Hermes didn't do their usual Winter sale this year because when they moved to their new location, they had an enormous sale to lighten inventory.
The charity sale in Toronto occurs every other year. The last one was either May or July of 2007 (I'd have to find my receipt for the date), so we're due for one this year! The line was long, but it wasn't impossible. (However, it was a bit of a zoo inside!) Scarves that usually sell for $375CAD were on sale for $200CAD. Men's ties sold for $100CAD.
