Gucci launches a Canadian shopping site
The press release we received on Monday about Gucci.com’s new Canadian e-commerce site was a bit of a tease. Surely every red-blooded Canuck runway lover dashed right over to take a look, but alas, the site was not quite ready for us and our enthusiasm. (It seems cruel to tease a people who have long had to swallow “We do not ship orders outside of the continental U.S.”) But today’s the day--the Canada option has appeared at Gucci.com.
The site offers everything--everything--from fragrance and wallets, right on up to shoes and ready-to-wear. (Lovely if you don’t live near one of Gucci’s two Canadian boutiques or one of the four Holt Renfrew stores that carry the collection.) Even if you don’t have the $3,055 for the kilt mini-dress, it makes for excellent lunch-time browsing. Like most e-shopping sites, you can zoom in or spin the items around for a better view. If you are in the market for a sequinned tunic or some stretch leather over-the-knee boots (thigh-highs are the must-have boot for fall, after all), the site is staffed up with personal shoppers to help you out.
