Farfetch
When it comes to designer labels, Macau undoubtedly has plenty to offer. But, what many do not realize is that the prices of designer products here are relatively more expensive than in Europe or the US, and they do not have the latest collections available. This is where Farfetch comes in.
As the term itself suggests, Farfetch is linked to multiple retailers globally giving customers the opportunity to shop the latest designer collections around the world without leaving the comfort of their homes. You may be in Macau but you can be shopping in a mall in Poland via the Farfetch mobile app. And the best thing about it is that if you are shopping from Farfetch affiliates from Europe or the UK, chances are you do not have to pay tax. Just like when you shop while traveling and refund your tax at the airport! So… what are you waiting for?
