Design District now offers personalised products

Residents and visitors looking to shop for the season’s latest must-have items can now have them custom-made and personalised exclusively at the Shop Qatar Design District at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC) this week.

French fashion label Faith Connexion brought its Brooklyn-based graffiti artist to add his special touches to casual wear.

Men looking to suit up in style can head to Turkey’s Baris Bespoke pop-up shop where they can select the fabric, cut and style to perfect their desired look.

At local pop-up shops Fonto and Noor Stationary, customers can add personalised touches for the perfect gift.

Art lovers are also in for a treat at the Art Avenue where they can commission and buy on-the-spot their favourite pieces by renowned local artists including Yasser al-Mulla, who is known for his sketch drawings, Muna al-Badr, known for her canvas paintings, and abstract artist Mariam al-Mulla.

Open daily between 3pm and 10pm at DECC, the District brings a colourful showcase of local and international pop-up shops, cafes, fashion shows, workshops, masterclasses as well as engaging design dialogue all under one roof.

Running until January 12, the District offers visitors a wide variety of artistic expressions to choose from. Design enthusiasts can stay up-to-date with the latest trends at the Fashion Speakers’ Corner sessions or daily fashion shows.

Other activities include 12 beauty masterclasses and workshops by online-famous make-up artists and more than 60 pop-up shops, which will be showcasing unique and varied offerings ranging from professional tailoring to customisable casualwear, from handcrafted clothing and home accessories to makeup.

For every QR 200 spent at the Design District, shoppers can enter one of the festival’s three remaining raffle draws, with two cars and seven cash prizes ranging from QR 10,000 to QR 100,000 to be won each week.

Next week’s Shop Qatar raffle draw will be held at 7.30 pm on January 10 at Mall of Qatar.
