I've visited Orient 499 during my first trip to Beirut in 2010 and I believe it's still one of the most astonishing shops I've ever entered (in the most extraordinary city I've ever visited). I am so enthusiastic that I've placed it within the top 5 things to see on my personal Beirut Guide for traveler friends... and actually Ilaria and Andrea loved it, hadn't you guys? :)
Items vary from antiques to modern furniture, clothes and accessories mainly made in Lebanon, but also Turkey, Egypt, Morocco... what I've bought? A pair of decorated moccasins highly recommended by my dear friend Raffa, some delicately shaped and scented soaps and a unique ring.
Recently we've also received a gift from my lovely lovely beyroutina friend Tamima: a stunning silver pomegranate box for my collection. Many many thanks again Tami!
Orient 499 is a boutique featuring exclusive, original handicrafts and designer's creations. The founders are Middle-Eastern art lovers with an amazing taste for tradition and beyond belief sense for modernity.
