Asprey poker set
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.

T. Anthony Alligator Desk Set

Filed under: Men's Style


In the electronic age the elegant executive's desk set is something of a throwback to a more Mad Men-ish era. In December we wrote about Bottega Veneta's luxe sterling silver version. Now Manhattan luxury luggage and leather goods company T. Anthony has come out with an even more luxurious set in genuine Louisiana alligator skin (above). Available by special order only with a production time of up to three months, the price depends on the market for the exotic leather, but was recently quoted at $13,000. Available in brown with polished gold fittings or black with polished nickel fittings, the set consists of a document tray, blotter, letter opener, scissors, memo pad holder and pencil cup. T. Anthony, founded in 1946, has a rich history of making custom luggage and travel items for the likes of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Onassis.

Filed under: Decor


What do you sit in after taking off your $150,000 Hermès crocodile peacoat? A $24,000 Hermès crocodile chair, of course. The newest incarnation of the French luxury goods house's classic Pippa folding chair design is finished in the world's finest matte black crocodile skin, with an ebonized maple frame and nickel plated hardware. The limited edition crocodile Pippa is based on an original designed in pear wood and saddle leather 20 years ago by architect and designer Rena Dumas, wife of Hermès President Jean-Louis Dumas-Hermès. It has now expanded into a collection of elegant foldable indoor and outdoor furniture.

The $250,000 Ferragamo Crocodile Trench Coat

Filed under: Apparel, Men's Style


Remember the $150,000 crocodile peacoat from Hermès we wrote about last summer? Luxury Italian fashion house Salvatore Ferragamo has upped the ante considerably with a full length, double-breasted trench coat (above) made from the world's finest crocodile skin that costs an astounding $250,000. Available only by special order, the incredible matte black coat, handmade by artisans in Italy, features epaulettes, D-rings, forearm straps and a silk lining. Thomas Burberry is credited with inventing the trench coat in 1901; originally only British army officers were allowed to wear one. We're guessing this version was probably conceived of before the luxury goods market went to hell in an alligator handbag.

World's Most Expensive Umbrella is $50,000

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Men's Style


This past summer we wrote about the battle over Sardinia's famed Billionaire club, which some felt was overly ostentatious in these straitened times. The club's owner, playboy Formula One mogul Flavio Briatore, blasted the criticism, defending the rich's right to luxury. Obviously Briatore has the courage of his convictions; his ultra-high end men's clothing line, Billionaire Couture, has just come out with the world's most expensive umbrella.

Made entirely of crocodile skin, the ultra-luxe umbrella (above) is available by special order for $50,000 from Billionaire Couture's London boutique. The brand, which is worn by the likes of Paul McCartney, David Beckham and Sean "Diddy" Combs, is founded on "a relentless search for original details that express quality, sophistication and eccentricity [that] at times goes intentionally overboard." We'd say a $50,000 umbrella falls into that latter category.

Clapton's Custom-Made Herms Crocodile Guitar Case

Filed under: Men's Style


The other day we told you about Karl Lagerfeld's bespoke trunk from Louis Vuitton which holds the Chanel kingpin's collection of 20 iPods and a speaker system. In the same vein, we now present Eric Clapton's ultra-luxurious, custom-made crocodile guitar case from Hermès (above). Hermès also has a Special Orders workshop which can produce everything from a handbag to a bespoke interior for a Rolls-Royce, and is if anything more exclusive than Vuitton's atelier.

Clapton's case was specially made to hold his Martin 00028 EC acoustic guitar, the rock star's signature model ("EC" are his initials) which he helped to design. The shell of the case, which is covered in the world's finest matte-finish crocodile skin, is handmade of poplar wood from Nazareth, Pennsylvania and the whole is lined in blue silk velvet. While we don't know what Clapton paid for the one-of-a-kind case, it is likely to have cost at least $100,000.

In terms of a luxurious take on the classic sneaker, it's hard to beat this crocodile skin version from Superga by Isaia. The result of a collaboration between two famous Italian brands, the limited edition kicks are available by special order from Barneys New York for $2,000. Isaia is one of the world's last remaining Neapolitan sartorial brands, known for its beautiful tailored clothing, while Superga makes Italy's most iconic rubber-soled sport shoes.

The special edition sneaks are made to be worn with suits as a way of embodying casual elegance.

It measures 20 x 16 x 7 1/2 inches, and handles drop 8 inches. The bag is available at Vivre and retails for $4,350.

Gucci's Pricey 'Crocodile Pelham Shopper,' Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags


I'm not crazy about the triangular shape of this crocodile pelham shopper bag from Gucci but otherwise it's a standard, versatile shoulder bag that's sure to be useful as well as fashionable. Featuring crocodile in dark green with silver hardware and two braided straps, the bag also has horsebit accents, tab-snap closure, protective feet on the bottom, and an inside zip pocket. Measuring 19.3" x 5.1" x 11" it's an attractive and generously sized bag but I must admit I'm not sure what exactly warrants the sky high (even for Gucci) price of $22,900.

The $150,000 Herms Crocodile Peacoat

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel, Men's Style

This is without a doubt the most extravagant men's item we've come across for fall (or any other season, for that matter): a $150,000 peacoat from Hermès made entirely of crocodile skin. The ultra-luxe interpretation of a menswear classic, which originated with European navies some 250 years ago, was produced by Hermès men's designer Véronique Nichanian for the famed fashion house's Fall / Winter 2008-09 collection. The Hermès flagship store on Manhattan's Upper East Side just received two of them, in navy blue; other colors may be special ordered for delivery in 3-4 months.

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Croc-Trimmed Weekender by Just Cavalli is timeless with woven canvas, croc-embossed leather trim, and a roomy shape with sturdy design features like thick rolled leather handles and straps that go all the way around the bag. Other features include protective metal feet, a front flap with magnetic closure, and a little dose of fun in the form of an iridescent snake-print lining. Neutral but hardly bland, this bag would be great for both a weekend getaway or just for running your regular everyday errands around town. 16" x 9.5" x 6", $890.

Lacoste Loses To Dental Firm Over the Croc

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel


Bad news for Lacoste this week. It recently lost a lawsuit to a dental group it had sued for using a crocodile logo it said was said too similar to the clothing firm's famous croc. Who knows how the large French company even found out about the The Dental Practice in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England? But the UK Intellectual Property Office dismissed the claim that its use of the logo could potentially harm Lacoste's business. Lacoste must pay £1,450 towards the dentist's legal costs. One has to wonder why the large company took on the small dentist firm, especially when there is a world of counterfeit merchandise to battle against.

Dransfield & Ross Crocodile Pencils

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Writing Instruments

Remember when pencils were made out of wood and cost about $2 for a box of 20? Well, upgrade that boring writing utensil of yesteryear for a more modern and luxurious alternative. Set your eyes on Dransfield & Ross Crocodile Embossed Pencils. It doesn't write in gold and the eraser isn't made from suede - I wonder if that would even erase anything? - but at $27 for a box of 6, this is an investment for pencils. I can't remember when last I even paid for a pencil. However, for the school supply enthusiast, myself included, this could make for an unexpected and fun gift. Available in black, brown, cordovan, green and blue.
