Neiman Marcus
Since 1907, the Dallas, Texas (United States)-based luxury department store has offered elegant, beautifully designed clothing, shoes, and accessories for men, women, children, and the home. The store was almost instantly successful because they filled a niche- high-end fashions in oil-rich, but fashion-weak, Texas.
Throughout the 20th century, the store grew from a single location in Dallas to nearly 40 retail locations in the United States. Early on, they earned a reputation for stocking only the finest clothing, accessories, and housewares. Leter, Neiman Marcus garnered significant press for their famed Christmas catalogs. Unlike other retailers who’d recommend sensible gifts like scarves or gloves, the Neiman Marcus catalog featured extravagant items like a $20 million submarine, a $35 million Boeing business jet, and even a mummy case with a real mummy inside!
Today, Neiman Marcus operates not only the eponymous store, but also Bergdorf Goodman and high-end home retailer Horchow. They also have a controlling interest in Kate Spade, Liz Claiborne, cosmetics brand Laura Mercier, and German luxury retailer MyTheresa.
Neiman Marcus ships to 192 Countries & Territories
Bergdorf Goodman
Bergdorf Goodman is one of the most iconic department stores both in New York City and the world. The brand- which was founded in 1899- has been a fixture of high-end, Fifth Avenue shopping for over 100 years.
Although there were other premium clothing designers in New York around 1915, Bergdorf Goodman carved its own niche. They were the first brand to offer “ready to wear” collections. This differentiation quickly made the department store a must-visit location for both American and French fashionistas.
Over 100 years after the founding of Bergdorf Goodman, in 2002, the flagship store underwent a massive renovation. The newly renovated stored now features in-store boutiques for brands like Gucci, Versace, Giorgio Armani, Chanel, and Yves Saint Laurent.
Unlike other luxury fashion retailers and department stores, the only physical location of Bergdorf Goodman is their adjacent locations on Fifth Avenue (between 57th and 58th streets) in Manhattan. However, shoppers the world over can still shop the luxury collections of Bergdorf Goodman online, as Bergdorf Goodman ships to 192 countries and territories.

Since 1831, Harvey Nichols has been a British institution. They sell everything from men’s and women’s fashion and accessories, to cosmetics and fragrances, and even premium food and wine.

Alexander McQueen
For edgy, luxurious coats, tops, leather, dresses, skirts, shoes, and accessories, fashionistas flock to Alexander McQueen. Ever since the British luxury brand’s 1992 founding, those “in the know” have coveted his designs. For instance, despite their obvious lack of practicality, the famed “Armadillo shoe” remains one of the brands’ most iconic.
Alexander McQueen offers a complete collection of designer fashions. Shoppers can coordinate their heels or sneakers with high end handbags, accessories, and clothing. The ready-to-wear line includes everything from denim and t-shirts to leather and trousers. Men and women can even shop jewelry items like bracelets, necklaces, rings, charms, and pins.
While we love so much about the brand overall, one of our favorite things about Alexander McQueen is their generous shipping policy. Unlike other companies who require a minimum purchase amount to qualify for free shipping, Alexander McQueen offers free shipping on all purchases. And it’s expedited. And it’s global.
That’s right: free, expedited international shipping! 🎉

But if you live in a country that Alexander McQueen doesn’t ship to, don’t worry- you can still get Alexander McQueen. We recommend shoppers buy through a luxury department store that carries Alexander McQueen and ships to you. We like premium retailers like Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, or Harvey Nichols. Each store ships to almost every country in the world and carries Alexander McQueen.
