I'm so excited to share this news with you! I have perused the
West Elm U.S. website so many times always wishing they'd open a store in the United Arab Emirates. When I found out
West Elm indeed opened their first stylish furniture store in Dubai, I was ecstatic, that I immediately dressed up and literally drove 40 km away to Dubai Mall to check out the store for myself.
West Elm originated in Brooklyn, New York in 2002. Since then, it has become a popular destination for design afficionados in North America. Alshaya brought the brand in the Middle East with its first store opening in Kuwait, October of last year. The same company that made Pottery Barn available to the Gulf region. The West Elm Dubai Mall branch just opened last Saturday, 23rd February 2013.
Location: Lower Ground Level of Dubai Mall (Former Index Living Mall) near Waitrose
