That is all!

Why Are Your Luxuries Important?

Before understanding why luxury products are of importance we must first understand what they are. People often just assume that something is of a luxurious nature without actually taking the time to consider what makes it so. The general idea is that the higher end brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton are luxury brands because they are expensive and their products are bought by the affluent but it goes much deeper than that. To the well heeled, a Louis Vuitton bag or shirt is a basic standard. For someone who is used to spending upwards of £1000 on a daily basis these kind of items wouldn’t be considered a luxury purchases. In the same way that for the average consumer a pair of £50 shoes from ASOS would not be considered a luxury purchase. The fact is that luxury is circumstantial. There is no benchmark or system of regulation that dictates when something is or is not a luxury item. This is as good as it is bad because many times we will witness the use of the word in a place it should not be. For example, in the local supermarket when buying toilet roll. The word luxury is often used to boost sales by conveying a sense of quality and because unsuspecting consumers don’t fully understand what luxury is they fall victim to the ploy. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t even have anything to do with the quality of the goods. In reality luxury is about emotion. It’s about how something makes you feel. For example, when you walk into a store and you try on those £300 shoes and you feel like you could walk a million miles that’s luxury. Even if the shoes cost £30, if they have the power to invoke that kind of emotion and you know that it wouldn’t normally be an everyday purchase then to you that’s a luxury.

Now, all superficial reasoning aside, the reason these types of products hold importance to the average consumer is because of this very emotion. A primary example is a wedding day. The reason a man will spend so much money on having a suite made to measure is because when he wears that suit he feels invincible. That suite becomes his armor effectively boosting his confidence and making for a smooth running day. This applies to anything considered a luxury. That “special feeling” is such a necessity and should never be overlooked. It’s not everyday that everyone can afford to by everything but the day you do find that one item that sets your heart racing, don’t ignore it. There’s a reason for those palpitations. That is your luxury…

Give Me Goyard!

It's funny how the world works isn't it. Everybody is totally in love with the accessories from brands like Mulberry and Louis Vuitton and make no mistake, so am I but there is another brand that in my opinion wipes the floor with all the known heavyweights for the simple fact that they are not common. Let's face it. Everyone knows a Louis Vuitton bag when the see one. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but on the flip side the bags are so recognizable that the streets are littered with people carrying counterfeits and it has lost that air of exclusivity. And so my dear disciples of glamour I introduce you to...

GOYARD...

As you can see these pieces are stunning. Mere pictures don't really do them justice as the attention to detail is incredible. The level of exclusivity surrounding these bags is epic. If you go to the Goyard website you won't find a single image of their ranges, there's nowhere to legitimately buy them online and they only ever sell through their own stores. In London Goyard pretty much does not exist. This to me is what makes a perfect brand.

The best news of all is that they are opening a store right here in London. Which means I am going to be poor as that's where all my money will be spent.

How amazing is that giant trunk!

Ok so now I'm pissed...

You know what? I am but a man. I have my faults. Don't hate me if I say something and then change my mind, it's only human. OK, so what if I decide that the Kanye West and Louis Vuitton collaboration is actually quite hot. It really is. When I initially wrote about it I had only seen the low top trainer which to this day I still think it nothing great however the Hi-Tops in the collection are definitely something to scream about.

Those laces are the wickedest thing ever.


It's funny that ever since my little rant about Mr West my love for him slowly seems to be rekindling. Who knows, I might even write a post saying that I actually like Heart Breaks & 808's...

...Or Not

Swag Bag by Money Clothing

I swear to you never in my life have I ever wanted something so badly. I mean yeah sure I'm as pennyless as the tramp at the bus stop but it is only £600. OK so I wouldn't be able to eat for a while, a pretty long while but who cares.

Not only is it made in Italy using the softest leather, not only does it seal using 18ct gold plated zips, not only does it look fucking awesome when it's closed but...

YES THOSE ARE REAL DOLLAR BILLS LINING THE BAG!!!!!!!!!

Fucking hell.

I can barely pull myself together. Really and truly I'm quite happy to part with a limb in exchange for this bag. Honestly. I really need it. I need it more than anything from Louis Vuitton's Stephen Sprouse collection, more than anything Mulberry may have on offer. I just need it! This bag really is the bag of all bags. The dream of all dreams. The bag that was, before all bags began. It isn't just a bag...

It is "THE" bag!

There's not much else I can say. My paltry words don't even come close. Just Click Here to get yours. And with each click remember me as my life remains incomplete.

If only I had £600.

I want to be a Louis Vuitton Don!

A lot of blogs have been talking about Louis Vuitton's Stephen Sprouse collection and how great it is.

However, what a lot of these blogs have failed to mention is that the stuff glows in the dark. It is part of my job to know these things so that I can pass it on to you...
