Reed Krakoff’s Gym Bags

Summer is the best season to hit the gym, and with the hot season taking coming into play we are all set to head to the gym. But, if you are among those work out fashionistas who wants to look just as good heading to the gym. Renowned designer Reed Krakoff has now announced its new line of gym bags in python and leather for spring 2011.

The stylish Gym bag comes in two different sizes and a range of colors, including red, grey, blue, natural and silver. While the smaller version costs $790 in leather and $2,790 in python, the bigger one sells for $1,390 in leather and $4,500 in python.

Kwanpen Bags

In a luxury industry dominated by European brands, a Singapore company is making inroads with an exclusive line of colorful handbags made from crocodile skin. Selling for as much as $20,000 a piece, Kwanpen bags are created to meet the exacting demands of fashionable women the world over.

Fashion trend spotters say Kwanpen bags are highly sought after in Hong Kong, one of the world’s top markets for luxury goods, and are desired by women not just for their fine craftsmanship but their rarity. “It’s not mass production,” company president Leonard Kwan told AFP, beaming with pride at samples of the products named after his late father, who started the business in the 1960s. “The Kwanpen brand signifies a crocodile-skin bag of the best value and quality.”

It can take up to 50 man-hours to produce one Kwanpen bag and no more than 400 pieces are shipped in any given month.

Most Expensive Hot Dog in the World

The ‘Serendipity Foot Long Haute Dog’ was admitted into the Guinness World Records last year for being the most expensive hot dog in the world, at $69. The foot-long hot dog is made from pure beef, grilled in white truffle oil, sandwiched in a pretzel bun from Germany, and toasted with white truffle butter. In lieu of ketchup, mustard and relish, the hot dog is topped with medallions of duck foie gras with black truffles and served with condiments of black truffle Dijon mustard, caramelized Vidalia onions and heirloom tomato ketchup/

Months after its creation, Serendipity 3, has now put the luxurious ‘haute’ dog on their menu for the deep-pocketed, hot dog aficionado. It’s not the first time the coffee shop has created a record-breaking dish. They also hold the title for the World’s Most Expensive Ice Cream Sundae and the World’s Largest Hot Chocolate.

“The hot dog is a little bit of Americana, but the ‘haute dog’ is total glamour,” said Serendipity 3 owner Stephen Bruce.

Style for a Cause-Gucci Bracelet

Gucci have created a limited edition bracelet to help support the relief efforts in earthquake and tsunami ravaged Japan.

Featuring a white-red-white web that recalls the colors of the Japanese flag, the bracelet carries a medal with a message that reads, “Gucci loves you.”  The bracelet went on sale in Gucci stores throughout Japan in late April and is to be followed for worldwide distribution in Gucci flagships stores in Europe, United States and Asia.

Gucci and its sibling brands in the PPR Luxury Group have collectively raised close to $3 million in donations for the Red Cross since Japan’s earthquake and tsumani.  The bracelet will sell for $100 each, with proceeds from the sale going towards the Japanese Red Cross Society. So lovelies you can feel good and look great at the same time.
