Oh my word! Calling all Creatives Worldwide! Fly to Dubai just to see this incredible store! I went dilly with excitement to say the least and had to be DRAGGED out before I blew my budget and my luggage allowance. Too much too mention but anything you can think of, desire, require for your next creation is RIGHT here !

Zero star wasn’t available therefore they get one star.Yet another sad example of daylight robbery. Most art materials are up to 250% (yes, you heard right, two and half times) more expensive than counties with 20% VAT.if you can avoid buying anything, since such businesses shouldn’t be supported and are part of the problems in a city victim of inflationary unjustified pricing.The service is as lousy as possible, and i hope such business leave place to professional and honorable ones.Shameful. And the above is an expert opinion and not only based on the first (and hopefully last) experience.

This place is HUGE. If you actually dont know what you want I recommend you to bring a picture or the specifications in order to get the best of your experience.The prices are a little high but.as far as Ive seen this one of the biggest places to buy craft items, paint, art and drawing, yarn and some quilting things.If you are familiar with Michaels in the USA, this is kind of similar.

This place pretty much everything you need when it comes to art and crafts, even sewing or knitting. They have 3 main categories of items, but Im not sure how they divide them into the 3 stores because they overlap and thats a little confusing, you never know which one to park in and if you pass the one you want you will have to park far and walk all the way or drive around the block again. They have false plants, pots, home decor, wood, tiny parts for design projects for university, benches chairs, baskets, paint, wall decor, you name it. If i want a random material for my artwork and dont know where that thing can be sold i usually just go directly there because they are most likely to have it. I go there for all my art supplies.

Oh! How I love that place!If youre looking for any crafty materials, you will find it there.I was amazed when I first came. Because I have lived in UAE for 2years and I only found that haven accidentally. It is like the counter part of Michaels Craft store in LA. But it is kinda pricey of course here in Dubai than in the US.I am a craft connoisseur Lol. Anyway, right now Im into painting and I was looking for some metallic watercolor paint. And yes they have it. And all sorts of glorious stuff!The area is too huge and each section will make you...Wow!!!I will definitely be back.I took the liberty to take some photos for your reference artsy people!😍😘😉Enjoy!!!😊😊😊

Amazing shop with such a big variety if supplies for arts, crafts, party supplies! I can always find everything i need. Girls who work there are very helpful but they should at least stick to casual clothes, some girls wear pjs and sleepers which reduces value for the shop. Hence, i rate it 4 out of 5.

It’s a great place to buy stationary, art paints party stuff, craft stuff, jewelry beads n accessories. They have lot more, it’s just a bit pricy. Their collection on jewelry beads are a lot but not the colours I was looking for n certainly not the size. They did not have variety in threads as well, only one brand that too very expensive. some of the strands of crystals they had were pricy. I gave 4 stars because they have lot of other stuff under one roof. I just wish they had variety in beads n threads. The staff will help when u ask for help. They know what is where in the shop n they guide u straight to it. U can even call them and ask for product n they will let u know if they have it or not. Friendly n helpful staff.

Great variety of stuff for all of us who like to draw, paint, sculpture or just be creative. You can find almost anything you need to be more productive at your work, the only missing star in this review is the price. A bit costly then it should be. Cheers

Three stores along Umm Suqeim street have now been condensed down to one, but it is huge - spread over two floors. The staff are busy sorting everything out at the moment but the selection is vast. If you cant find what youre looking for here then you probably wont find it in Dubai.

Review №33

The variety of interest areas and products stocked is quite impressive. Unfortunately the items are severely overpriced and I know of many artists whom shop somewhere with less variety, to make up for the big price difference.The managers should consider lowering prices and having a quicker stock turnaround, to generate the same or more profit. It could be more powerful to not position themselves as an high priced specialty retailer but rather an indispensable local art supplier.

This is a heaven for artistic people! Whatever hobby you have- from needlework to painting to sewing- you will find all the tools you need here. They even have cute kids craft ideas and toys... I have never seen so many types of drawing pencils ever! Definitely come to this place to get your tools and perhaps become inspired to start a new hobby!

Review №41

With a huge selection, its definitely the place to get your craft supplies that you cant wait to receive from online. But man, do the prices hurt so much! And the return policy is an archaic form of retail from days long forgotten (exchange only within 7 days)! Customer service has gotten better from a couple years ago, but thats not saying much.

Im a local artist and find this to be a one-stop shop for anything your creative self desires and even more! - only let down is how over priced it is. Would be great if all the inventory was online and available for online orders & delivery - but its not (yet - maybe one day?)

I find Creative Minds Bitter Sweet.They definitely have an amazing variety of party supplies and costumes - whatever you might need they are sure to have it.However I find their prices to be very high for what they offer. If one plans properly you can buy all these things in other countries - but if you don’t you pay a serious premium.

What a perfect series of shops to provide all the personal items a house needs to add character and intellectual stimulus.A wonderful seemingly endless source of materials for all the crafts . I ended filling my large basket with all the treasures I could ever creatively need.From jewellery making and crochet to oil painting and gardening, there was ample stock of everything and the staff were helpful and friendly and knew the whereabouts of all the stock and which of the three enormous stores the goods could be foundIt was a sheer pleasure visiting all the stores and I will do it again as soon as possibleThere were Art works, all manner of artificial flowers and wreaths, a lighting department and a kitchenware section with an excellent selection of glassware.

1.I would give zero star!! They have alot of stuff but extremely expensive at least 25% increase. You can find much cheaper prices on other shops. 2.They dont have refund policy hence raised complaint to Dubai Consumer rights for price increase and refund policy.

Ali baba spot for all creatives in Dubai. From art and crafts to textile dyes, from artificial flowers to interiors small furniture or party accessories this shop is spread along umm suqeim road within 3 different spots located next to each other. For all your tools and materials not easy to find, this shop has a very wide selection. Staff is helpful and will do their best to fulfill your needs. A sketchbook? Yarns for knitting? A gift to make? Your Halloween costume? Go to creative minds!

Best one-stop place for any arts and crafts. It is very vast inside and quite overwhelming with so much stuff you didnt know you needed! haha. The staff are super helpful when you are wandering around lost and will point you in the right direction. The store is split into 3 buildings- 1st building is fancy dress/costumes, 2nd is arts and crafts and 3rd is plants and they do Christmas deco(when its the season) only problem it is a little bit pricey.... but if u want to get everything arty in one place (and dont want to risk ordering something random/wrong off the internet) then..... this is your place.

Still one of the only places in Dubai for artful people. The variety of artistic or craft items is endless.If i could make one comment, their prices have risen too much over time and they are on the pricey side now making it harder to maintain a hobby or complete a project without capitol to support it.

Review №73

Two weeks ago i visited Al Barsha branch to get Calligraphy supplies and purchased COPIC wide marker(orange color) and i found there was only one marker in stock that too cap was damaged. I inquire staff if i can get another but staff play with cap by pulling another marker and by placing Tape on it handed over to me. I trusted and took it though its expensive. But after two weeks even i used it rarely and realized ink is over in 2 weeks .....impossible ...to finish that fast. This is just cheating. I have been taken extra care of marker by placing cap covered and in right temperature. But how is that possible. i spent money and that too faulty product....look like marker was used.

Slightly confusing with all the different Creative minds stores. Some staff take you to location and others just point the way like you know the store. Staff are constantly gathering in groups and dont approach you, even if you pass them constantly for a whole hour. There are 3 different Creative Mind stores and some staff keep pointingme to each store, completely different information each time. Regardless of all that, the store itself has some good products.

It is a place you find absolutely anything you need to do arti stuff however I understand everything there made in the U.S and pay the shipping cost to bring them over but most of the items are super pricey. Hand craft materials should have reasonable price encourages you to get and practice more not to empty your pocket.

Its good. Youd definitely find lots of things you are looking for. However, the biggest negative thing I experienced is, you dont find those helpful shop attendants roaming around the shops. Theyll only come to you when you call for help. Its a big shop. Attendants should be roaming around across the shop to help customers choose/ get information for the product theyre looking for. I must say theyre very helpful when you get them 👍
