If you're a high-fashion shopper, you'll be severely disappointed with what Canada has to offer. Sure we have Holt Renfrew and The Bay, but they don't come close to the shops in New York, Paris or London. The small strip along Bay and Bloor only have a couple of luxury stores. The only options available to you when you're desperately crushing on a YSL purse is to either cross the border or shop online and face astronomical duty fees. Thankfully, the fashion gods have heard our prayers - Saks Fifth Avenue is finally in Canada! Think swanky, suave, sophisticated, Saks established their flagship Canadian store on Bay and Queen late February this year. When I visited the store in April for the first time, it was a mildly insane experience! I'm talking about $1000 shirts, $300 perfume and an even outrageous haute couture selection. They definitely cater to the who's who and extra elite in Toronto with their VIP private lounges and personal shopping suites. I scoped out the entire 25,000-square foot space and took some photos of their displays! I must admit, this is merchandising at its best. You can go to AGO or the ROM to appreciate art, or you can also drop by Saks Fifth Avenue and purchase a pair of Louboutins! Those red soles are exquisite. Of course at the end of the day, I wasn't able to hold back. Swoon! Check out the gallery below for more photos or visit the store for yourself. They're on 176 Yonge Street, south of the Eaton Centre. You can also download their app for free!
