And for personal shoppers at the UK\u2019s most famed airport, life is all about limitless spends and luxury with their array of multimillionaire clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal Shopper Oliver Mamani spoke to the Express about his fabulous life and career: “I started my career working in womenswear for Louis Vuitton and Hugo Boss for men’s tailoring. So I’m well versed in fashion and style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLife as a personal shopper is varied. I have new clients and ones I\u2019ve worked with for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Some of my clients have no budgets so it can be fun to help them splash thousands before they fly.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louis Vuitton is just one of the designer brands Oliver shops in with his clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of my colleagues had a client who dropped \u00a350,000 on designer watches in about half an hour and then a further \u00a325,000 when his wife demanded he buy her a gift!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also had a client who text me days before his flight, asking to reserve a \u00a31,000 Louis Vuitton suitcase for his girlfriend. Then the girlfriend text me to say she wanted to reserve a \u00a3700 designer suit for him. They both had expensive tastes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when it comes to his clients \u2014 including royals and A-listers \u2014 he remains tight-lipped: “This is Heathrow, so of course we have A-listers and royals. But we offer complete discretion.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests are treated to luxuries such as champagne in the personal shopping lounge: “That goes for all my clients. One of my colleagues helped a client buy a present for his wife and then one for his mistress. But we’d never tell his secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Life as a personal shopper can be all about luxury. We help our clients spend their money in some of the most high-end boutiques in the world. I work with a client who wanted to splash the cash; in under an hour, he’d bought a watch for \u00a39,000 and a bracelet for \u00a313,500.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But shockingly, Oliver insists he doesn’t work on commission: “It’s a free service for all customers. My clients can be very generous and want to spoil me with presents but I never oblige. It can be hard to turn down expensive gifts but that’s not why I do the job!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t already book your Heathrow airport parking<\/a> today. Pre-book and save on your booking today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
