ten concept stores in Dubai that will blow your mind
Imbibing art and culture while expanding your wardrobe (which we need to put a hold on, frankly, because the closet doors won’t close now) sounds like a win-win in our books.
The whole experience of buying a chic piece from a unique designer and then socialising over a cup of artisan coffee sounds incredibly refreshing and concept stores are here to give you that.
Concept stores are different from a regular outlet in that they stock items from a variety of brands, mostly local, homegrown or niche ones that have a specific image and ethos. They’re ideal places to start shopping from small businesses that are more sustainable and make more of a statement
