European Clothing Brands You Can Shop From the US
They say it’s only ‘across the pond’… Sounds cute, until you’re stateside trying to get your new favorite European treasures across it. Sadly, a remote-controlled boat toy won’t make the distance on this particular pond.
New York, Los Angeles and beyond… There are plenty of cool, contemporary brands coming out of the States. But, when it comes to centuries-old specialty brands and a whole continent of cultured contemporary designers, Europe is always going to be the shopper’s dream destination.
Of course, any excuse for a Euro summer is warmly welcomed. But, now that the seasons are shifting and the knitwear drawer is back in commission, you might be wondering how you’ll get your European clothing brands fix without hopping on another long haul.
Curated from 300+ of the world’s coolest brands, Borderfree brings the world to your doorstep with our curated edits and full-collection access. That means you can tap into the artful, bohemian Spanish aesthetic, world-renowned Parisian ‘cool girl’ tailoring, and uniquely eclectic British contemporary, all from your area code.
With easy global shipping and upfront duties, here’s what you need to know when shopping European fashion brands online…
Before You Order From Europe: Shipping, Duties, and Returns Explained
Just like shopping on Canal Street, there’s a lot to be said for keeping your wits about you when ordering online… After all, European shopping should be about finding your dream pieces, not spending an afternoon investigating import regulations.
So, if you want to avoid a big angry extra fee on your new finds, let’s ground ourselves with the three things to always check when euro shopping: delivery, duties and returns.
International shipping varies by brand, and customs requirements and import charges can depend on the order and destination. This means the safest approach when you shop European brands in the US is to look at the final checkout total, rather than trying to reverse-engineer the cost from a price in euros or pounds.
That’s where Borderfree comes in. We’ll handle the numbers side of things (including currency conversion and duty and tax calculation), and give you the absolute total upfront during checkout. This means you’ll pay for everything, just once.
Returns are the other detail worth reading before you click buy. After all, a return within Paris is one thing, but a return to Paris from the US is another. Check the individual retailer’s international returns policy, particularly for sale items.

Where Can You Buy European Clothes in the USA?
You can shop European clothes in the US through individual brand websites, US stockists and cross-border platforms such as Borderfree. The latter is particularly useful for discovering European fashion brands that have little US retail presence, with international shipping, currency and applicable duties handled as part of checkout. In other words, you can shop Paris, Madrid or London without booking the flight.
What Are the Most Popular European Luxury Brands?
The European fashion heavyweights need little introduction: Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Saint Laurent, Loewe, Bottega Veneta, Celine and Balenciaga are among the names with serious global recognition.
But the fun starts when you venture beyond the usual luxury roll call. Sézane and Rouje bring a distinctly French sensibility, Victoria Beckham offers polished London minimalism, while labels such as Never Fully Dressed, Maison Labiche and The Are offer a more unexpected take on European style.

FAQ’s
What are the best European clothing brands to shop from the US?
It depends on the style you want. Never Fully Dressed (UK) covers statement prints and occasion dressing, YSE Paris and Le Slip Français bring authentic French wardrobe staples, Afibel offers classic French womenswear, and Carmen Says rounds out the edit. All ship to US shoppers through Borderfree with total cost shown at checkout.
Where can you buy European clothes in the USA?
Three routes exist: department stores that stock select European labels, the brands' own sites where US shipping is offered, and cross-border platforms like Borderfree that connect US shoppers directly with European retailers. The platform route usually covers brands with no US presence at all, with delivery, pricing, and returns handled upfront.
Do European clothing brands ship to the US?
Many do, but the experience varies widely. Some brands ship directly with long delivery windows and courier-collected import charges on arrival. Others sell through cross-border platforms like Borderfree, where shipping, any applicable duties, and returns are built into checkout, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Do you pay customs on clothes ordered from Europe?
Import charges can apply to US orders from Europe depending on the order and how it is shipped. The practical difference is when you find out: buying direct, charges may arrive as a courier fee after purchase; through Borderfree, the full landed cost appears at checkout, so there are no surprise fees at the door.
What European brands are popular right now?
The names driving searches split into two groups: heritage houses like Gucci, Prada, and Dior, and accessible labels US shoppers discover online, including Sézane, Rouje, Never Fully Dressed, and YSE Paris. The second group is where availability matters most, since many of these labels have no US stores of their own.
