Heading overseas? Stop by DFS Galleria in the city up to a month before leaving and stock up on your luxe goods! From brands like Tiffany, Versace, Ferragamo, Coach, Tumi, Dior, Elizabeth Arden, Burberry you get the drift. It’s 3 whole floors of retail shopping at duty free prices! Hate it when the queues at the airport take forever and leave virtually no time for shopping? Or worse, hearing your name announced in the terminal with a sinking feeling you’re going to miss your flight because the TRS booth line has not budged! With DFS in the city, you can shop at leisure, come back the next day if you’re not sure and browse around all different brands for the perfect handbag before making a purchase. Once you’ve ordered and paid for the item, you can collect it from the DFS counter at the airport on the day of travel. No need to claim refund as it’s already tax-free, very convenient! Remember to bring along your ticket. Not travelling? No worries, you can still shop there, only catch is you will be paying retail.

DFS Galleria is one duty free department store that delivers the goods — and not just any other type of goods, mind you — but luxury retail goods. If you’re a fashion aficionado with the hots for the all the latest around then this is one must-stop shop. Their extensive variety of goods will sweep you off your feet due to the sheer number of choices. The fragrance collection is quite good, although they mainly sell LVMH products because DFS is wholly owned by LVMH. The staff are also accommodating with the right know-how to guide you through the right purchase that fits you exactly how you want it to. With heaps of designer boutique store-in-stores, DFS Galleria gives you a shopping experience like no other. As this is a duty free store, the vast majority of the boutiques require you to have a travel itinerary or flight confirmation.
