8. GeordieLass | June 7th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
I wonder what bag it was>?
9. blasha | June 7th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
n keep in mind that ALL brands there are jus replicas! i’m not kidding! i broke a pin on my bag once n happened that i was in london, took it to the shop there n told me its not real!
i never buy anythin from q8 anymore, even if i had to pay lot more 4 shipping!
10. Mark | June 7th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Blasha thats total bull shit. Don’t believe everything you read in emails. If the official Prada and Gucci dealer in Kuwait are selling replicas they would have had their franchise pulled ages ago.
11. Roxas | June 7th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
im no surprised crazy women always fight over bags
12. Kuwaitmirage | June 7th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Ok…………so to you it was just a bag…………..but to me it was everythimg I’d ever dreamed of and more.
13. Kuwaitmirage | June 7th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
It was also everythiNg…and the fact that i can’t spell does not mean i shouldn’t have had it…………….
14. Roxas | June 7th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
-__-” it just a stupid bag nothing more nothing less
15. safi | June 7th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
wow like we need this type of shit right now.
mo nag9een.
16. Heba | June 7th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Obviously, the aftermath of “Confessions of a Shopaholic” (the movie)!
17. Marzouq | June 7th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
That is honestly hilarious, too bad we can’t find it out video!
18. safi | June 7th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
granted I don’t know the specifics (it could be a one-sided mistake), but this in the media is simply unnecessary.
19. Ola | June 7th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
fashhhhhhhhlaaaa. thats why i hate going in sales season. i pay a lot more bus karamti ma7fo’9a!
20. Hasan.B | June 8th, 2009 at 12:58 am
Are you sure? Cause I asked some of the people working there and they denied it
21. blasha | June 8th, 2009 at 1:16 am
i dun believe emails Mark, it happened to me 3 yrs ago. and i’m not into fashion nor buying many accessories, but when i get sumthin i need it to be real dammit!
22. Nat | June 8th, 2009 at 1:17 am
Yes a friend of mine happened to be there and she actually saw the cops there.

24. Aseel | June 8th, 2009 at 8:14 am
I would fight for a bag! I am a big bully when I shop.
25. Kuwaitista | June 8th, 2009 at 9:18 am
Blasha, as Mark said Villa Moda doesn’t sell fakes. I have been to many events at their store where there have been representatives from Italy or France from the actual brands so there is no chance that they would be selling fakes. I’ve checked the websites of Gucci, Prada, Miu Miu, and Dolce, and all of them list Villa Moda as a location, if they had fakes the brands would have pulled out years ago… It’s really sad that people actually fought over a bag, but they do have nice bags!!!!
26. whiteredvette | June 8th, 2009 at 9:53 am
I have heard the story of “oh, when i was abroad, something happened to my PRIDE AND JOY of [insert accesssory here] and took it to the store there…and they told me it was fake” from like 3 different people.
Sometimes when people HEAR/READ something, they believe it SO much, that they start believing it happened to them!!
Just sharing…now let the ONSLAUGHT BEGIIIIIIIIN!!!
27. BuThamer | June 8th, 2009 at 9:56 am
anyone was there!? DETAILS!
28. punky | June 8th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Aww Helll naw, that’s my bag biatch!
29. rampurple | June 8th, 2009 at 11:40 am
So which bag was it?
I’m not going to judge these women until I know which bag it was.
:)
30. Mark | June 8th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
I would fight over a burger
McDonalds Employee: Sorry sir we have only one more quarter pounder left so which one of you will have it?

33. Kuwait | June 8th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Maybe it was over a bag but I’m surprised no one mentioned – it was 2 MEN fighting.
:D
34. Q8GEEK | June 8th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Was there any “Bel3gaal!!” or “Meen shaayef nafsak!?” ??
Y’know… The Saudi Street Fighter video…
35. Ginzy | June 8th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
WOMEN WOMEN WOMEN …fite over a bag… hahahah LOL !!!
SORRY blasha | even i dont blv it.. i have been buying frm them for 5 yrs now…. they just cant sell fake… maybe the guy in london wnted u to buy from him…
36. PeevishGuy | June 8th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
What bag they were fighting for?! this would be a good adv for the bag’s brand.
It reminds of the confessions of a shopaholic movie hehe!!
37. AndyQ8 | June 8th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
I have first-hand experience of this kind of thing. I was working for an unnamed company here in Kuwait in 2006. It was 75% – 90% off all shoes.
I had to ‘referee’ when a Kuwaiti woman insisted that an asian expat removed the shoes she was trying on. She explained to me with a straight face that she had more right to the shoes because she was Kuwaiti. When I explained the concept of ‘first come, first served’ to her, she threatened to have me arrested!
Needless to say, the asian woman bought the shoes and I had to call security to remove the Kuwaiti woman.
I never heard from her again, but I have to wonder why she was so intent on having a 15KD pair of Nike’s!
38. Me | June 8th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Mmmm Interesting…lol
39. Desert Girl | June 8th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooser girls!
Security means never having to wear another person’s name on your ass.
40. seven | June 8th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
i agree with Blasha . recently there was a huge VILLA MODA shipment of fake leather goods at customs which was confiscated ( bags mainly ) .. it was on the news as well !! i wouldnt buy anything from VM for sure !
41. Mark | June 8th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
seven: Again don’t believe everything you read in emails. There was a large shipment of fake goods confiscated but it wasn’t for Villa Moda. Don’t be so gullible.
42. Shaymaa | June 8th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
LOL @Q8GEEKS! Someone should recreate that video: Saudi Street Fighter, VillaModa edition.
43. Mark | June 8th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
seven: Just one more tip, if you ever get an email from someone in Nigeria offering you money don’t reply ;)
44. khaloody | June 8th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
OVER A BAG L0O0O0O0O0O0O0OL . 4 SURE CAT FIGHT ……BAS NO VIDEO:(
:D:D
45. Omsheikha | June 8th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
You can certainly tell a fake a mile off if you know good quality. Villa Moda has superb quality, premium designers brands that are not fake. There maybe some ugly bags there but they are of impeccable quality. There are some nasty fake designer bags in Kuwait but to the “trained eye” they are merely nasty fakes. I had stocked up many year

HAHAHAHHA @ Marks last comment
49. nocturnal | June 8th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
haha, reminds me of a scene from Confessions of a Shopaholic
50. Ahmed | June 8th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
you know for all the educated people who are in this forum. I say to them, what has happened to Kuwaiti people these days men and women?NOT ALL! but majority. These days you see fights happening in malls, and now a fight over a BAG. A stupid BAG. I am like thinking, why LACK OF EDUCATION? Racism? Snobbishism? The year is 2009, we are going to 2010. Over stupid bag women have fight over. What would their excuse be, I FOUGHT FOR FASHION! I embarrassed myself over fashion.
51. blasha | June 8th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
my bag wasn’t from VM, it was from LV kuwait, it was fake! but VM, LV or GUCCI, i’ll never buy anythin from q8 again :)
but it’s also up 2 all of u to do the same or not :D after all thas jus my opinion
52. Mark | June 8th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Blasha what you did here was utterly irresponsible. You came in here and accused villa moda of selling replicas based supposedly on an experience that happened with you. Now you’re saying you didn’t even buy the bag from villa moda! Seriously thats really fucking lame, I would have expected much more from you.
53. Eng.Sar | June 9th, 2009 at 12:37 am
K…I wont buy bags from Villa Moda…cuz from what i heard i’m not sure about buying bags from them…and here is the thing….if u wana knw that the products that they sell in q8 is fake..just go to the products website and have a look at their branches all over the world…if u see q8 in it then their is no way they r selling fake items here!!!
54. Sarah | June 9th, 2009 at 1:40 am
Oh, please, Villa Moda doesn’t sell fake bags. Sheikh Majed is actually friends with many of the designers. Do you actually think he’d sell fake bags if he has a partnership? Besides, they buy the bags in wholesale price, which is a fraction of what the bag really costs. For example, if a bag is 600 KD, they bought it for about half the price, thus making a major profit. Villa Moda is a recognized fashion retailer, being hailed by the likes of Elle Magazine, and even Anna Wintour at Vogue. There’s no way they’d sell fake goods, which would jeopardize their businesses and relationships with the fine fashion houses. Thus, the rumors necessitating that Villa Moda sells fake goods is absurd. The fake goods that were confiscated were to be sold at places like Souk Salmiya. They even had pictures of the fake goods in the article, which looked extremely fake (i.e. the cheap fake kind). Get over it.

Its really nice to see the reputation VM has and the trust that its clientele has bestowed on it…but people..please remember…if it can be done, it probably is being done…
56. Nathalie | June 9th, 2009 at 8:04 am
I for one miss the Kuwait Villa Moda, the VM here in Dubai just reopened at the DIFC and is only a fraction of the size and brands, not to mention the tent sales in Kuwait is out of this world…
57. ok go | June 9th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Sheikh Majed isn’t part of Villa Moda anymore. In fact, he’s completely out of the whole company. These days he’s focusing on his art gallery, Al Sabah Art & Design, at the Corniche Club.
Villa Moda sales are nasty. They bring out all the stock from previous seasons, and I still think even 50% off is not enough for the garbage thats out there.
The Manolo shop is a disgrace to the image of Manolo. Whoever is doing the buying needs to take some tips from professionals.
58. AndyQ8 | June 9th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Above everything, I won’t buy anything from VM simply because they still sell animal furs. I’m not doubting that they sell genuine goods, I’d just like to see FAKE fur rather than real fur.
59. smokey | June 9th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
I soooooo 2nd Desert Girl!!
60. OGQ8E | June 9th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Im sick and tired of people who have nothing better to do than to talk about shit lilke this .
Vila moda ( im not a customer ) is a respectable Joint . end of Issue
AndyQ8 , get a life .
there im done
61. diurnal | June 9th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Typical, innit? Makes one realize just how common VM’s become of late.
Did it take the men police to contain the situation, or their women bedfellows?
62. blasha | June 10th, 2009 at 12:09 am
do u wanna go there n buy an item and then send it to a shop in london or france? i’ll pay for everything. and yes, all brands in kuwait are fake
63. Mark | June 10th, 2009 at 12:11 am
Blasha, you’re talking out of your ass again.
64. Me | June 10th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Guess What ?!!!!!
I’m going 2DAY :p
65. nocturnal | June 10th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
lol @ blasha.
someone needs to be put on a leash.
66. Faten | June 10th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
I personally think it’s a silly thing, bs el3yab 3nd elbab :S i don’t know how to translate it. It means whenever you make fun of people/things, you can be sure that life would be short enough to get right back at you.
but to tell the truth, bags could be a treasured item in a girl’s closet ;p
67. radiant guy | June 11th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
how shallow.
68. hosam | June 11th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
well dudes, ppl here are fighting as a result of a “7aza, so i’m not surprised at all.
