Currently It's Luxury operates exclusively in Kuwait with a plan to expand in all GCC countries within few months.Inspired by the mother company success story, ITS LUXURY as new family member of Trafalgar, will build the online success story through working hard to achieve their customers’ satisfaction.

 

Ever since its formation in 1972, the company has steadily emerged locally as one of the key players in the inspiring realm of luxury retailing.

 

The very humble start of one store managed by the couples as a secondary business to fuel this passion for watches and jewellery beside their already successful venture in real estate. Yahya  and Heidi Al Ansari never expect their one store operation to become their major source of income.

 

Trafalgar was able to quick develop a reputation of retailing and catering to the growing elite through periods of many economical heights and fantastic growth for Kuwait. But Trafalgar's true test came through many tumultuous periods in which the company was able to not only survive, but emerge in a stronger position.
