What makes the latest champagne from the classic French champagne house Veuve Cliquot, La Grande, special is the special casket/casing which doubles up as an ice bucket. Andree Putman, a leading interior designer of the modern world has given the casing a much needed stylish touchup. This special luxurious offering is available with only selective dealers with a smart price of $485. Celebrate success or even step up into a venture with it for that whole feeling!

No celebration is complete without the champagne that makes you feel so heavenly. Every accomplishment is marked by its sip. So whether you indulge in champagne drinking to climb up the social ladder of popularity or just for pleasure, style and class is something that can never be disassociated with it.

Living in a society where the champagne that you sip is important, the paraphernalia that you use too marks your substance. So why put up with the boring old steel bucket when La Grande Dame from the house of Veuve Cliquot intends to wow you with the casing of the champagne bottle as much as with the spirits inside.

Yes, LuxTouch enables you install one in your abode for $1,000,000 per sq. mt, and each square metre of marble tile screams luxury by featuring over 1000 diamonds, 2400 pieces of mother of pearl, 400 pieces of abalone shell and 500 pieces of black onyx.

Each sample of LuxTouch tile, flooring or ceiling is a stand-alone magnum opus of involved facet and craftsmanship. The elite LuxTouch black marble tile sports 95 brilliant cut diamonds, mother of pearl and abalone. The heart of tile comprises of a pitch-black agate circle festooned with 19 diamonds and a mother of pearl flower petal pattern that glows outwards from the centre. Each petal is a single piece of mother of pearl inlaid with huge precious cut diamond and the black agate pieces amid the petals are also encrusted with diamonds.

Each of its four corners come inlaid with mother of pearl and abalone shell, attaining a visually appealing counter balance with the blistering flower petals.

Diamond FlooringWhen embossed, the diamonds sit faintly hoisted above the tiles that result in the utmost tactile and visual effect. I wonder the inexpressible sensual experience one can enjoy by walking barefoot on this LuxTouch flooring.

Show Stealer at the Monaco Yacht Show–$200 million Anastasia
Posted in Luxury, Property, Yacht on 1 October 2008


A true show of luxury on the waters was witnessed at the Monaco Yacht Show in Monte Carlo this past weekend. Going by the indulgence of the super riches, this show was just their type. An estimated $4.5 billion worth of yachts on display none of which were less than 100 ft, of the 98 crafts on exhibit. The show stealer was Anastasia worth $200 millions!
True to its worth, it’s rumored that this luxury yacht belongs to Vladimir Potanin, the 25th richest man in the world! Some dandy he could be, going by the extravagant features of the yacht.
Completed by a leading Dutch shipyard Oceanco for the  Russian billionaire, the Anastasia features six decks, luxe quarters for 12 passengers and 20 crew members including a duplex master suite, a ten seat cinema, a discotheque with a laser light display and smoke machine, an artificial coral reef and 800-gallon fish tank, a swimming pool with a transparent wall, a sunbathing platform which converts into a stage for live music, a library upholstered in crocodile skin, and a hanger full of speedboats and jet skis.
Now this is what self indulgence all about! The world may go kaput with their finance handlings yet if you belong to those who need not bother about credit crunch, then this yacht is already worth more than what it was paid for by Potanin. Heavy pampering guarantee plus a whale of time once invited, if you are a dear friend of the owner off course!

The Art Of War: Gold and Jeweled Chess Set
Posted in Diamond, Entertainment, Gold, Luxury on 30 September 2008

Art Of War

Royalty in ancient India played a form of Chess called Shatranj. Sadly, all they had was silk cloth board and usual dice. If they knew about the latest artistic investment in the game of Chess, they would have been amazed. For instance, The Art Of War board and dice, designed by Victor F. Scharstein. Imagine rhodium and gold chess pieces dancing at your command on a decked up ebony board.

Every piece is tastefully decorated with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and other precious stones. Even the legs of the board are all gold- having eight all gold balls. It will be priced at nearly $50,000. It is said that all other parts of the game such as the lock and the key, the hinges and the handle are made of gold. I can imagine how much motivation a thief will have to break open the lock and get away with it.
My other concern is that of functionality itself. Would not so much of glitter distract the attention away from the game? But may be that is also a positive point if you twist the argument a little.

Now you can call your friends for a game of Chess and win every game as they would be too busy admiring the glitter and gold to play the game seriously, at least the first few times! If, after all my convictions, this game piece does not appeal to you, check out the subtle yet classy transparent chess set here.

Posted in Bath Accessories, Gadgets, Luxury, Technology on 30 September 2008


Nothing refreshes you more than a warm shower after a tiring day, or just a lazy dip in that tub on a lazy day to pamper yourself. One can consider bathing a luxury in itself and no wonder, with all those lavish and designer bath rooms that keep coming up, it certainly is.

And with bathroom getting techno makeovers there is more on the offing. With ‘The Bathomatic’ you can add another score on the board for “wired” bathrooms being the newest home trend. It is a fully automated digital bath filler that allows you to fill up your bathtub remotely, even going so far as to let you control the depth, temperature and what fragrances or bubbles you want floating in it when you get home.

The Bathomatic’s filling process is controlled by a microprocessor. It can be installed in any tub, new or retro-fitted, by any plumber. The ability to operate its system from an iPhone is a feature added recently by Bathomatic.The entire Bathomatic system’s price starts from £5,500 (9,900 USD) for the basic package. If you can have these automatic fragrant bubble baths, you must be a Princess or a Prince. Only if I were one! How I love to bathe. Sigh!

Not all of us have the courage to go under knife for the sake if beauty and neither we may have the bucks get the botox shot. That does not mean that we have no way we can seal our beauty. Platinum comes to our rescue, on time! In case you are wondering, let me assure you that real metal- platinum has been proven to have healing and restorative properties on skin. Taking a cue from here, La prairie has manufactured and launched the Cellular Cream Platinum Rare, which is considered to be the hottest topic of conversation among celebrities and socialites.

One can get a box of Cellular Cream Platinum Rare for $1,000. At this price for a small bottle, it is indeed a luxury brand and I am hoping that it must do some wonders to the skin. And let’s not forget how many times more a shot of Botox would be!

Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte: Luxury Hand Crafted for You!
Posted in Cell Phone, Gadgets, Gold, Luxury, Mobile Phone on 29 September 2008

Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte

There are people who would simply buy what is in vogue. The result is that every person walking across Hyde Park would have the same thing with them. Then there would be others who like exclusivity. For the latter ones, Nokia has launched its latest craft-piece called the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte.  It has interesting materials in the making such as carbon fibre, titanium, polished glass and stainless steel to give it an arty look. But the USP of the product is that it is in 24k yellow gold makes it a sheer pleasure to see and hold.

At £2099, it is not a high price to pay considering the brand value of Nokia, the original design of the product and the fact that it is hand tailored in England. I particularly like the looks of gold on Black which reminds me of a beautiful speckled snake. It is so classy and unisex that it will appeal to both men and women!
