Duty Free in Nassau?

[saragabrielle]

I am going to the Bahamas in May and was wondering about Duty Free. I have a full day in Nassau and that is where I plan to shop. I was wondering if it is actually worth it with the designer brands like Gucci and Cartier or is it just a slight discount that won't make or break you? Also how do I know if the store is Duty Free or not? I hate looking like one of those clueless tourists. Also what shops should I definitely make a note to visit or avoid. I do want to see the straw market. I understand some people do not like the atmosphere of haggling but I love it.

With the new VAT tax in place, it may not make any sense at all.

Be careful, we saw a lot of fake brand products...cheap imitations from China but some stores try to sell it at regular price....
