With so many sprawling malls and lavish touches \u2013 it’s no surprise that shopping is one of Dubai’s main tourist attractions. Luckily, living here, we have all of that on our doorstep year-round. And one thing Dubai certainly knows is luxury. Here are some of the best places to save up and splurge all those hard-earned wages on something truly special.<\/p>\n

Boutique 1<\/h3>\n

Boutique 1<\/a> has steadily risen through the commercial landscape of Dubai into a shopping force to be reckoned with. They now boast branches in JBR The Walk, Mall of the Emirates and Abu Dhabi (for those who fancy a weekend trip) for savvy designer hounds to take advantage of. With their light, white interiors, clever window displays, cool contemporary brands \u2013 think Alexander Wang, Victoria Beckham and Proenza Schouler \u2013 this is the place to send the girl who has everything yet wants something more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Harvey Nichols-Dubai<\/h3>\n

Harvey Nichols-Dubai<\/a> is not only one of the slickest department stores in town, they have a killer seasonal buy, to boot. With names such as Erdem, Peter Pilotto and Moschino all sharing the floor, their contemporary designer offer is one of the best in the Emirate. If that wasn’t enough to persuade you to become a loyal customer, they also regularly host incredible in-store events, such as the relatively recent Swarovski pop-up exhibition which featured Michael Jackson’s actual glove. It is the ideal place to lose yourself (and your friends) on any given weekend.<\/p>\n

Etoile La Boutique<\/h3>\n

Founded in 2005 by Ingie Chaloub \u2013 one of the Emirate’s premiere taste-makers \u2013 Etoile La Boutique<\/a> plays host to some of the most bold and beautiful creations we’ve ever come across. Both surprising and inventive \u2013 their stock is definitely on the more glamorous end of the spectrum \u2013 but when you live in such a red carpet-ready city as Dubai, that’s a welcome concept. With brands such as Alaia, Christian Dior and Christopher Kane \u2013 every type of luxury taste is superbly catered for. Just make sure you bring the right credit card with you.<\/p>\n

By Symphony<\/h3>\n

Another home-grown luxury concept, By Symphony<\/a> was launched by the ever-elegant Salama Alabba in 2010. With a prime location on The Dubai Mall’s Fashion Avenue, the boutique offers an extensive, but expertly curated, selection of designers such as Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, Valentino and Simone Rocha as well as regionally revered (and internationally successful) brands such as Noon by Noor. With its custom interiors, knowledgable staff and beautiful displays, By Symphony is the kind of shop that makes you feel more elegant just by being in it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Level Shoe District<\/h3>\n

Shoe addicts, rejoice! The Dubai Mall plays host to the largest ever (of course) department store dedicated just to footwear. That’s right,\u00a0Level Shoe District<\/a> is just that, a suburb-sized haven of stilettos, designer sneakers and sparking sandals. With almost every desirable brand under the sun, they regularly sell out of names like Saint Laurent, Aquazzura and Gucci \u2013 so make sure you hot-foot it down there in good time if there’s something special you have your eye on. Alternatively, you could easily spend five hours just gazing as the beautiful displays they construct each season to showcase their fancy wares.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
