Twenty years ago, Boucheron opened its first boutique in the United Arab Emirates. Since 2006, what began as a presence in the region has grown into a meaningful relationship, one built through connection with the country’s artists, artisans, entrepreneurs, and the local businesses that shape everyday life in the Emirates.

To mark this special milestone, from 11 to 17 May, Boucheron is dedicating a week-long celebration to the UAE at its boutique in The Dubai Mall, bringing together Emirati talent, homegrown brands, and members of the creative community. The celebration will also continue at Mall of the Emirates from 15 to 18 May with a further series of activations.

At the centre of the programme is a renewed collaboration with Emirati artist Hussain AlMoossawi, whose photographic studies of Dubai’s residential façades have become a unique visual tribute to the city’s architectural identity. For Letter to Dubai, his images are transformed into a collection of postcards, inviting guests to write personal handwritten messages to someone they love.
Also joining the Maison is Inner Child, the beloved homegrown café known for its signature hot chocolate, alongside founder Chef Alhassan Bin Dhabooi Alfalasi, who will host a special culinary moment at the Dubai Mall boutique. A children’s workshop introducing the art of gilding will also offer young guests a glimpse into one of the craft traditions that has shaped Boucheron for nearly two centuries.

Completing the experience is Arcadia, founded by Emirati entrepreneur Amna Al Habtoor, whose fragrances are inspired by the memories, textures, and spirit of the region. A signature scent will accompany the activation throughout the week.
More than a celebration, this is Boucheron’s tribute to the UAE, its people, its makers, and the quiet decades of shared stories that continue to shape the Maison’s journey in the region.
