Zimmermann in the UAE now runs to three boutiques, two in Dubai and one in Abu Dhabi, and the label also has boutiques in Riyadh, Kuwait and Bahrain. This guide covers each boutique, ordering online from the Gulf through Coveti, sizing, and the new season pieces that suit Gulf weddings, Eid and resort travel, with notes on modest styling and authenticity.

Zimmermann jewellery in the new Coveti edit is made from gold plated brass: sculptural hoops and drops in the Plume, Volute, Idle and Bloom lines, a long Volute necklace and a Volute bracelet set with freshwater pearls. Alongside it sit printed silk squares in 70cm, 90cm and 137cm sizes, slim neck and ribbon scarves, a wool shawl, a lace trimmed silk stole, three hats and a small set of hair pieces, with prices from $250 to $1,210.

Zimmermann bags in the new Coveti edit fall into two families: the Goldentime totes and shoulder bags in hand woven raffia, made for summer and travel, and the Cloud 91 clutches and shopper in pieced leather and suede, made for evening and the city. Alongside them sit two smaller pieces, the sculptural Facet Clutch and the gold Fringe Crossbody, with prices from $910 to $1,940.

Zimmermann shoes in the new Coveti edit run from flat slides and 5mm ballerinas, through 35mm, 40mm and 65mm daytime heels, up to 85mm heels and sandals and a 105mm platform. Every pair is sold in EU sizes, most from EU 35 to 41, and Zimmermann states that its shoes fit true to size, so the usual EU size is the right place to start.

Zimmermann Resort 2027 is built around three capsules: Clash, the runway led ready to wear that Zimmermann labels Cruise 2027, and Fairlight and Echo, which pair the Resort Swim 2027 swimwear with dresses, shirts and shorts made to wear over it. The prints to know are jacobean, paisley, harlequin and blooms, and Coveti carries pieces from all three capsules, from a $250 bikini pant to a $4,370 lace maxi dress.
