      Breton ventures into gobal markets: Unveiling its flagship store in Dubai

      by

      Life by Team Emirates Woman 23 mins ago IN PARTNERSHIP: Breton, the illustrious Brazilian luxury furniture design company boasting over 55 years of rich history, is poised to make its mark on the international stage with the inauguration of its first flagship store in Dubai. With an existing footprint of 19 stores across Brazil, this strategic move signifies Breton’s ambitious foray into new territories, starting with the cosmopolitan hub of Dubai. Situated in the prestigious residential district along Al Wasl Road, Breton’s Dubai flagship spans an impressive 2,300 square meters. The choice of Dubai as the launchpad for its global expansion was deliberate, owing to the city’s cosmopolitan allure, burgeoning luxury market, and exponential retail growth, which has soared to $10 billion over the past decade. André Rivkind, CEO of Breton, emphasized the significance of this milestone, stating, “We are attentive to significant business opportunities, and that’s why we chose Dubai to host this new challenge. It is very important for the brand to spread its ideals and values internationally, as well as to carry the name of Brazil and national design linked to the quality and sophistication of our products.” Backing Breton’s endeavor is local investor Rohit Prem Khemany, whose blend of Brazilian and Indian heritage, coupled with astute business acumen, positions him as a catalyst for the brand’s expansion plans across the Middle East, Asia, and North America. The Dubai flagship epitomizes elegance and innovation, housed within a meticulously renovated villa featuring multiple levels, a rooftop garden, and open outdoor spaces conducive to hosting events for architects and designers. Notably, the Glass Gallery, conceived by renowned Brazilian architect Fernanda Marques, serves as a striking showcase for Breton’s latest furniture collection, accentuating the brand’s commitment to design excellence. Daniel Pegoraro, Director of Product, Style, and Image for Breton, underscored the brand’s distinctive allure, stating, “Breton’s differentiating factor lies in its original design crafted by prominent and acclaimed names in Brazilian design, and all products can be fully customized.” Moreover, Breton’s commitment to sustainability remains unwavering, with the Dubai unit adhering to eco-friendly practices akin to its stores in Brazil. From waste recycling to planting trees in the Atlantic Forest through a partnership with the NGO SOS Mata Atlântica, Breton’s eco-conscious initiatives underscore its dedication to environmental stewardship. With a legacy built on sophistication, distinctive design, and a steadfast commitment to environmental and social responsibility, Breton has emerged as a beacon of excellence in the high-end furniture market. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram.

      5 interesting things to know about Emirati content creator Khalid Al Ameri

      by

      Life by Sarah Joseph 2 hours ago Emirati content creator Khalid Al Ameri is an avid storyteller. Having cultivated an impressive online following for himself over the years, Khalid has shared many important messages with his audience. Some of his most popular videos are about growing up in a multicultural household, his mother is from the UK and his father is Emirati, his son’s autism, sharing an insight into how the UAE handled the COVID-19 pandemic and the story of his wife, Salama Mohamed’s skin condition vitiligo. Delving behind the lens of the camera, here’s a few facts you may not know about this hugely popular content creator. He completed his MBA at Stanford University After having graduated from high school at the American International School in Abu Dhabi, Khalid, later on went to complete his MBA at Stanford University in Business Administration. However, he discovered his passions lay elsewhere in storytelling. Doing a complete 180 from his MBA, Khalid moved into the journalism field and eventually landed a role as CNN’s Middle Eastern Correspondent. He’s known for his selfless acts From volunteering in schools around the world as part of Dubai Cares’ imitative to performing good deeds around the country. Khalid is known for spreading positivity and awareness through his selfless acts, including earlier last year when he took a video on YouTube explaining the concept of a Balikbayan box, where several household items are sent back home on behalf of residents of the Philippines. He also gave his housekeeper, Leila, a surprise with the box and a ticket to visit her family. His goal through content creation is to bring people together From laying emphasis on co-existing without conflict to sharing experiences that encourage one another, Khalid is always spreading love and awareness about serious issues. By also running a Facebook group entitled ‘Khalid’s World Group’, participating members are encouraged to share their experiences and see how they can help each other accordingly. He has a Scottish mother Having grown up in a multicultural household, Khalid is half Emirati, half Scottish. However, having grown up in the UAE, holding a UAE passport and having worked for UAE Government entities, he sees himself as “100 per cent Emirati”. In a column for The National, he said, “My mother is British and I love her – however, I am 100 percent Emirati. It is all I have ever known; it’s the country I love and work for every day. So how different am I? I don’t think I’m that different at all.” He reached new heights earlier this year Having garnered a massive fan base from making lighthearted and humorous videos with his wife Salama, the couple reached new heights (quite literally) at the beginning of this year. In January of this year, Khalid announced the exciting news that he and Salama had “TikTok’d [their] way to the Burj Khalifa” to his 1.2 million followers. “Can’t believe it,” he said of the opportunity. “Thank you [TikTok Arab creators] for the incredible opportunity and all of the support you have given our work, we are so excited for the year ahead and all the stories we are going to tell together.” – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Instagram @khalidalameri More

      by

      Life by Ruman Baig 14 mins ago Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah delivered a poignant speech at the inaugural Web Summit Qatar, urging for an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing conflict in Gaza and stressing the importance of enduring Palestinian solidarity. Speaking in Doha, Queen Rania emphasized the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza, condemning the obstruction of vital aid delivery and questioning the moral justification behind the disparity in global responses to human suffering. She emphasized the paradox of increased connectivity amidst isolation, as Palestinians in Gaza continue to endure dire living conditions while striving to share their plight with the world. Queen Rania lamented the historical obscurity surrounding the Palestinian narrative, which has allowed for their dehumanization and the normalization of egregious acts of violence against them. Drawing attention to the harrowing images and stories emerging from Gaza, Queen Rania highlighted the urgency of the situation and called for global solidarity in addressing the root causes of the conflict. She stressed that the suffering of Palestinians is not confined to isolated incidents of violence but encompasses decades of systemic oppression and deprivation. Her speech at Web Summit Qatar served as a powerful call to action amidst the largest gathering of startups in the Middle East, highlighting the intersection of technology, innovation, and social justice on a global scale. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram.
