New York fashion brand Rag & Bone has opened its first ever store in Dubai. The long awaited opening is a welcome addition to the vibrant area of City Walk in Al Safa.
The store itself is full of the core wardrobe staples the label is best known for: understated cargo trousers, chic faded denim swing tops and graphic woven tube dresses. The brand’s spring/summer collection is quintessential understated New York style, where sports chic meets streetwear, with just enough of an added grown-up edge. The simplicity of each piece is the secret to the brand’s success — it is this carefully considered design that makes Rag & Bone a go-to label for quietly cool separates.
Founded in New York in 2002 by British-born Marcus Wainwright and David Neville, the Dubai store is their latest overseas venture.
In addition to the newly opened location, Rag & Bone has also launched its newest ad campaign, running in the form of edgy, black and white images, and starring model Binx Walton.
Rag & Bone is now open in City Walk Dubai.

Some of Darwish's last words
"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008
His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.
