Top 10 Most Luxurious Stores Around The World

While demand for online shopping rises, the need for in-store visits may not seem so necessary anymore. However, a quick in and out at your local fashion store will give you a more personalized experience. You can get help with sizing, excellent customer service, or cash in on in-store deals.

For the wealthy few, however, this experience is dialed up. And we mean way, way up. First, while a regular fashion store may rest in a local mall, luxury stores sit pretty in department stores or buildings of their own. Moreover, the architecture and interior design of these stores are crafted to keep up with the brand's design sensibilities and the client's exclusive leanings.

World over, luxury stores are pairing with designers to collaborate on creating a one-of-a-kind store. This is why there are fewer similarities in the buildings and stores of luxury brands around the world. However, always expect world-class service, personalized just for you. Scroll below to find out the top ten most luxurious stores around the world.
