The Savvy Shopper

Why Shop Luxury Online?

You might not associate luxury items with online shopping, but you should. In fact, just because something is considered ‘luxury’ these days, doesn’t mean you can’t shop luxury pieces for a great deal!

We’re here to tell you, you can have your cake (with diamonds and gold sparkles) and eat it too. Whether it’s that fabulous handbag, the latest fashion collection or that miracle beauty product, you can shop all your luxurious finds with Rakuten.ca. With over 150 luxury stores to shop from, we’re certain you’ll see something you love!

Here’s why we love shopping online for luxury goods.

1. It’s so much easier. Really, who doesn’t want the convenience of shopping from your own home, in your best lulu’s or PJs, with your favourite cuppa.

We recommend: Net-A-Porter, Frank and Oak

2. Search and compare online. Compare brands, styles, sizes, and more from the comfort of your tablet or smartphone.

We recommend: Links of London, Neiman Marcus

3. Window shopping is a thing online. Not that it has a name yet. Screen shopping? Let’s see if it takes.

We recommend: Town Shoes, Stuart Weitzman

4. You can find something for everyone online. Regardless of your budget, or what you consider luxury, you can find almost anything at varying price points these days.

We recommend: Saks Fifth Avenue, Indochino

5. Intimidation is a thing. Everyone remember that scene in Pretty Woman? Well, no intimidation required when shopping online.

We recommend: Ted Baker London, Jimmy Choo

6. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That’s right, shop in the wee hours of the morning, late at night when you can’t sleep. With a glass of wine or enjoying your favourite coffee. While you’re out for dinner, or secretly during boring meetings (shhh, it’s our little secret).

We recommend: Michael Kors, Lord & Taylor

7. Earn Cash Back. ‘Nuff said.

We recommend: Vince Camuto, Kate Spade
