For many people, nothing comes close to shopping trips. It’s a time to grab new items and accessories that will make up their dream home or turn eyes when they walk past. If your style is geared towards the high side—designer outlets, high-end products, trendy brands, and unique finds—then this list is for you.
Paris, France
Paris has been a leading culture and fashion hotspot since the 17th century. It is home to 2.1 million people and filled with boutiques and famous fashion houses. Among the flagship stores you’ll find in the city are Chanel, Gucci, and Dior. A high-style and class shopping experience also awaits you in the streets of Avenue des Champs-Elysées and Rue Saint Honore.
New York City, USA
Besides being a global center of entertainment, New York is a city visited by people ready to grab some masterpieces. Many novels, movies, and TV shows are set here, so as you tour, you may find yourself in a place you’ve read about or watched before. Tom Ford, Missoni, Tory Burch, and their luxury neighbors are waiting to serve you.
Milan, Italy
Italy’s second top city in terms of population is not just a place to visit when looking for art galleries. For the best experience, you should be looking at Corso Venezia, Corso Buenos Aires, or the city’s most popular shopping street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele II. High-standard people come here to acquire their next head-turners from the shopping streets.
London, UK
This city, home to 8.8 million people, is in southeast England. It is the capital and largest city in England and the UK. Dover Street Market, a six-story fashion store that features brands like Balenciaga and Gucci, can be found in Mayfair, London. Alternatively, you can join the elite to grab a bite at Fortnum & Mason before hunting for homeware at Harrods.
Tokyo, Japan
There are so many people in Tokyo that it is one of the most populated cities on Earth and the second most populated capital. While sports lovers may visit to check out the Tokyo Dome, many others troop in to shop. You can shop in Tokyo at Louis Vuitton in Ginza, Chanel in Omotesando, and Gucci in Roppongi.
Dubai, UAE
When you think of Dubai, two things easily come to mind—tourism and luxury. You’ll find the world’s tallest building here and more five-star hotels than you can find in any city except London. Shopping here is as luxurious as it gets. In Dubai Mall, you’ll find Max Mara, Omega, Maison Balmain, and My Vapery, among other big names.
Los Angeles, USA
L.A., also called The City of Angels or La-la-land, falls behind New York in terms of population. With about 17 percent of its population working in the creative industry, it shows it truly deserves the tag of the world’s creative capital. You can shop in Li Joli and Kitson at Melrose Heights or Prada and Tiffany & Co. at Rodeo Drive, among other options.
Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong has gone from being a sparsely populated farming and fishing area to being a name almost anyone hears and instantly recognizes. Among the places to pick up luxury items are Belowground and Wristcheck in Landmark Mall and Chanel and Dior in IFC Mall. The city has 7.4 million residents today and more skyscrapers than any other city.
Madrid, Spain
The doors of Madrid are open to you—whether you’re a Real Madrid fan visiting your “Mecca” or coming to lay your hands on some luxury pieces. You can start shopping from the Salamanca District, aka the Golden Mile, where you can find Carolina Herrera, Liu Jo, Rabat, and some of the most luxurious brands and stores.
Seoul, South Korea
We’ll wrap our list with the capital of South Korea. Famous brands seem to love Cheongdam-dong Luxury Shopping Street, and there, you’ll find stores by MIU MIU, Louis Vuitton, and Salvatore Ferragamo. While Seoul’s population may have reduced by a couple hundred thousand in the last few years, that doesn’t affect its status as a luxury shopping destination.
