I ADORE math. And calculus. None of my other subjects beat math in high school. *

Well I don't know the exact price for wallets or accessories, but my rate of 1.075 is absolutely correct and I'll give you some examples:
Batignolles H: 815US-->875CAD (1.074 rate)
MC Trouville: 1330US-->1430CAD (1.075 rate)
MC Speedy: 1800US-->1940CAD (1.078 rate)
These are all OFFICIAL Canadian prices as of July 1 (remember the decrease guys?)......So.... I doubt that Canada changed their prices again in one month. Also, I know that it's not exactly 1.075 like i mentioned in the first post, but you can somewhat average it out from the conversions shown above. (I just think 1.075 is easier to remember....) Mind you guys, the rate excludes TAXES!
Also, BEFORE the price decrease, the conversion rate was about 1.18 (not 1.14)..........
As for Americans coming all the way to Canada to buy Louis Vuitton? I don't think that's very realistic. If they want to come here, heck, i'd tell them to migrate to France first haha cuz it's the cheapest there (plus you get VAT back). Besides we have a LOT MORE TAX than what Americans pay....so more or less, it's about the same to buy from USA or Canada. Iono what each province's tax is but in Quebec and Ontario it's 7.5% (plus 6% GST), and for Alberta...well....let's just say that they're lucky
