Dubai Finds: A Design Directory
95% of our job is not glamorous - long desk hours, endless traffic, grimy site visits, casual sexism - but once in a blue moon we get to be the ritzy glitzy people you think we are. Last week we got flown to Dubai (yes, you read that right) to buy accessories for a client.
Ask us why this was the perfect opportunity..
(a) Love Dubai
