New York luxury with the sourcing on show

Why we featured it

Gabriela Hearst's store is restrained and editorial, with a navigation that goes deep into handbag families and materials without feeling crowded. Product pages go further than most luxury sites on provenance, explaining the fabric and the mill it came from, and the appointment booking brings the boutique service online.

Worth stealing

• Mega-menu that lets you shop handbags by family (Nina, Demi, Diana, Leonora, Marija) and by material such as nappa, suede and satin
• Product pages that explain each fabric and the mill behind it, such as an Italian cotton mill founded in 1838
• Book an Appointment form for the New York, London and Beverly Hills stores or a virtual stylist
• Waitlist sign-up on sold-out items by email or phone
• Size guide and pre-order handling on product pages
• Shipping-destination selector with local currency for a long list of countries
