Dubai is the destination for fashion enthusiasts, boasting diverse designer boutiques and exclusive collections. From renowned international designers to emerging local boutiques, Dubai caters to every taste. Below are the top designer boutiques you could find in Dubai:
1. Maison Clad
The story began with Coralie Francois, a fashion buyer who likes to support emerging designers and has an eye for curated pieces. Francois wanted to bring exclusive pieces from 40 rising European designers into Dubai.
As her boutique gained popularity, Francois decided to step up her boutique by creating her own label: WhiteHello. Therefore, in 2022, and through inspiration from customer feedback, Francois brought WhiteHello into life, with unique, customized pieces brought every week. The founder’s motto is “to be elegant in every situation”, with focus on femininity, color and prints.
Maison Clad currently operates in 6 different locations across Dubai, including Mercato Mall and Palm Jumeirah.
