These vacation destinations were made with retail therapy in mind
If your heart starts palpitating at the mere sight of ‘sale’ sign, or if you’ve been known to elbow another shopper out of the way – if she’s getting between you and the boots you covet – or if you plan all of your vacations with retail therapy built in, this list is for you. We’ve rounded up the 10 best cities in the world for your next shopping excursion – and whether you’re in the market for high fashion, fancy baubles, or even an unusual pet, we’ve got a destination for you. So pay off some credit card debt and hit the road – but don’t blame us when the bills come in.
