You’ve flirted with the big players like Net-A-Porter. You’ve scored a Céline bag at 80% off thanks to MyNetSale, and you know The Iconic like the back of your hand.
In fact your bookmarks bar’s probably more chaotic than ASOS’ sale section. But sometimes you’ve gotta embrace getting lost – not in discounted neon tank tops but in eclectic Italian boutiques, postmodern Antwerpen shoe stores or the accessories stand in Brooklyn’s Amarcord Vintage.
Enter Farfetch, the digital generation lovechild of a shopaholic and a wanderlust. Imagine the gratification of zooming in on farflung streets on Streetview, then add one awesome bonus – you can go inside the stores, browse the racks of cult brands, couture and curiosities, and snap up whatever tickles your fancy. No excess baggage, no fumbling around with foreign currencies.
Farfetch has 258 independent boutiques and counting housed in one sleek slice of real estate, and you’ll find everything from Saint Laurent and Mary Katrantzou to offbeat nail wraps and… style tips from ill-fated porn star Linda Lovelace? Don’t skip the ‘People’ section.
Stepping off the main drag has never been so fruitful.
