hi everyone its Justine let's talk about online shopping and where to find good
quality fashion because I get the question extremely often and I do shop
mainly online myself so I will share my favorite websites with you know that
they all focus all of them on quality clothing no fast fashion in here not in
this video they're all extremely reliable in terms
of communication and delivery time and they all have a good broad mix of
different brands also if you're watching this video on its publication date or
not too long after we're in the middle of summer sale season so I will put
useful shopping links for you down below in the description
Net-À-Porter: I'm starting with one of my all-time favorites and this is one of
the oldest multi brand fashion websites out there they exist since 2000 so
that's even before Facebook can you imagine when they started out people
said you're crazy this is never gonna work
who would buy clothes online and now they're like huge huge player they
deserve to be on this list and they're one of my favorites because they have
achieved something that not many have achieved they have almost all major
brands including Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Fendi, Margiela brands that are extremely
exclusive they have their own stores and that never really wanted to be sold next
to other brands and yet Net-À-Porter did it they got them eventually they have an
excellent "what to wear" section where you can browse garments for a special event
vacation workwear etc by topic by occasion I find the assortment in
they're both well curated and inspiring it might even give you ideas for your
own wardrobe as well a great addition in my opinion is the section called "net
sustain" it's featuring brands that are focusing on ethics and sustainability I
will put a link to that section in the description because as you would guess
I'm very much in favor of promoting ethics in fashion. My Theresa. MyTheresa
actually started as a physical shop boutique in Munich in the south of
Germany eventually they decided to start an online shop to match the physical
store you could say they've been pretty successful at it
because now MyTeresa is a major luxury fashion retailer worldwide they are
especially famous for having designers create clothing and accessories that are
sold exclusively on this website so if you like limited editions or you don't want
to wear the same as other people this is a great address to look at they have
hundreds of new arrivals every week so virtually every time you'll check
you'll see new things and in their designer list you can quickly spot new
people and have a look at what they make may I add that the shipping is
absolutely flawless you'll get your order delivered a super premium yellow
box which is a signature yellow box from MyTheresa you'll see the color
everywhere on the website as well and it feels like Christmas
MyTeresa has been focusing so far on womenswear but earlier this year
they announced that they were going to expand into menswear so gentlemen stay
tuned! Shopbop. Shopbop is another big one I feel like their assortment is a bit
smaller than Net-À-Porter or MyTheresa but the brands they list are a bit more
varied it's not only at a designer price point they're also contemporary price
point labels like Zadig & Voltaire Reformation or Superga among others they
offer free international shipping completely free worldwide and the
logistics is impeccable because guess what? they now belong to Amazon.
Farfetch. Farfetch d is clearly positioned on both men's and women's
wear they have an extremely broad assortment if you ask me
maybe a bit less on the high-end side but so many more on the lifestyle side
lifestyle brands like J Brand, Lacoste, Tod's etc etc. it's it's really a huge
assortment but at the same time they carry Manolo Blahnik and Dolce & Gabbana
so really it's a mix I'd say it's a very well curated balanced mix at many
different price points that you can pick from. you know what? at this point I feel
like inserting a tiny disclaimer into the video: I am NOT saying that I have
tested or support all of the brands that are sold on the websites I'm talking
about. it's still up to you to and do your due diligence, to research and
define which of these brands match your ethics and values. saying this just in
case ok now let's go back to the video ;-) an interesting thing about Farfetch is
their "pre-owned" section where you'll even find some Chanel and some Hermès
pieces these are brands that Farfetch would
not care in new because no one but Chanel and Hermès does,
they don't sell on multi brand websites. yet you will find them secondhand on Farfetch.
the way it works is that you sell your used items to Farfetch if it's a brand
that they take in exchange for credit points that you can then use to shop on
the website very smart. they also have a huge jewelry assortment from affordable
to very high-end. I think it's the biggest jewelry assortment online that
I've seen so far. The Outnet. this one is special because they focus only on
previous season fashion. you know I'm not a fan of running after trends season
after season at any rate, I'd rather look for garments that fit my style, my
body and that go with what is already in my wardrobe. so I think that shopping
from previous seasons is a very clever way of doing it. they list 350 designers
and they feature different ones every week which is a great way of discovering
new brands as well. you will find Balmain, Calvin Klein, Chloe... things like that on
that website, and often at a discount of 50% or even more. if you're a bargain
hunter I guess you could go straight to that website.
Moda Operandi. Moda Operandi is more on the luxury high fashion designer side. It
was founded by a Vogue editor who knows all the designers. it curates famous
brands as well as not-so-famous-yet but extremely promising brands it's
interesting if you like to discover and invest in in high potential new little
labels. their specialty is to do trunk shows, so right after Fashion Week, after
the runway show, you can place an order (a pre-order) for a piece from that
collection it's 4-6 months before the actual availability date.
you pay a deposit now and the rest when the item (in six month) gets delivered to
you. so that gets you fashion straight off the runway as soon
as it's humanly possible to get the piece. in the list of designers you can
even sort by "available now" versus really "pre-order". this one is for the
professional fashionistas, you got the idea. okay now I have two more tips for
you if you think "I'd like to spend less but I still want the very high quality"
Vestiaire Collective. This is a secondhand shop for famous brands and really this
time all of them are there: it's a wonderful place for accessories and
especially handbags. Chanel Céline Saint Laurent Hermes Vuitton Gucci...everyone.
let's assume you want to sell a Céline handbag: before I can buy it from you, you
have to send it to Vestiaire Collective. they will authenticate it, make sure it's
not a fake, and then they will ship it to me. because fakes exists and it's
extremely annoying, having a quality control process like this is it's super
important in my opinion: you know that you're buying the real thing. if you
enjoy vintage quality shopping, this is my personal favorite. The Real Real.
Vestiaire Collective is French by the way while The Real Real is American but the concept is
similar and both websites will review the items for authenticity. here you will
find more items from American brands (logically) like Coach, Michael Kors, Kate
Spade, Helmut Lang, and others labels that may be less famous, less in the spotlight
right now, but good brands to check out. they also have a first-look membership
so for $10 a month you get to see newly listed items 24 hours before the rest of
the world. and since it's vintage or secondhand shopping, usually the
inventory is one so this is a major advantage! thumbs up if you found this
video useful, interesting, thank you very much!
do have a look in the description box below because I will put direct links to
sections, brands and sales that I find interesting, for each of these websites
mentioned in the video. and since we're talking about online shopping I have a
previous video on the common mistake that can happen when you're shopping
online and how to avoid them: I will link this video here
the corner and down below as well. if you're new to this channel: welcome don't
forget to subscribe. I will see all of you soon in anew one. take care, bye!
