Celebrating the Opening of Martha Stewart Home
If you live in Dubai or holiday traveling takes you there, please stop in at a Martha Stewart home store - it's open for business!
I hope you saw photos on my Instagram page @MarthaStewart48 as well as on @MarthaStewartMe - last month I went to the Middle East to celebrate the openings of my first-ever stand alone retail shops. Developed with UAE retail partner Apparel Group, there are currently three locations - one at Mirdiff City Center in Dubai, one at Dubai Hills Mall, and one at Mall of Emirates, with more to come very soon. Every beautifully designed space is filled with products I selected and use. Categories include kitchenware, bedding and bath, entertaining essentials, home fragrance, and décor. One can shop for everything from pots and pans to towels and sheets - there's absolutely something for everyone.
Here are some photos, enjoy.
-
- What do you think? Here I am inside one of my new Martha Stewart home stores in Dubai. Additional stores are slated to open in India, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia in the coming months.
-
- In my store, there are so many items for the home. Here I am under a rack of my signature pots. Every store has decorative touches from my own home. My most used pots and pans are hung above my personal kitchen counter for easy access whenever I am cooking.
-
- My Martha by Martha Stewart Stainless Steel Saucepans with copper exteriors are essential in the kitchen. These pots and pans distribute heat excellently and have extra long riveted handles for strength and leverage. You’ll use them over and over for years.
-
- If you prefer something more colorful, try my heavy guage enamel aluminum nonstick pots and pans. These work well for induction, gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and glass stovetops.
-
- Are you baking for the holidays? You’ll want to shop my collection of pans and other baking products. These are made of carbon steel with nonstick surfaces that are easy to grease and quick to clean.
-
- There is also a gadget wall filled with different kitchen tools including my favorite square ladle.
-
- My bestselling books are also available in the store – buy one for yourself or gift one, or two, or three for the holidays! Here, my books are displayed with my 12-quart enamel on steel scratch resistant stock pots in “Martha blue” – perfect for cooking large servings for holiday gatherings.
-
- And looking for drinking glasses? There are martini sets, wine goblets, and glasses for every day use in a range of colors and designs, including my Hobnail Glass Tumblers – great for the kitchen and the bar.
-
- And of course, bedding is a big category. Elevate your sleep space with my luxuriously comfortable and soft sheets.
-
- I design my bedding to be ultra light and breathable. My sheets are also very durable and are made to resist stains, tears, and wear from frequent washing.
-
- My stores are all designed to be bright and inviting.
-
- Here I am with fashion entrepreneur and digital influencer, Karen Wazen. She has her own eyewear brand and gifted me these sunglasses during my visit.
-
- Here are some members of my team and the associates at one of the stores before I arrived.
-
- This photo was taken from the balcony of my hotel, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab – so nice and luxurious. It is overlooking the sea and located across from the Jumeirah Burj Al Arab. The views were breathtaking.
-
- Here’s another look from my balcony. The resort is located on this stretch of Dubai’s pristine coastline.
-
- I also made a stop at the Pierre Hermé Paris Cafe, where I met Executive Pastry Chef Steve Thiery. Here we are with a box of their popular macarons. The café offers them in a variety of unique flavor combinations.
-
- The shop is also well known for its excellent pastries and chocolates – all made by hand.
-
- Here is a view from above the pastry case – hard not to want to taste every one.
-
- And here I am with our own Chief Creative Officer, Kevin Sharkey, in front of one of my retail stores. I am so proud to celebrate their openings – and I can’t wait to open the next one!
