Designer Shopping in Dubai

With hotel butlers tending to every whim, one of the most common requests from VIP guests is for shopping excursions. The Dubai Mall is one of the UAE’s most popular designer shopping destinations and personal shopper Nicole Majdalany took us on a tour.

“I hunt down hard-to-find pieces and save my clients a lot of time,” explains Vika, one of our locals in Dubai as she shows us the latest collection at Alexander McQueen. “Here at McQueen, you can arrange to have your shopping delivered to your hotel, or the team can bring collections to your suite to look through. They’ll even send a tailor.”

Nicole sights Dubai as her favourite city for shopping not only for the exemplary service, but also for the safety it affords high-end consumers. “You can wear whatever you want without fear of being targeted by undesirables – the security here is among the best in the world.”

Dubai Mall is also home to one of the world’s most impressive footwear emporiums,

Level Shoes, where customers can shop brands from Chanel to Dior, visit a foot spa and have purchases personalised with same-day laser-cutting services.
