Gift store and gallery Virgule opens in UAE

Buying an original yet reasonably priced gift is a difficult task in the UAE. With just a handful of options available to us we sometimes feel a bit repetitive when it comes to our purchases.

However, things are looking up with the launch of a new gift store and gallery, Virgule-shop.com.

The bespoke online store was recently launched in the UAE by Mona Balsini and Fati Rannou, and we’ve already spotted plenty of gift options - some for ourselves too!

What to expect? Persian calligraphy earrings, colourful espadrilles and handmade ceramics as well as beautiful paintings by up and coming artists.
