MINT Market Returns this September at Al Habtoor Polo Resort

The kids are heading back to school… and that means it’s time for mums to enjoy a bit of YOU time!

For this, MINT Market will be hosting its Back to School Pop Up, happening on Saturday, 6th September 202, from 9 AM to 5 PM at the Andalucia Ballroom, Al Habtoor Polo Resort, sponsored by Curaprox Arabia, the experts in family oral care.

After a long summer, this pop-up is about giving mums a moment to refresh, recharge, and indulge while the kids are happily entertained. By bringing together some of the UAE’s most exciting homegrown brands in one place, the MINT Market Back to School Pop Up is all about shopping, style, wellness, and fun for all ages.

From handmade accessories and sustainable fashion to luxe self-care, homegrown teas, and back-to-school essentials, this edition will feature a beautifully curated line-up of UAE-based entrepreneurs. Shoppers can explore unique finds such as The Tallow Bias, Paradise Hammam, Arcina Jewelry and Lily ‘N’ Ella Handmade Jewellery, alongside Japanese handcrafted designs from KLUNA. For those looking to indulge in wellness and skincare, THY Skin, Deeper Beauty, and Mucharaka Tea offer mindful moments of self-care, while Curaprox Arabia will showcase family-friendly oral care favourites. Style lovers can discover statement pieces from Midnight Angels by PC with handcrafted sleep, lounge, and travel wear; Fabzeen’s hand-painted leather handbags that embody sustainable fashion and affordable luxury; and Hayet Zerelli’s contemporary jewellery designs. Rounding out the mix are creative brands such as Penelope Made This, BMG’s Crochet with its handmade plushies and toys, and Allbaby, delivering thoughtfully designed baby essentials to support both mums and little ones.

Starting from AED 20 per child, there will also be kids’ activities running all day long, including clay sculpting and pottery play with Pureplay, design-your-own phone cases with Habibti Charms, and of course, endless fun on the bouncy castle (free of charge).

At 10 AM, adding a touch of glamour, a limited-edition fashion show will be hosted and MCed by empowerment coach Carina Harvey, shining a spotlight on local designers. The show features Midnight Angels by PC, Fabzeen, and Hayet Zerelli Designs, bringing flair to the runway and straight into your wardrobe.

For the mums, an inspiring session will be held at 11 AM by leading UAE voice, Malini Ohri, Founder of Saantè Selfcare and Longevity Coach & Wholistic Beauty Expert, with a workshop focused on inner healing, transformation, and self-care.

If that wasn’t enough, guests can enjoy complimentary tea or coffee with every breakfast menu item purchased. Plus, spend AED 100 on F&B and unlock a free pool pass at the resort’s stunning pool, complete with a swim-up bar, shaded cabanas, and a dedicated kids’ pool.

With shopping, style, kids’ fun, and mum-approved moments all under one roof, this MINT Market edition promises to be the ultimate back-to-school celebration.
