Evoking the title of a 1950s MGM flick, this is one grand shopping adventure. This flagship store, with many branches, is one of the largest duty-free retailers in either The Bahamas or the Caribbean, a tradition since 1908. Entering the store is like a shopping trip to London or Paris; the amount of merchandise is staggering, from a $50,000 Patek Philippe watch to one of the largest collections of Herend china in the West. Most retail price tags on watches, china, jewelry, crystal, Herend, Baccarat, Ferragamo, Bally, Lalique, and other names are discounted 15% to 30% -- and some of the merchandise here isn't available in the States. There are even such oddities as a stunning collection of African diamonds and some Spanish pieces of eight embedded in gold settings. The selection of Italian, French, and American fragrances and skin-care products are the best in the archipelago.
