Longchamp

I've never been to Longchamp .

The last on the list of the twelve coolest stores, Longchamp is eyecandy for the weary shopper. Located in New York, this 100th store in the famous chain has its own nickname-"La Maison Unique". Heatherwick Studios, based in London and noted for its offbeat work, is the genius behind the seemingly flowing steel ribbon. It seems as if the steel flows over the walls, over the stairs and right out the front windows and onto the sidewalk.

Dover Street Market

I've never been to Dover Street Market .

This is not your everyday British market. Inside you will find controlled chaos. The display racks include dresser drawers haphazardly stacked, with shirts folded inside. You will find accessories displayed in a manner resembling a frenzied shop-a-thon. There is a metal shed housing t-shirts. The dressing rooms may be the highlight of the shopping here. For example, one room is designed as a bird cage, enclosed with red velvet curtains. The men's dressing room is a repurposed Port-a-Potty, painted black.

Apartment

I've never been to Apartment .

This uber-hip boutique can be visited in Berlin. At street level, it may look as if you have stumbled upon a deserted office building. Inside you will find fluorescent lights and linoleum floors. If you look closely, you will see the projection playing from the cellar showing you where the real action is. Upon entering, take the stairwell in the back of the building to the crypt below packed with clothes, some even displayed on a large wooden table. You will find designers such as Rick Owens, Raf Simons and Undercover sold here.

Loveless

I've never been to Loveless .

This is the gotta see shopping experience in Tokyo. This boutique boasts a dual personality. When you enter Loveless you will see the Brilliant Side which is light and playful. This Brilliant Side occupies the ground and upper floors. You will find large mirrors and chandeliers festooned with glass fruit. As you progress toward the stairs and the Dark Side, you will enter a stairwell, tunnel and basement. This resembles a catacomb dripping with a rusty substance. This cryptic floor is decorated with candelabras and is painted with a slick ebony paint.
