The Best Luxury Fashion Websites That Ship to the UAE

The best luxury fashion websites that ship to the UAE are Ounass, the Dubai-based site of the Al Tayer Group; Net-a-Porter, Mytheresa and Farfetch, the big international names; Level Shoes for designer footwear; and Coveti, which was founded in Dubai and is the place to find independent designers the larger sites do not carry. Which one is right depends on the label you want and how you prefer to pay duties.

Every site below delivers to the UAE. Where they differ is in what each one stocks, where it ships from and how it handles import duty and VAT.

Luxury fashion websites that ship to the UAE, compared

1. Ounass

Ounass is the online luxury store of the Al Tayer Group, the Dubai retailer behind many of the city’s designer boutiques. Because it stocks from inside the region, it suits anyone who wants the biggest houses delivered locally with prices in dirhams.

2. Net-a-Porter

Net-a-Porter is the London site that set the template for luxury fashion online. It carries a wide range of major designers, ships to the UAE and runs an Arabic-language version of the site. Since 2025 it has been owned by the same group as Mytheresa.

3. Mytheresa

Mytheresa began as a boutique in Munich and is now one of the largest luxury fashion websites in Europe. Its womenswear edit leans towards the big European houses, and it delivers to the UAE.

4. Farfetch

Farfetch is a marketplace: it lists stock from independent boutiques and brand stores across many countries, which makes it useful for a specific sold-out size. Because pieces ship from different partners, delivery times and duty handling vary from one order to the next, so read the checkout summary closely.

5. Level Shoes

Level Shoes is the designer footwear specialist in The Dubai Mall, and its website covers the same mix of luxury shoes. For heels, trainers and boots from the big names, it is the focused choice.

6. Coveti

Coveti was founded in Dubai in 2018 and is now headquartered in London, with a hub in Dubai. It stocks more than 190 independent and emerging luxury designers rather than a short list of logo houses: Australian occasion labels such as Zimmermann, Aje and Leo Lin, Lebanese couture from Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad, the Arab designers edit and a modest dressing collection. Orders travel by DHL Express and FedEx International Priority, insured and signed for, and prices are shown in US dollars.

What to check before you order from the UAE

• Who pays the duties. Some sites include duties and VAT in the price you see, while others ship Delivered Duty Unpaid, which means the courier collects them before handing over the parcel. Coveti ships to the UAE on a Delivered Duty Unpaid basis; its delivery FAQ explains how that works.
• The currency. A price in dirhams avoids a card conversion fee. A price in any other currency is converted by your bank, which may add a fee.
• Where it ships from. Stock held in the region usually arrives fastest. An order coming from further away travels by express courier instead.
• The returns window. Return windows differ from one site to the next and, on marketplaces, from one seller to the next. Check the policy on the product page before you buy.
