Looking to invest in your next luxury fashion piece without overpaying locally? Whether it’s a new-season bag, designer sneakers, or runway-exclusive outerwear, shopping from international luxury platforms like Mytheresa and Farfetch can give Singaporean fashion lovers access to better prices, broader selection, and limited-edition drops — often before they reach local stores.
This guide covers everything you need to know about buying from Mytheresa, Farfetch, and other luxury fashion sites, and how to ship these items safely and affordably to Singapore using Buy&Ship.
👗 Why Buy Luxury Fashion from Overseas?
- 💰 Lower prices from UK or Italy-based platforms due to VAT exclusions or EUR/GBP currency advantages
- 👜 Exclusive models and sizing not available in Singapore
- 🛋️ Broader access to pre-orders, designer launches, and limited drops
- 🚚 Combine and consolidate purchases to save on international shipping
Platforms like Farfetch and MatchesFashion regularly run regional sales and early access promotions that are often unavailable to Southeast Asian buyers.

❓If These Sites Ship to Singapore, Why Use Buy&Ship?
Even though many luxury platforms like Farfetch, SSENSE, and Mytheresa offer direct shipping to Singapore, using Buy&Ship still offers significant advantages:
- ✅ Lower overall cost: International shipping fees on luxury sites can range from S$25 to S$60+ per order. Buy&Ship offers weight-based pricing that’s often much cheaper.
- ✅ Free consolidation: Combine orders from multiple platforms (Farfetch UK + MatchesFashion + SSENSE US) into one shipment — something direct shipping can’t offer.
- ✅ Control and flexibility: Choose your own shipping schedule, add insurance, and avoid forced express courier services that may trigger customs prematurely.
- ✅ Bypass boutique restrictions: Some Farfetch items are not eligible for Singapore shipping but can be sent to the UK or Italy warehouses.
💡 In short, Buy&Ship gives you more freedom, lower cost, and better consolidation — making it the smarter way to shop luxury globally.

💸 Buy&Ship Shipping Rates (to Singapore)
| Weight | Price |
|---|---|
| First 1 lb | S$9 |
| Additional lb | S$7 each |
| UPS Express | S$10 + S$6/lb |
📦 Most luxury items weigh between 1.5 to 4 lbs depending on packaging and material.
💡 Tip: Use free consolidation to ship heels, wallets, and scarves in one package.
🧾 Will I Be Charged GST?
Yes — if your shipment’s CIF value exceeds S$400, Singapore Customs will apply 8% GST.
- CIF = Cost + Insurance + Freight
- GST is usually collected by the courier at point of delivery
- Buy&Ship will notify you in advance if tax is expected
🧠 Example:
S$620 Prada bag + S$30 shipping = S$650 CIF → GST = S$52
