Where Dubai’s style crowd shops, swaps and samples.
Flayva at Al Ghurair Centre started 2026 fashionably strong with a month-long programme that feels like a fully-fledged creative lifestyle edit. Throughout January, the vibrant Deira hotspot becomes a playground for sustainability, style and culture, proving that the most interesting fashion moments don’t always happen on a runway; they’re just a trip down Sheikh Zayed Road.
Don’t miss your last chance to head down to Flayva at Al Ghurair which is running throughout January.
The month begins with the Book Nook & Swap Corner (5–23 January), created with Bookends UAE. Here, visitors can browse, swap or pick up preloved titles; a thoughtful way to refresh both your bookshelf and your mindset for the new year.
Next comes the Thrift & Treasure Market (5–24 January), a carefully curated mix of vintage fashion, upcycled finds and artisan pieces. Expect statement clothing, handcrafted accessories, and sustainable lifestyle goods, alongside hands-on workshops that teach visitors how to customise and upcycle their own wardrobe.
For those drawn to Dubai’s rising creative scene, the Gallery & Live Creations Exhibition (5–24 January) highlights work from local collectives including Spectrum Creations AE and Byte Inclusive Affairs. It’s part exhibition, part live studio — bringing an artistic edge to your shopping stroll.
The pop-up market promises art, fashion and creativity all in one place.
Families can join the action too, with Kids Storytelling Sessions and Art Workshops taking place across the month, plus a special meet-and-greet with author Fauza Beltz on 17 January. It’s a reminder that Flayva isn’t just about what you wear — it’s about what you discover and create along the way.
From mindful shopping and literary culture to hands-on creativity, Flayva offers a stylishly different way to begin the year.
