MODA Mall, the new shopping complex on the ground floor of the landmark Bahrain World Trade Centre (BWTC) finalised the last of its new tenant signings this month ... and can proudly boast a who's-who of the fashion world.
The brand name designers previously unattainable locally include Burberrys, Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli, Marc Jacobs and Dior to name but a few of the dedicated boutiques with haute couture and ready to wear offerings.
In the jewellery focused Garden Court, the mall's management believes shoppers will be dazzled by jewels from world-leading diamond supplier, De Beers, complimented by top jewellers Piaget, Chopard and the latest tenant to sign, Channel Jewellery.
Duaij Al Rumahi, DTZ associate director, the managing and leasing agents for the BWTC development and Moda Mall Centre manager, said: "Moda Mall will be a regional fashion powerhouse, with no comparisons across the region, the sheer number of high-end boutiques under one roof in a relatively small complex has never been seen in the region."
He went on to explain that, currently, four units - Fendi, Versace, Hermes and Kenzo - are open to shoppers with the remaining outlets being in various stages of fitting.
The mall's anchor store will be Villa Moda, the luxury multi-brand retailer which originated in Kuwait in 1991 as the brain child of Shaikh Majed Al Sabah dubbed by the international fashion media as "the sheikh of chic".
Upon completion Moda Mall aims to present a "unique masterpiece of style and elegance" to the public. Its interior combines the concept elements of wind, water, motion and the veil highlighted by an impressive glass-domed entrance, cool marble floors and brushed steel.
Moda Mall will span approximately 16,500 square metres and will be comprised of the current 6,900 sq m Bahrain Commercial Complex, which is in the process of being refurbished, in addition to a new 9,600 sq m extension located on the ground floor of the BWTC development.
The mall offers a number of other facilities for customers including a range of fashionable cafes and restaurants, a 1,700 space car park and concierge service which is expected to operate seven days a week from 10am till 10pm.
