For the Love of Bread
At For the Love of Bread, we believe this staple of daily life should be celebrated as a source of nutrition and energy. That’s why our bread is made the old way. From a time before industrial milling. When organic wheat was milled using traditional stones that preserved the nutrient dense bran and germ. When the only way to leaven bread was slowly, using a sourdough starter that was passed down through the generations.
Forget Me Not

Our product range consists of name stickers, iron-on labels, shoe labels,
lunchboxes & water bottles, lunch bags, back packs and much more.
Finchitua
Finchitua is an edgy, modern streetwear brand featuring designs inspired by tribal Ethiopia.
The label’s name derives from the Ethiopian word ‘finchit’ which means ‘the girl with a gap between her teeth’ – like the label itself, a ‘finchit’ is unique, distinctly African and considered a mark of beauty for the bearer.
Damas Jewellery
Damas is a luxury fine jewellery destination built on a strong heritage & global outlook. Jewellers since 1907.
Gemelli
The vision for Gemelli was born from a place of love that only a mother can know and was inspired by the need to capture the special bond between a mother and child. Embracing your newborn for the first time is moment never forgotten and a moment in which mother and child should look and feel comfortable, stylish and most importantly….connected. The word ‘Gemelli’ is Italian for ‘twinning’ and responds to a mothers intense desire to be connected to their child.
Dibba Bay Oysters
Dibba Bay Oysters are farmed in the pristine waters of Dibba, Northern Fujairah, in the United Arab Emirates. We are the first farm in the Middle East growing gourmet oysters locally for our home market. The nutrient rich waters off the Gulf of Oman, combined with our team’s dedication to rear a remarkable product, make Dibba Bay Oysters a world class and distinctive product.

Lokal of the month
Mleiha
Mleiha, a UNESCO-nominated World Heritage Site in the Central Region of the Sharjah map, is home to a number of significant sites, including Bronze Age tombs and pre-Islamic forts. Fascinating artifacts and fossils were discovered here, including pottery, iron tools and camel skeletons. The Mleiha Archaeological Centre, which opened in 2016, houses these discoveries and even more artifacts that uncover ancient UAE history.
The centre also offers a range of tours and activities. You can explore the archaeological sites or venture into the sand dunes with a desert safari. Alternatively, you can also try other desert adventures like riding a quad bike or dune buggy over the sand. If you prefer to go on foot, consider trekking to Camel Rock for an expansive view of the desert. The surrounding area is a beautiful location for a desert camp on soft dunes and under glittering night stars.
