Canadian duty on
Leather wallet : 8%
Leather handbag : 10.5-11%

On top you have to pay GST & PST

If send by mail via USPS or UPS/Fedex, add extra handling fees.

PST

Also, anyone have any idea how much the Premier watches cost?

The PSN in Montreal will be on Nov. 10 (Tue) 6-9pm. NOT Nov. 11 (Wed)!

Chanel & Hermes are included in the promotion.

With any minimum $750 purchase, receive a $50 HOLT RENFREW GIFT CARD
With any minimum $1250 purchase, receive a $100 HOLT RENFREW GIFT CARD
With any minimum $2250 purchase, receive a $200 HOLT RENFREW GIFT CARD
With any minimum $5000 purchase, receive a $500 HOLT RENFREW GIFT CARD

There is no expiration date on the EGC which can be exchanged in all our stores across Canada

Holt's PSN in Vancouver is also on Nov. 10 (Tue).
I had my SA reserved a lambskin M/L classic for me.
But was asked to buy a $100 gift card as down payment.
Anyhoo, does anyone know how that we can get the gift card?
Do we go to the customer service with the receipt?
Or do we get the gift card at the cash register after they rang our purchase in?

in vancouver, you bring your receipts to the desk next to the women's clothing section (closest to the entrance from the mall) you can't miss it since there's usually a line!

My bad. Toronto's PSN is November 10th as well. I called to doublecheck, since Nov. 11th is Remembrance Day, and that seemed odd.

If you're not actually going to PSN, but just want SAs to set aside items and charge you the day of, they can arrange for the gift card to be put inside your package ahead of time, so you don't have to line up yourself. (At least my SAs were all kind enough to do that last PSN.)

Thank you.

Maybe I should go there earlier, like in the afternoon, to avoid the long line up.

This is what I always have done! It saves me so much time

Okay I know that it's probably already been mentioned, but I was wondering the price for
Black Caviar Jumbo Flap
Black Caviar Timeless Clutch

Also are there any in stock right now?

Shopaholic XOXO · Nov 6th, 2009, 05:53 PM

I just got a Black Caviar Jumbo flap yesterday... its $3175 CAD + tax. I'm from vancouver, so our taxes are higher...boooo :( ... Ohh for the PSN at Holts, you can prepay and they'll hold it for you that way you can take advantage of the gift cards they give when you purchase.

karolinec1 · Nov 6th, 2009, 09:57 PM

My wonderful SA just put aside the Cobalt blue jumbo for me for PSN!!!! Now I'm wondering if I should have gone the red patent GST route instead.....

daisynana1983 · Nov 6th, 2009, 10:51 PM

mayko · Nov 8th, 2009, 10:20 PM
