Eurso Euro: 8 Brands and Boutiques to Shop Online

Style Lists

From Tokyo to Topeka, you can find guys and gals in identical Adidas sneakers, Levi cut-offs and H&M tees. The Western value of “individuality” is continuously undermined by these seasonal trends and popular culture fads. In a world of fast fashion, celebrity endorsements and mass production, finding unique products can be incredibly challenging and time-consuming. Because of this, one of the most delightful aspects of traveling is perusing local shops and concept stores in hopes of finding one-of-a-kind trinkets and treasures. From stumbling upon an up-and-coming Peruvian designer´s clothing line to spotting an unknown shoe label in a Swiss Alps´ window, the discovery of new brands and boutiques evokes an unequivocal sense of triumph.

But in the height of the internet age, you don´t need a 1,500€ plane ticket to find international clothiers and emerging fashion houses—many independent retailers now sell their products online. Because it´s difficult to pinpoint small stores and young designers abroad, we´ve done the research for you and selected eight brands or boutiques of note. With the click of a finger, you can captivate the cool, innovative style of Europe… maybe globalization isn´t that bad for the fashionable after all.
