Priced at $8,400, Louis Vuitton’s new Golf Bag ($8,400) is spacious enough to accommodate a full set of clubs and other countless gears in its random pockets. I am sure after holding this; you would feel proud in being the richest person in the entire Connecticut. Designed using company’s Damier Géant canvas, the golf bag features cowhide piping, base and handle, and a detachable, padded canvas-and-cowhide shoulder belt. The deal is complemented with the four free Louis Vuitton tees.
Well it may seem a pricey deal to you and me but ask golf lovers what pleasure have they got after hearing about such creation.

Right on the heels of its customary routine to retain customers by producing glitzy accessories, here is iRiver’s novel offering of Swarovski-studded Mplayers. This comes as a blessing for Japanese chics who must have shrieked “kawaii!” over it by now. But to be honest, this one fail to convince me as I would never spend $135 for a 1GB screen-less mp3 player until I feel handicap in absence of any other substitute. The 4th edition Mplayer Swarovski was launched on 1 August in Japan and is available in four diverse forms viz. little girl, flower ray, liberty, ethnic across vanilla, lime, lavender and chocolate shade.

Picture this: MacGyver or any random but serious outdoorsy and gadget-freak nerd happens to be rapt in the lethal precincts of the deluxe five-star hotel with certain terms and conditions: Room service is engaged and the janitor could only acquire loggia seats for the opera.
Does it mean that MacGyver would feel the fright and create noise about his panicky situation? No, as the overt condition that I intentionally didn’t mention is the company of the $40,000 Leatherman knife with him. Lately, Leatherman’s celebrated its 25th anniversary by unveiling Argentum collection detailing the modest $12,000 Acanto, $40,000 Dorado, all impressive creations by Argentinean artist Adrian Pollarols.
Can’t help but to marvel the blingy shapes of these creations!
