Worst luxury product ever Part 1: The Vivienne Westwood Penknife
03. June 2009
This really is quite something. It’s a penknife, rather a keyring penknife that you’d likely see in a museum gift shop, with the words “Vivienne Westwood” on it. But wait, there’s a little pattern on the reverse side, featuring cocks. An amusing little gesture, agreed, but there’s only so edgy (please, no pun intended) you can make a swiss army knife keyring. Wait until you read how much it costs. Find out after the jump.
£2000 curry is expensive.
02. June 2009
London curry house the Bombay Brasserie has debuted the world’s most expensive curry. The Samundari Khazana, or Seafood Treasure, is a mix of caviar, sea snails, a whole lobster and gold. Ok, still not seeing £2000 there. Read more after the jump.
Hifiman music player is a grown-up iPod.
02. June 2009
I’ve been reluctant to put too many gadgets like mp3 players on the site because one can get into all manner of wanky nitpicking over details. So, for one time only (maybe), i’m going to get into wanky nitpicking over the HiFiMAN HM-801. With a name like Hifiman, it sounds a bit like something you’d buy from Argos for £20 quid, but let me tell you, it’s most certainly one for audiophiles. Read more after the jump.
$7000 custom key fob belongs in a parallel universe.
01. June 2009
So this is the Gumpert Apollo key by Eng-i-Creation, which is a “bespoke” foldable key and alarm remote for your car. I’m fairly sure it should be implicit that any key is bespoke and singularly linked to the lock with which it was bought, otherwise there’d be a whole lot of car and house swapping going on.

Aha so there are classy phone cases out there!
01. June 2009
Now this is more like it. After last week’s iPhone shocker, here’s some consolation in the form of Alexander Amosu’s luxury phone cases, using crocodile, python, ostrich and lizard. And they’re all fully bespoke. And you won’t look like an idiot for having one in gold and mink and orphan tears. Read more after the jump.
Gordon Ramsay nearly lost it this year.
01. June 2009
Gordon “have some fucking bollocks” Ramsay has seemingly dropped a bollock, after The Times revealed his restaurant empire nearly hit the wall this year. It’s reported that accountants drew up plans to put the business into administration and at one point Ramsay owed the tax-man more than £7m. More after the jump.
Countney Love is broke.
29. May 2009
