These days you can find quality high fashion items virtually everywhere. Department stores are usually connected with low price items, usually shopped in bigger quantities, therefore lower price.

House of Fraser is one of the department stores with the richest history. It marked its humble beginning back in 1849 when it was a just a drapery store located in Glasgow.

Harrods is another one of those bespoke names when it comes to business. The company runs numerous businesses from retail stores, jewelries and many more. The iconic Harrods estate, located in London has become a major site in the city with millions of visitors every year.
