Luxury Shopping in Europe (Barcelona, Spain): What you Need to get the Discount (VAT Refund)

I say sort of, because while I did some light research about designer shopping and discounts before my trip, I never read anything detailing what you actually need to fully reap the benefits.

Your passport.

If you plan on buying any designer items while in Europe, you need to physically bring your passport with you to the store to be able to get the VAT (value added tax) refund.
