Louis Vuitton?

[lysolqn]

Does anyone know if and where Louis Vuitton leather goods are sold in St. Martin and/or St. Thomas? If they are, are they discounted off US retail or is it only tax that's saved? Thanks!

There is a COACH store in St. Martin where you save the tax, of course. Prices looked the same as in The states. There are tons of fakes all over the stores where the Cruise Ships dock. They were pretty poor fakes...the "leather" was sort of crunchy looking. In some of the stores the staff tried to get us to believe they were the real thing, but in other stores a sign would be posted reading that they were...how did the call it..."look alikes".

 

Have fun,
