Christmas is just around the corner, so why not get in the festive mood by doing a little window (aka. browser) shopping? No matter who you’re shopping for, you’ll find something from these five LUXE-approved shops featured in our city guides. The best part is, they all ship internationally – ‘tho you’d better act fast if you’d like Santa to deliver the goods in time. Ready, set, shop!
Istanbul: Misela
Meticulously constructed, covetable clutches and carry-alls by local bag lady Serra Türker. Her little boutique is stacked to its deco chandeliered rafters with brightly hued, boldly patterned sacs handcrafted from the highest quality leather, sea snakeskin and customisable suede lining. Totes adorable.

Los Angeles: Just One Eye
A tad off the beaten track, but this haute concept store in a landmark Howard Hughes office is where fashion meets fine art. Also the first port of call in LA for It bags and accessories.
