The Gate, which recently opened in Qatar, hosted an event organised by one of its new stores, Lola et Moi, a high-end couture retail outlet for kids. The function for ‘Doha Mums’, an expat community, took place on Friday at the Lola et Moi store. The event included entertainment for the kids, face painting and a drawing competition.“With Lola et Moi enhancing Qatar’s couture scene, children in Qatar can now take pleasure in the same clothes and accessories as their counterparts in other parts of the world, including Hollywood celebrity kids. Since each piece of clothing is uniquely designed, no child will wear the same outfit as any other,” said Mariam al-Khal, the brand representative for Lola et Moi in Qatar. Lola et Moi is a store that is devoted to the fashion and style needs of babies, and girls and boys between the ages of 6 months and 12 years. The boutique, established eight years ago in Lebanon, was inspired by the twin daughters of the founder and designer, Rania Tohme. The boutique has since then expanded covering the Middle East, Asia and other countries. It stocks luxury clothes and accessories for children, designed using vibrant colours, retro patterns and traditional silhouettes, together with fresh and unusual fabrics and fanciful adornments.
