2 Best Shopping in North Beach, Miami and Miami Beach

Beverly Hills meets the South Florida sun at this swank collection of 100 high-end shops, boutiques, and department stores, which currently holds the title as the country’s greatest revenue-earner per square foot. The open-air enclave includes Florida’s largest Saks Fifth Avenue; an 8,100-square-foot, two-story flagship Salvatore Ferragamo store; and stores by Alexander McQueen, Valentino, and local juggernaut The Webster. Restaurants and cafés, in tropical garden settings, overflow with style-conscious diners. A $400 million expansion is currently under way to add 340,387 square feet of retail.

Complementing its sister store in South Beach, The Webster Bal Harbour houses high-level fashions aplenty for both men and women. Nearly every great contemporary luxury designer is represented (Chanel, Céline,Valentino, Givenchy, Proenza Schouler, Stella McCartney, etc.) as well as emerging runway darlings. Fashionably impatient? The store can snag ready-to-wear pieces from the latest shows. It also carries exclusive pieces.
