Sadly there's not a lot in Canada. I shop mostly from the US and pay a whopping 20 plus % in dollar exchange. Plus duty. Plus 12% Canadian tax. Painful. AW bags are tough to find even in stores here, we have Holt Renfrew which is high end but not any other stores that carry AW, a few good consignment shops, sad for such a great city (Vancouver, BC). However, we 're getting a Neiman Marcus in the fall so that's going to up the game quite a bit. Ssense is one online, Love That Bag is another, handbags only, quite small but Alice, the owner, is very nice, she's in Montreal and is a handbag addict too.

Buy from US based sites where they have great sales and ship it to package receivers at Point Roberts or Blaine! A lot of the times, they don't tax you if they do not have a store in Washington state. I've been doing that for quite a while now and the customs aren't that strict at the Point Roberts border. But the higher currency exchange rate now suck! Unless the item is on sale, buying it from the states is about the same as picking them up here at Holt Renfrew after tax. Another store that carries Alexander Wang would be The Room on the second floor of They Bay in downtown. I was there last week and saw that they have quite a few Roccos and Rockies on sale.

One good turn deserves another...just found out about a designer consignment on Seymour downtown called modaselle, check out their website, no AW's at this point but you never know...also look at Richmondpawnbrokers.ca weird but they say they deal with high end bags, don't know how they're authenticated though.

Also, who do you use as a package receiver?

I ship my packages to the Shell station mostly because i fuel up there every week as well.
There's a new one that opened up called in out parcels service. I recommend this one because you can pick up 24/7 and don't have to worry about getting there before they close due to our glorious Massey tunnel traffic. Make sure you sign up for a customer ID with them before you ship there. https://inoutparcel.com/24-7-package-parcel-receiving-service-us-shipping-address/

TSB is another one thats quite popular, but do expect a line when you get there cause quite a lot of people ship there.

I was lucky enough to pick up a large marion during the Holt Renfrew sale last week as well. I saw 2 roccos on sale, one in navy and one in oyster and also a rockie in air force blue. Not sure if they still have them tho but do check with them while you're there. They might have some good stuff at the back

It's so weird, It felt like I saw a lot of those recently, and now I can't find one to save my life! I'll let you know if I found one tho :smile1:.

I'm still on the hunt for another coin purse, the one in stingray seems to be impossible to find! :sad: Does anyone know if they discontinued the coin purses recently?
