While the UAE's malls are starting to reopen, you may prefer to continue making your purchases from the comfort of your home. In response to the current situation, several luxury, fashion and homeware brands have launched new e-commerce sites and delivery services.
Here are 10 options that will now arrive straight to your door:
Hermes
The harbinger of all things luxury, Hermes has introduced a complimentary concierge service across the GCC, with free-of-charge delivery to your door. Customers can chat with their concierge via WhatsApp or on the phone, from Sunday to Thursday, and there is no minimum spend.

Loro Piana
To mark the advent of the holy month, Loro Piana launched the first phase of its regional e-commerce platform, exclusively for the UAE. Fans of the Italian fashion house can get all the same products offered in its Dubai Mall flagship store, including the brand’s first collection of Middle Eastern-style sandals, created specifically for the UAE market.
Same-day delivery is offered across the Emirates, with no additional charge. There are also a number of products only available online, including leather goods for women and a Ramadan Capsule Collection. Delivery, refunds and exchange are all free.
Mall of the Emirates
A new platform on the Mall of the Emirates website means consumers can continue to buy the latest arrivals from the mall’s fashion, beauty and luxury brands. You can see the latest collections on the Trends At Your Doorstep section of the site, which features the likes of Bulgari, Miu Miu, All Saints, Godiva, Ritual and Boutique 1. Your purchases will be delivered contactless and free of charge.
