This Is Kye-Rectory

This has been long due but anyway, Im still going to post it. Haha.. So last weekend, The Gardens was officially launched on 29 Sept 2007 although like its counterpart Pavilion, much were still under construction. Anyhow, I went a day earlier the launch to check things out. My impression of TG was very high, and need to say, I wasn’t being disappointed.

Since I was coming from the Mega Mall, I just took a stroll under the marquees adorning walkway right from the center court of the Mega Mall [near to the Starbucks] to the entrance of Gardens. The walkway was beautiful, complete with small chandeliers as if to give you that exquisite feeling as you made your way to the new discovery.

True to its name, Gardens stay close to its principle by using mostly natural resources, namely wood, in its interior decorations. But if you are already familiar with Pavilion, you would find Gardens rather drab as the boutiques are most likely as the ones in Pavilion, such as Guess by Marciano, Guess, Gap, Gap Kids, Massimo Dutti, Club Monaco, Armani Exchange, Banana Republic, Nine West and others.

There were also high-end labels like Coach, Montblanc, The Hour Glass and others. And soon, The M Store will be opened and it will carry long-awaited labels that would make their debut in Malaysia, most specifically in Gardens, such as Michael Kors, Rock & Republic and [believe it or not] Karl Lagerfeld. Rock & Republic is specialised in carrying denim goods and its most renowned work was when they collaborated with Victoria Beckham in ‘Victoria Beckham for R&R’ jeans range. Karl Lagerfeld needs no introduction as this designer for Chanel, Fendi, Yves Saint Laurent and his own label is already master of his trade. People out there just get ready to fork out 6-figure amount for a couture dress by Mr Lagerfeld himself.

There are 3 department stores namely Marks & Spencer, Isetan and Robinsons. Robinsons used to be in KL circa 1970s but here they are, making their so-called debut again. Carrying affordable items in luxurious surrounding, Robinsons has already gain a spot in my shopping preference. Isetan on the other hand, upgraded itself [just like Parkson did in Pavilion] by carrying high end labels like Burberry, Salvatore Ferragamo, Celine, Anya Hindmarch and Marc Jacobs. Gee…Marc Jacobs is everywhere nowadays..

The outlay of the stores was nice. Plenty of spaces with gigantic sofas for you to rest your tired legs after a long spree of shopping. As they say ‘Its About You’, you could tell that you’ll fall in love with this place. A worth of visits, again and again.
