THE DUBAI INTERNATIONAL Convention and Exhibition Centre (DWTC) will transform into a shopaholic’s paradise on Wednesday, with the return of the Big Brands Mega Carnival.

The five-day event, from April 15-19 (11am to 11pm) will see huge discounts of up to 80% on all high-end luxury products. These will include the top names in fragrances, bags, watches, sunglasses, shoes, fashion clothes, accessories, cosmetics and hair products.

Labels on offer at Hall 4 of the DWTC (on Sheikh Zayed Road) will include Chopard, Ralph Lauren, Christian Dior, Cacharel, Lacoste and Geox. The spring sale will also feature big discounts on Crocs footwear for the first time.

There will be plenty of opportunity to win shopping vouchers too, with lucky draws being conducted every day.

Vijay Samyani from Inter Brands Corporation, which is organising the event, said that previous sales have averaged 10,000 customers per day. “Big Brands Carnival 2009 will be spread over 50,000 sq ft, which we believe will attract a lot of our old patrons and lot of new shoppers too,” he added.
