200-year-old London luxury goods firm Asprey has been making some of the world's most exquisite games for decades, of the sort that wouldn't look out of place in a palace. One of their latest offerings is a beautiful handmade gentleman's poker set in black polished genuine crocodile skin with ceramic poker chips and royal purple Asprey playing cards (above). Priced at about $8,000 it certainly brings new meaning to "poker night". Asprey, founded in 1781, holds a Royal Warrant from the Prince of Wales, one of several granted by the British Royal Family over the years. As we reported last year, Asprey decided to return to its roots and focus on its core business of luxury goods representing a high-water mark of taste, refinement and quality after having branched out into clothing and footwear.

When I was living in NYC a few years ago, I was addicted to this place--especially for the menswear. I love and double love each piece of clothing I have from this company. I still regret giving my ex an overcoat I bought for myself. And the hat I lost in Florence is missed to this day. Today I'm wearing the finest, thinnest pima cotton sweater on earth, absolute luxury and no one would have any idea how expensive it was--bliss.
