Five Stores at the North Shore Redefining Seaside Style

Last week we published a piece about the ethereal boutique-escapes that have sashayed onto the Sahel scene. There’s a certain nature-inspired earthy aesthetic and lushly languid vibe that’s replaced the raucous rowdiness of previous North Coast summers. Well, it seems the sleek simplicity has seeped into the seaside style scene with a number of lush lifestyle destinations carefully curating the most gorgeous local, regional and international summer collections. Here are our favourite Sahel stores of the summer…

CAN LIMÓN – Zoya Ghazala Bay // @canlimonstore

Languid linens, earthy home accessories, natural ceramics and Pinterest-worthy pieces pepper this dreamy space curated by the famed lifestyle duo behind The Lemon Tree & Co.

COMME IL FAUT – Mazeej Hotel Hacienda White // @shopcommeilfaut

A cool contemporary concept store featuring a fresh selection of local and regional fashion and homeware brands including Dina Shaker, Alia Abaza, Mounaya Gallery, Temraza and more.

VILLA BABOUSHKA – Marassi Design Hub // @villababoushka

Visionary Amir Fayo takes his Villa Baboushka brand to the beach imbuing it with the same sass and spirit of the Capital Business Park flagship store. The carefully curated pieces (from stunning swimsuits to sensual summer dresses) hail from some of the world’s coolest designers. Fayo, as always, serves us a lesson in masterful fashion buying. You’ll want one of every fabulous thing.
