Saks Steps into the International Field of Fashion
Dreams of having enough money to splurge on a Saks and St. Jude’s elaborate Christmas gift are still 
dancing in my head. If I had such an exorbitant amount of money that it became no issue, I would absolutely design my own snow globe. After all, the kids at St. Jude’s would benefit.
But since I don’t have that much spending cash, I’ll have to keep my head in the clouds for now. However, while I’m there, I can’t help but keep my thoughts on the subject of Saks Fifth Avenue in general. So here’s a little tid-bitty news piece about the iconic New York retail hub turned national style necessity:
Saks has been toying with the idea if going international for sometime now, and certainly has the rights to be called an internationally-known name. Wednesday they took the first tangible step towards officially being a worldwide store, though, when they opened their first non-U.S. location.
So which country did they choose to step into first? France? Italy? Maybe England? No, they went straight for Mexico. (So I suppose that they are technically they are North American, not international.)
The new locale is a three-level, 150,000-square-foot unit in the upscale Santa Fe Shopping Center in Mexico City. According to the company, this opening is a test to determine the potential for more stores in the country.
Mexico a fashion-forward country … who knew?

There’s much more Mexico beyond the crappy border.
Actually Mexico is the fourth consumer of designer brands in the world! Who knew!
