About Us

Like many young Kuwaitis, the founders of pret-a-souk.com had gone cyber, purchasing a significant amount of their wardrobe from on-line western boutiques, and mega-stores. But noticing the growth of the local fashion industry, the girls wanted to invite the world to view, and perhaps purchase, the extra-ordinary house wares and fashions of a number of Kuwaiti designers. Countless brainstorm sessions, phone calls, meetings, and sleepless nights later, pret-a-souk.com was born. Providing the finest handcrafted fashion and house-ware products that Kuwait has to offer, the website has been bombarded with emails from both local and Middle-eastern designers, wanting to have their collections featured on the site. The girls are humbled, but admit that they're not surprised, given the void in the region's on-line shopping market. Working out of their warehouse, and packaging orders themselves, the girls have become attached to many of the items on the site's meticulously edited collections. They confess that it's sometimes difficult for them to let go of many of the pieces that they exhibit on-line. Difficult for them, perhaps, but a pleasure for recipients of pret-a-souk's trademark natural brown box, with black ribbon.
