one wardrobe.

What a personal shopper does

A personal shopper does the finding and the buying. They learn your sizes, your taste and your budget, go out to the shops for you, and put the right pieces in front of you so you are not walking a mall for six hours. With Pav that means a selection pulled from across Dubai's best boutiques, malls and private showrooms before you arrive, and a private session to try it.

What a personal stylist does

A personal stylist decides what you should be wearing. Cut, colour, proportion, what to keep and what to let go, and how to put a look together for the life you actually lead. A stylist can work entirely with clothes you already own.

Which one do you need?

If your wardrobe is full and nothing works together, you want a stylist. If you know your look but have no time to find the pieces, you want a shopper. Most people want both, and one session usually covers both.

Pav does both: personal shopping, wardrobe edits, special occasion styling, corporate and executive styling, travel and capsule packing, VIP and private access, and remote styling for clients outside Dubai. For men, that work is set out on men's personal shopping in Dubai. The rate is the same either way: see what a personal shopper costs in Dubai.
