Interesting multi-designer websites

I live miles from anywhere so have to do most of my clothes shopping online. I really miss little independent boutiques though and hate the idea of having the same three chain stores to choose from as everyone else round here.
Lux Fix and Wolf and Badger have come up with some goodies online in the past, are there other websites with multiple designers on them, therefore a good range of stuff that isn’t ubiquitous I should check out? Thanks

Have a look at Farfetch. I love it! They own Browns Fashion (so cutting edge multi-designer) but they also represent lots of independent boutiques globally so they have an amazing selection of known names and lesser known names.

KJ's Laundry, Atterley and Dover Street Market.

Going by your examples you have a reasonable budget, so along with Farfetch, the obvious ones are Net a Porter, Matches, My Theresa and The Outnet. Iris Fashion, By Anna also stock those kind of mainstream designer brands too but are smaller.

Lots of independent boutiques have their own sites, but stock availability can be a bit hit and miss as they won't have huge warehouses and it's most likely the owner updating the site when they can. I have amassed a large bookmark list of places that stock things I like after googling certain items for the cheapest price and seeing what pops up. Could share but I don't like the stuff on that Lux Fix site at all so we might not have the same tastes :)

Wolf and Badger is fab. studiobfashion.com/ is also worth checking out.

Brilliant, thanks. Yes to net a porter and The Outnet, although both annoy me as they never have stock in the middling sizes. Lux Fix seems hit and miss, I’ve had one lovely dress and two things I’ve had to send back as the fabric was nasty.
Will have a happy time looking at your suggestions, thank you.

Ssense is Canada based but prices are inclusive of taxes and duties, they have a really interesting curation and know which up and commers to support from the get go as well as always having some interesting exclusives.

Need Supply & Co. US based and not so helpful with taxes and duties last time I checked (they may have improved since) but I do really like it for browsing for inspiration and discovering new brands which can usually be sourced elsewhere.

W concept is US based but it's a collection of small designer brands that ship from around the world. A lot of South Korean brands, also do the taxes and duties included thing and shipping always comes up cheap ($12 ish)

Moda Operandi is another great one, it's a US company but they have a European base in the UK so no issues with taxes, etc.

L'Exception is good of you're interested in French brands.

De Toujors is a really interesting French one that stocks a unique take on work wear.

I have a bunch of concept stores I frequently check in just from visiting them in real life and they usually have an interesting online shop too if they're not attached to Farfetch already. Some favourites are Graanmarkt 13, Boutique1, Tessabit, Luisa Via Roma, Flannels, Nathalie Schuterman. There's more but these are just the ones off the top of my head.

I've browsed but not bought anything.

Yes to Farfetch and Moda Operandi,

Moda operandi is my go to place for unknown designers. You can preorder stuff months in advance.

I no longer shop at NAP , and sadly I’m beginning to abandon Matches, they seem to be behind times.

I like Moda Operandi
