Many people enjoy this type of therapy like shopping. The stores on this list are a real paradise for “shoppers” because they offer everything that a buyer could want.

We suggest you go shopping and get to know the most ideal places where you can empty your wallets and cards.

Loewe is a store that specializes in the sale of branded leather goods that comply with environmental and social standards. The lively and cosmopolitan capital of Catalonia is famous for the Art Nouveau architectural masterpieces of architect Luis Domènech i Montaner in Plaza Gràcia, which houses shops. The building, which formerly housed the Official Supplier of the Spanish Crown, today belongs to the National Heritage of Spain and at the same time is the most prestigious building in the country. Of course, the most prestigious fashion store is located here.

Since the time the Louis Vuitton fashion house was created in Paris, and this happened in 1854, this name has not left the lips of fashionistas, empresses, researchers and editors of glossy magazines. What was once a small shop selling travel bags is now the crown jewel on the head of Bernard Arnault, the majority owner of the French company LVMH. But the Maison, as it is called in Paris, is not just a repository for exclusive LV bags, jewelry and ready-to-wear clothing, but also a museum, a podium for showcasing the products of the world's most famous designers.

Oscar de la Renta is located on Madison Avenue in New York and is the most expensive fashion store, along with the House of Bijan. The store occupies an area of 609 sq.m. Its walls are made of coral stone imported from the Dominican Republic, plaster palm trees are placed throughout the hall, and shoe displays are arranged as if on a catwalk.

It is quite possible that someday the most expensive designers will decide to take up interior design and repeat

Imagine, scientists from California conducted an experiment: a certain group of people were offered to drink wine, having falsely informed them in advance about the high cost of the drink. All participants in the experiment appreciated the “special” taste of the wine. Moreover, the participants had an MRI of their brains, which showed that people felt happier and had more pleasure when they knew they were tasting expensive wine.
Psychologists note that most people, when perceiving the cost of goods, associate the price and value of the product - expensive things are of higher quality, expensive washing powder is safer, expensive furniture will last longer. The theme of health and safety benefits can be seen in the slow, but still growing sales of organic food stores: we are what we eat and the like... Only fresh, selected, high-quality products are the criteria by which people choose an expensive supermarket.
The most expensive grocery stores in Moscow

The history of premium supermarkets in Russia began in the early 2000s. The most expensive grocery stores in Moscow are represented under certain brands that have become synonymous with the quality and safety of products. Elite grocery stores work only with proven and reliable suppliers; their assortment includes various delicacies, exotic fruits, rare and selected products, and top-quality alcohol. Even ready-made food in expensive supermarkets is often not inferior to restaurant dishes. If you choose luxury grocery stores as a shopping platform, be prepared for the fact that the average check in them is significantly higher than the check in any standard supermarket.
Azbuka Vkusa - a chain of stores operates under this brand in Moscow. Buyers note the high level of service, only fresh products, a large selection of alcohol, and the presence of their own kitchen.
Scarlet Sails is a chain of supermarkets in Moscow with a carefully selected range of products. Additionally, supermarkets offer their own brand products. By the way, the Scarlet Sails company is an operator with an interesting history in the center of Moscow.
Globus Gourmet is a gourmet store, nothing less. Cooking like in a restaurant, original and exclusive products, freshness and high quality of goods - any whim, as they say.
Bakhetle - supermarkets, originally from Kazan. Previously, when I was in Kazan, on the way to the airport I always stopped at the Kazan “Bakhetle” to buy something for home with a Tatar flavor. There are now several stores under this brand in Moscow. The emphasis in supermarkets is on products and dishes of national cuisine, halal and.
Magnolia - the prices in these stores are high, but the products and service are standard, like everywhere else, and the interior is completely inadequate. Apparently, the location of the stores allowed them to be included in the list of elite stores: almost all of them are located in the center of the capital.
Some Moscow markets compete with expensive supermarkets in all respects, for example:.
Let's return to discussing the reasons why the most expensive stores in Moscow are thriving.
Among the products of expensive brands, there are many for which demand continues to grow along with the price; Buyers value prestige and exclusivity in these products.
A phone for 90 thousand rubles is quite inexpensive if your income is 400-500 thousand rubles per month. However, remember all your friends who own an ultra-modern gadget.
I don't think they all have high incomes. And they bought the phone either on credit (which often happens) or they didn’t eat or drink for several months, but they received an expensive toy that gives status and pleasure. The result is an increase in sales of expensive gadgets.
Are there no people around you who live in a small apartment and drive a super expensive car? That's why luxury car dealerships are not closing.
And have you also heard that Arab countries and Russia are leaders in the consumption of expensive, “niche” perfumes? Oh, this is my sore subject. No, I’m not at all a fan of such complex scents, but in offices now these smells just “hang” in the air, which is why I suffer. But perfume stores are not suffering - their sales of expensive perfume are growing.
Friends, I travel around the country a lot, and this situation in the regions is no less developed than in the capital. I don’t have Manolo Blahnik shoes (the same ones that Sarah Jessica Parker’s character loved so much), but a close friend of mine from a small town does. She ordered them from America and took three months to pay. I note that these shoes are almost all that my friend has.
Do photos on Odnoklassniki or Instagram with an expensive car in the background tell you something?
The stereotyped thinking that has developed in us affects us. People often buy expensive goods and set their priorities differently. As an example: there are always those who buy groceries in the cheapest discount stores, but have the latest car model.
Another aspect of “exchanging money for pleasure” is related to how exactly you spent the money. That is, when buying goods in expensive stores, you receive personalized service.
Expensive stores give you the opportunity to feel like a “special”, important buyer, and the store staff does everything to ensure that you really buy what you need/beneficial/interesting.
As a result, you are happy to use the purchased item because it suits you/fits you well/works reliably/raises your self-esteem. Without going to extremes and from my own experience, I agree that many expensive things are more pleasing, and also last better and longer. Don’t forget that boutiques also host: seasonal, past collections. And this is a serious chance to buy a really cool thing.
Today, the staff of “expensive” stores undergo a lot of training in order to gain clients from everyone entering the salon. It is strictly forbidden to meet a client based on his clothes. A store consultant can easily be fined for inattention or a sharp response to a potential buyer.
The most expensive clothing store in Moscow

Sometimes, while walking around the center, I go into clothing stores and realize that almost all of them are not cheap. Take, for example, fashion boutiques in Moscow, on Stoleshnikov Lane: everything is cool, and so are the prices. The staff is extremely polite and attentive to every customer. Although, sometimes you still feel the glancing, appraising glances.
The famous TSUM and are shopping centers where the most expensive clothing stores in Moscow are concentrated. The names of many boutiques are the names of fashion houses or the names of famous designers. The interiors and showcases of TSUM and GUM have become the calling cards of the capital.
Don’t forget that there is a grocery supermarket “Gastronom N1” in GUM, which according to its design (style, clothing of the staff) takes us to Moscow at the beginning of the second half of the twentieth century, and in fact, is designed for today’s discerning consumer.
And in conclusion, I note that the pursuit of expensive “status” things often ends when a person reaches a certain age. Apparently, there is a reassessment of values and priorities changing.
And one more thing - the more stable and economically developed a society is, the less we can see eloquent signs of luxury in the clothes, accessories and household items of its inhabitants. As an example, Western European countries: people on the street are dressed simply and neutrally, there are no flashy gadgets, and if there are, then this is because they were so accustomed to it from the very beginning, although there are plenty of budget cars on the roads of Europe.
And just in conclusion: according to the survey, the most popular desire of Western European residents for a “hypothetical” goldfish is a long life and eternal youth; the popular desires of our compatriots were a big house and a beautiful car.
Isn't happiness in sausage?
And not in perfume?
And not in a Mercedes?
Friends, happiness definitely doesn’t come from money. However, without them it’s bad.
Happy is not the one who has a lot, but the one who has enough. And the rich cry too, but that’s not what we’re talking about,
I am for beautiful shoes, modern cars and
But this is definitely not an end in itself.
If there is or will be an opportunity, I will buy it; if not, I will not buy it.
I will be happy in both cases.
, there was a whole episode about wine in the science program Discovery. There, the experts were given cheap wine in expensive packaging and they were wrong when describing the most wonderful qualities of the drink. Imagine a sommelier with many years of experience and suddenly such a failure.
The coolest thing is an iPhone on credit and a ride in a crowded minibus with it.
The ability to go to expensive stores is usually status. And this is not the same as buying an expensive thing. You can order an expensive phone online. And the fact that you have to ride with him in a minibus seems stupid to some, but if a person gets pleasure from digging through his phone? Or with a handbag from this brand - has a woman dreamed of it for a long time? Or was it this scent of expensive perfume that you always wanted? In general, this is another debate - why is an iPhone better than a push-button handset?
And you go into a high-status store - all the attention is on you, the salesman licks you, you spend two hours poking around in terribly expensive clothes, and this one is somehow not right, and that one is somehow not like that... You leave the salon with a cardboard bag with a logo - that’s all around ah ah - this lady/gentleman can afford to buy such things in such a store!

And a dozen will come up at once, and quickly, quickly, you grab them so that no one intercepts
