Haha - went into an IKEA for the first time in about 20 years and couldn’t get out fast enough! I told my husband to just slap me if I ever suggest that field trip again!
Anyway, you are fortunate to live in a place where you are able to shop in person on occasion. When I first moved here, Salt Lake City, Utah, I would have my mom send me things from Saks (/this was pre- internet 🙃 ).
Now there is a Nordstrom here but mostly lower tier merchandise they think will sell to this clientele ( which isn’t me!). When I do travel, I like you, have to touch everything!
I totally get what you mean! I used to live in Maryland where there wasn’t really anything but malls and I’d feel too intimidated to go into designer shops in DC. Thrift and consignment stores were my happy medium, which is something I actually miss very much in New York because it’s so expensive and the range can be quite limited
The in-person experience cannot be replicated online, and trying things on and touching fabrics is one of the most important aspects of acquiring new (or new-to-me) clothes. Loved this article. 💕
in person shopping is one of the most fun things about travelling I think! Really liked this write up.
It’s like visiting a whole new place within a new place!

At least there ARE good thrift and consignment shops🙃
