Oh Carol, you have plenty of “snowflakes” in Florida, lol! As for the fake goods - there are plenty of those on the island. A few years ago (10 to be exact) my back then 16 years old daughter ended up buying a few fake goodies there cause she couldn’t afford the real ones with her hard earned money. She was happy like a clam, lol!
Yeah it is a brand obsessed world where Chinese and Russians are going crazy about premium brand names. I have seen a line up in Prague 6 years ago at the Hermes Store. All Russians. I have seen a line up at the Chanel store in Brussels where they had Russian speaking salespeople to cater to the Russians. To each their own.
As for the Canada Goose parkas- you can catch it on sale at the end of the season at Cabela’s stores. Sizes are usually limited but you may get lucky.
