Using the finest quality materials, from exotic skin to genuine 14K gold, Annie Diamantidis debuts her namesake collection of Luxury Handbags for 2009.

Each Annie Handbag design exudes luxury and glamour and is a timeless treasure that can be passed down for generations.

Inspired by the History and Mythology of Greece, these chic bags pay homage to Greek Goddesses: Athena, Clio, Selene, and Eris. Annie in fact incorporates classic and modern ideas into effortless glamour.

The stilettos are designed by Bruno Frisoni, the creative director of the French luxury cobblers. They were unveiled during the Paris Haute Couture season this week.

They feature an assortment of life’s little luxuries such as 24 ct gold-coated mesh, semi-precious stones, jet, satin ribbons, silk chiffon, diamanté and crocodile skin fashioned into dainty rosettes.

The “Dovima”, an 11cm, spike-heeled confection of gilded silk mesh and jewels, is embellished with a pair of rose pink-dyed, taxidermy birds with gold and crystal heads.

Hermes is one of the few international luxury labels to have furniture. In 1987, it introduced the Pippa chair in pear wood.

The chair was created by the architect and designer Rena Dumas, the wife of the Hermes chairman Jean-Louis Dumas. The Pippa collection has since evolved into a line of foldable indoor and outdoor furniture.

Recently, Hermes has come out with an ultra-luxe update on its classic Pippa folding chair, finished in the world’s finest matte black crocodile skin.

Billionaire Couture, the Italian men’s “extreme luxury” brand founded by Formula One mogul Flavio Briatore and designer Angelo Galasso, has come out with the world’s most expensive umbrella.

Priced at $50,000, it’s the world’s most expensive umbrella and is made from black top-quality, water resistant crocodile skin. This luxe umbrella is available by special order from Billionaire Couture’s new London flagship in Sloane Street, SW1.

Briatore established Billionaire Couture as “the first international haute couture line exclusively for men.” Every item is handmade in Italy in strictly limited quantities, and is the result of “obsessive research into fabrics, materials and details.”

The other day we told you about Karl Lagerfeld’s bespoke trunk from Louis Vuitton. In the same vein, we now present Eric Clapton’s ultra-luxurious, custom-made crocodile guitar case from Hermès.

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.

Handmade using the world’s finest crocodile skin, poplar wood from Pennsylvania and a very fine, soft blue velvet lining, you will make your musician’s holiday dreams come true for just $100,000. (Via Luxist)

Alfred Dunhill have commissioned Swiss inventor Roland Iten to create a unique belt highlighting Dunhill’s commitment to motor-sports.

The Alfred Dunhill Mechanical Belt Buckle by Roland Iten is the result of countless hours of research to create a belt buckle which is made with the same skills used in the creation of Swiss watches.

The Mechanical Belt is designed for ultra-precise adjustments of exactly 35mm - the “two thumb” measurement a tailor will traditionally build into a custom made suit for added comfort.
