The luxury designer brands you never knew you could shop at Amazon

Amazon is a website familiar to most people who have ever been on the internet. 

It’s the destination to point your mouse towards to shop for obscure kitchen tools, genius storage solutions and emergency batteries when your TV’s remote eventually gives up the ghost. 

The global retailer has built its rep on competitive pricing by offering irresistible deals, especially when it throws a big sale. The reduced RRPs are enough to forgive the often questionable brand names that look as though a chimp has gone a couple of rounds with a keyboard. 

But there is another, smarter pocket of the website that boasts far chicer wares: Amazon Luxury Stores

Think of it as the Bond Street of Amazon, with digital shopfronts of all the biggest names in high-end fashion.

All the lottery-win favourites are here, from fine jewellery brand Annoushka and Italian heavyweights - Gucci, Prada, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana - to cult beauty favourites from the likes of Dr. Barbara Sturm, Monpure and vVardis.

Then there’s hewi, which stands for Hardly Ever Worn It, the pre-loved retailer powers Amazon’s offering of covetable fashion and accessories for a reduced RRP. It’s a good option to browse if brand new is slightly out of reach, or you’re trying to be more sustainable with wardrobe purchases. 

Most pieces come with Prime delivery for members, with an elevated, refined website design to reflect the luxe line-up.

If you’ve never turned into this little-known corner of Amazon before, it can feel like stumbling across Diagon Alley. Where to run to first?

To help, we’ve spotlighted some of the nicest pieces on Amazon’s Luxury Stores section. 

Daydream, bookmark, or boldly add to basket; the choice is yours.

A Birkin to swoon over, this iconic leather bag is the exact shade of Maldivian waters. It's finished with silver hardware and comes complete with a dust bag and in Hermès famous orange and black boxes.

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly how much a new Birkin would cost, as Hermès only release an allotted number at a time, but you can expect to pay in the region of £30k - making this a snip in comparison.
