American fashion designer Marc Jacobs is not a big fan of online shopping and prefers to physically go and pick clothes.

The 50-year-old says that he gains pleasure from the traditional form of shopping, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"The idea of actually enjoying shopping for clothes, to touch fabrics to try things on, to have a conversation with a sales person," fashion magazine Vogue quoted Jacobs as saying.

"All of that to me, it feels like it's becoming archaic when I hear people saying, 'Oh I'd rather order it online, who wants to stand in-line at a store?' 'Who wants to spend their Saturday going shopping?'," added Jacobs.
