Mwaz was created to celebrate new worlds and new ways of thinking, ultimately curating these new discoveries into a captivating retail experience unlike anything seen before.  Each frontier has been designed with cutting-edge technologies to improve the consumer journey.

Anita Barr, head of purchasing at Mwaz, said:  “It was an absolute pleasure being a part of the Mwaz journey, by curating and buying an exclusive brand portfolio for the store and for a new market, as well as introducing brands such as Khaite, Magda Butrym and Aya Muse who are worn by some of the most influential women in the world.”

Nature and the soft natural forms of flowing tactile shapes inspire RARITIES. Decorative ceilings and lights create an ethereal ambiance, and the place generates a sense of peace with flowing organic artwork.  RARITIES is a women’s designer space that sells eveningwear, ready-to-wear, footwear, and accessories.

VISIONS is a carefully curated selection of women’s contemporary brands. The warehouse-style location, which reflects the brands’ DNA, features a cutting-edge design with sharp, angular alcoves and bright lighting, providing a space-age feeling.
