The UK’s Selfridges and Harrods rank third and fourth as the world’s most popular department stores, according to research by property expert Stokemont.com.
The super-league table was collated from a core list of 47 of the world’s most famous stores, with popularity scores determined by the number of Instagram hashtags, TikTok views and average global search trend data.
Macy’s in New York takes the top spot, just beating Seattle’s Nordstrom. New York’s Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue follows the UK favourites, taking fifth and sixth place. Meanwhile, Paris’ Galeries Lafayette is number seven in the league, followed by Australia’s David Jones in Melbourne, and El Corte Inglés in Barcelona and Madrid, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal.
Housewares and home departments are, of course, a key component for all the top stores.
