Located in Dubai Mall, Symphony is officially our favorite luxury multi-brand store in Dubai along with Harvey Nichols, Bloomingdales and Boutique 1. It is however more specialized in quirky designers which are otherwise hard to find. This is what we absolutely loved about Symphony and will definitely come back for another shopping spree! ;)
Here is our editor's shopping basket.
