| - If you live in Toronto this one involves a bit of a trip, but it is well worth it. Last Call is the outlet store for Holt Renfrew and is in the Vaughan Mills Shopping Centre. I have spent hours combing the racks enjoying the cloths while looking for deals. I am always pleasantly surprised to feel something ultra soft, check it out and realize it is Armani wool pants for a mere $995 (joking... the mere part, not that they were $995). The fun here is getting close to ultra expensive cloths and checking them out first hand. You can try them on and determine for yourself if pricey designer goods are worth it to you.
If you can make it, Boxing Week sales are the best as it seems they have huge sections of marked down cloths, things like extra 30% off on all jackets, 40% off on all sweaters. The shoe section is set up like Winners, racks of shoes that you can try on at your leisure. Fendi, Marc Jacob everything, Chloe, Prada as well as Theory, Catherine Malderano, Tory Burch, etc. Brand stock can be sporadic, a full rack of Gucci rain boots one week then the next week they are gone. There are super expensive items, a pair Fendi boots I tried on were $600 marked down from approx $2K (when else would I be able to try on something like this!!), but there are lots of great things in the under $100 range. I obviously left the Fendi boots behind but did get a pair of MJ shoes for about $65, even at the Zappos sale these shoes were priced higher then that.
Happy shopping!
