The Grand Canal is excellent, don't get me wrong...great stores, great people watching, etc. Just be aware of the prices. I wanted to treat myself to a new wallet and got one at Marc Jacobs. It was in the sale section and was $70.
In LA today at Marc Jacobs and saw a similar wallet NOT in the sale section for $53.
So just beware. I'm sure we all think things might be a little more expensive...but come on!
I'm glad I at least really like the wallet!
