• The North Face – the company was founded in 1966 by two amateur climbers. They started with a small equipment shop in San Francisco, and over time turned it into one of the main places in the USA to buy gear for rock climbing and hiking.

Best American electronics brands

• Apple – any list of the best US brands would be incomplete without the famous “apple,” the brainchild of Steve Jobs. Smartphones, tablets, laptops, headphones, and so on. The easiest way to buy is on Amazon, where Apple has had a special section. Products come directly from Apple, are often sold at discounts, plus there is free shipping from Amazon within the US, and there are no problems buying from Russia (unlike Apple.com).
• HP – cool and inexpensive laptops, especially “two-in-ones.” In America, they cost, like other electronics, 30-40% less than in the Russian Federation. This more than covers the cost of shipping.
• Dell – laptops for home and work, unfortunately on our blacklist. The official website in America really does not like shipping to forwarding addresses or accepting bank cards from Russia. Again, it is much easier to buy on Amazon.
• Microsoft – laptops, game consoles, tablets, smartphones, VR headsets. There are no problems at all with buying from Russia. On the contrary, it is very profitable, and the company runs discounts almost constantly.
• Intel – a well-known American brand, a developer of graphics cards, processors, and other electronics. From California, Silicon Valley. Buying graphics cards directly in America is much more profitable than in Russia. On top-end models, you save several tens of thousands of rubles. You can get them from B&H and Newegg – the two biggest electronics stores in the US. And, of course, Amazon always remains a profitable and convenient option.
• AMD – also from California; in fact, AMD’s office is only a few minutes’ drive from Intel’s office, although the companies are fierce competitors. On its official website, like Intel, the company does not sell its processors and cards. You need to go to Newegg, B&H, eBay, or Amazon for them.

The best American cosmetics brands

• Sephora – the main place to buy American cosmetics; brands are represented here by the thousands, there is everything most popular, plus a ton of reviews from professionals, so it’s easy to choose exactly what you need. American women mostly buy cosmetics for themselves on this website.
• MAC – a brand for professional makeup artists that won the love of ordinary American women thanks to its low price. Refill eyeshadows, lipstick, and makeup brushes (especially brush #217) are particularly valued.
• Urban Decay – interesting packaging design and quality products inside. Most often, people buy this brand’s eyeshadows through us. New cosmetic lines are often released for new movies. For example, there are lines for “Snow White and the Huntsman” or “Oz the Great and Powerful.”
• Elf – eyes, lips, face. A brand from California, created in 2004. Only vegan products, created without harming animals, but at the same time super-duper budget-friendly. The cosmetics cost $5, $8, or $10. Just a few hundred rubles – for very high-quality items! The secret is that the brand does not advertise itself at all, and is mainly sold on its own website, ElfCosmetics.com. Now this website is visited every month by 2 million beauties who love taking care of themselves.

• Kate Spade – Kate Spade appeared in the fashion world in 1993, with her own special, refined, and intelligent style. Her bags are practical, elegant, and invariably attract attention. This brand is a sales leader at Zappos and 6PM in the bag category (apparently because there are decent discounts there). The most popular models are Veranda Place and Cedar Street. Prices from $100 to $1000.
• Tory Burch – known for its bright orange handbags and a fairy-tale-like logo (two ornate “T” letters placed one on top of the other). Interesting handbags with a tiled, graphic design.

But the brand is best known for its “like a rock star” style. Black leather and several silver metallic accents. There are even options with spikes and other sharp elements. The price of clutches in America starts from $100, bags – from $300.

Best American Eyewear Brands

• Ray Ban – the most famous sunglasses brand in the States. Launched in 1937. It popularized the “aviator” model, which was initially produced by order of the US Air Force. Pilots and Air Force generals often appeared on camera wearing these aviator glasses, and as a result they became popular with the public. All Hollywood stars wear them, and Audrey Hepburn chose Ray Ban glasses from the Wayfer series for the film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” On Amazon, the famous glasses cost from $80.
• Polaroid – any list of American brands would be incomplete without “Polaroid.” We know this brand primarily for its cameras and printers, but it also gave rise to a whole style of “polarized” sunglasses. There are a lot of models, but they are not sold on the official website (there are only descriptions there). The easiest and cheapest way to buy them is on Amazon. Prices – from $35 (2150 rubles).
• Tom Ford – a world-famous brand founded by Tom Ford, who headed the fashion houses Gucci and Yves Saint Lauren. He presented his own brand in 2006. This is an American brand of clothing, perfumery, accessories, and, of course, handbags. The first store opened in 2007 in New York. Exclusive handbags with the TF logo cost from a thousand dollars.
• Oakley – a brand for people interested in sports. Advanced glasses with the latest technologies. Founded in 1975 by professional motorcycle racer Jim Jannard. He started his company with three hundred dollars in his pocket, and now it is a company with revenue of more than $500 mln a year. If you need cool glasses for sports, from mountaineering to those same motorcycle races – Oakley glasses on the official website are sold from $180.

Best American watch brands

• Bulova – in 1875, Czech immigrant Joseph Bulova founded a workshop for producing luxury watches in New York. At first, he ordered all the parts from Swiss factories, and in 1912 he opened his own factory there. Watches for Americans were made in Switzerland, and that remains true to this day. The best watchmakers of the small mountain country work on producing Bulova Watch. The movements inside are also exclusively Swiss. The company is especially famous for elegant women's designs. It was watches of this brand that Americans took with them to the Moon (the crew of “Apollo-15” used them for navigation). What is especially surprising is the price difference with Russia: the watches that cost 27 thousand rubles in the Russian Federation cost 3 times less in the USA with discounts, from $130 (8300 rubles). The brand's products are not sold on the official website; Bulova watches need to be bought on Amazon.
• Diesel – one of the most popular watch brands among Americans themselves. The brand started its journey in Italy, but now most of its sales come from the USA. There are not that many watch models, but they are all stylish and reliable. Prices start at $160, but discounts can often be found on the official website. A good option for people with an active workday rhythm.
• Shinola – cool traditional men's watches. With straps made of genuine leather or stainless steel. They cost from $550 (and in Russia – from 45-59 thousand rubles). The brand was founded in 2011 in Detroit. The watches are sold in limited quantities.
• RGM – one of the most expensive and high-quality American watch brands. About each model, the website contains almost more information than car manufacturers write about cars. And for good reason: the cost of RGM watches is also like that of a car. Even directly in the USA – from $5000. Moreover: you cannot simply buy them on the official website, you need to sign up for the waiting list. They are not simply sold on Amazon and eBay either.
• Fossil – one of the best American wristwatch manufacturers since 1984. High-quality and functional models, a great variety. There are even smartwatches, which are also very popular. All watches are sold in branded metal boxes. And on the company's official website, discounts are regularly held, allowing you to buy Fossil watches 30-40% cheaper. We highly recommend them. For such a low price, the quality is amazing.
• Timex – one of the oldest American watch brands. It is more than 150 years old. Books have been published about it, and the brand's products are exhibited in museums. These are affordable watches with good quality, affordable and durable. Thanks to Timex, the Naugatuck Valley, where the company is located, is now called American Switzerland. The brand is one of the world leaders in watch production. At the same time, prices for Timex watches on the official website start at $129, which is very inexpensive.
