Champagne Piper-Heidsieck has wrapped its new limited-edition Bodyguard in a “sexy red crocodile skin” for its launch this month in selected travel retail outlets.
The 75cl bottle of Piper-Heidsieck Champagne Brut can be described as having “springtime citrus aromas with notes of apples and pears”.
Piper-Heidsieck reveals that the the flavour of Bodyguard is reminiscent of the Pinot Noir grape from which it derives its “distinctive flavour”.


Designed by Jennifer Tattanelli from Florence, this Croc iPad Case is available in espresso or black.
It will not only wrap your iPad in luxury but it can also be folded back to so your iPad can be propped for better viewing angles.
There is also an interior pocket to hold cards or documents. The exterior of the case is made of real crocodile and the interior sports a suede lining.

For the fourth Holiday Collector’s Series by Lacoste, Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana have created a range of polo shirts for Lacoste.
The special edition is based on their famed Alligator Chair, which shows how the reptiles pile up in mud beds during the dry season in their natural habitat.
This is replicated by embroidering a cluster of eight crocodile logos onto a classic men’s and women’s white polo shirt.
