For just $30 you can play your own Tiffany & Co cards!
This two-deck boxed set is made in shades of pink and Tiffany’s distinctive light blue. Want to make the gift more special? Get the cards monogrammed for an additional $10.
Though, I guess it’s just a matter of time until we’ll have the Louis Vuitton playing cards too, as they are really good at making plastic stuffs !

The latest and most exciting bag off the Hermes Fall runway is the Jypsière bag (aka the Birkin messenger) designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. He was seen wearing the androgynous shoulder bag down the runway following his Fall ‘08 show for Hermes.
The bag is fashioned after a hunting satchel in which Gaultier describes as “a functional, nonchalant bag slung across the shoulder, combined with the iconic details of the Hermes bags”.
The much anticipated bag has yet to make its first appearance but apparently, there is already a long waiting list in the United States.

Here we go again! Swiss luxury designer and jeweler Knalihs Athem’s newest creation is a diamond encrusted Apple Iphone 3G.
We had already the De Vere Olympic iPhone 3G caked with 88 diamonds and Goldstriker’s Gold & Diamond 3G iPhone versions, but, according to the press release, that should be the world’s first REAL diamond encrusted Iphone 3G. “Although some claim to have created a diamond encrusted iphone 3G, they are just photos of the old iphone redone in Photoshop”
This exclusive limited edition phone is encrusted with more that 475 finest quality brilliant cut diamonds that weigh 3.75 carats in total. Only 50 such handsets will be created worldwide. Each handset is accompanied by appropriate and official diamond grading report from a gemological lab.
The first 10 diamond encrusted Apple Iphone 3G by Knalihs Athem will be sold for ONLY US$10,000 post which the price will be revised sharply upwards. (Thanks Sam)

Nokia just announced a new addition to the Arte series, the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte.
Until now, there was the original variant in black metal and the Sapphire Arte with a gem in the D-pad and genuine leather on the front and back.
The Carbon Arte, as its name implies, has panels of carbon fiber in its front and rear faces, along with titanium, stainless steel, and polished glass.
Internally, the new Carbon Arte is identical to the previous two models, and the only improvement is that the integrated memory is now 4GB instead of 1GB.
The new model will be available before the end of the quarter at a price of about EUR1100 ($1600). It remains a Europe-bound tri-band GSM, which means it won’t be fully usable in the States.
