Montréal
La Baie, as it’s called in French, found fame three centuries ago for its striped wool blankets used to measure fur skins. The unique blankets are still available, in wool and fleece, on the ground floor. Take the escalators to reach the clothing boutiques, where you can find all the top labels (Theory, Moschino, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, John Varvatos).
Prices are high, though periodic sales can lead to some great deals.
