Thanks, ladies.
Are the people there designer concious? Do you see LV everywhere?
Funny thing is that I've just notice that are lot of people wiht LV over her. Never used to notice that.
I don't know about the larger cities like TO, Montreal and Vancouver, but in Calgary, I'd say it's so-so here. You see a lot of TEENAGERS wearing name brands, that's for sure...like JL, stuff from Aritizia (TNA, Talula, Triple 5, etc), Lululemon, Bebe, etc...those are common teenage/early 20's brands. There aren't a TON of LV carriers, however, it's always busy when I go to LV, so I wonder where all the LV carriers are?! Oh yeah, Holt Renfrew sells Dior, Chanel, Lacoste, Burberry...I don't see a LOT of people wearing brand names (not like every 8-9 in 10 people) and I don't see LV everywhere. I think I've seen more fakes than authentic ones.
I, myself, have also just noticed that more and more people are carrying LV, it could just because now I'm aware of what it is and I actually sometimes keep a look out for people carrying LV, but it could also be because our economy's booming like crazy and people are earning more and more money. As a previous poster said, we are in a labour shortage right now and need lots of workers. Most places give really good wages/salaries. As an engineering student, our internship director said as interns we could earn up to $60,000 per year! That's a LOT for an intern who hasn't even gotten their degree yet!
Tradespeople are certainly earning tons of money too...if you consider it, my boyfriend's dad owns his own architech company and he's earning tons...Lots of building and construction going on to, so construction workers/contracters are also earning crazy money.
