Anti globalisation

I do understand the importance of branding and recognition but since people travel a lot these days I think it is really boring when the big brands have a global store concept that looks the same in every city and on top sell exactly the same items. Nowadays I try only go to the stores in the country of origin, like Prada in Italy, Alexander Wang in N.Y. etc. but most of all I search for stores with a hand picked selection.
This is  a sneek peak from Isabel Marants brand new flagship store in Bangkok with handcrafted woven bamboo screens covering the walls and ceiling to reference Thai craft culture. To me this is a great example of how to ajust the store interior to the country where it is located and I think this makes global shopping much more interesting.
