Trusted lifestyle brands that can be found for a bargain online
We love online shopping as much as the next person in Singapore. Without the rental markup of space-limited Singapore, it's much easier to find a bargain than ever before. Online shopping also allows us access to get anything from around the world, from our favourite brands to obscure products only found in certain countries. Of course, it comes with the pitfall of falling victim to potential scams or counterfeit products, so it's important to only shop from trusted sources.
Take for example this Aesop Control Serum, something which I've used successfully to control the emergence of new adult acne after combating my maskne. It's retailing for S$30 on Aesop Singapore, ~S$17 when I bought it in Perth this year, and as I found out recently, $25.50 on LookFantastic.
I'm sure savvier shoppers than me have been sussing out great bargains like this since the advent of e-commerce. So, we're just going to do a quick roundup of brands we found cheaper on these particular sites in Singapore, plus more articles and shopping inspirations!
Shop IT bags and shoes on Charles & Keith
Charles & Keith is a home-grown brand that has achieved global prominence, and most recently announced Korean girl band ITZY as their global brand ambassador. Compared to people overseas, we're actually getting their products at a bargain, being the brand's home country!
Charles and Keith is THE brand to watch for:

Shop luxury brands on Net-A-Porter
Most of us who covet at least one luxury bag would have heard of Net-A-Porter. More than 800 of the world’s most coveted designer brands, including Gucci, Chloé, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent, Loewe, and Stella McCartney, plus 200 specialist beauty brands work directly with the site, pushing out new arrivals on-site three times a week.
Oftentimes, you may find the cost of the bag cheaper than getting it from the boutiques after conversion; plus, you might be able to get colourways not widely available in Singapore.
