Columbian designer Miguel Caballero has developed a range of clothing tagged “high-security fashion”, which incorporates an ultra-lightweight bullet-proof fabric that is virtually indistinguishable from regular designer clothing. A $12,000 anti-ballistic polo shirt has been developed as part of his “Black Collection” line and is available now from Harrod’s of London

The polo-shirt is able to resist bullet-fire ranging from a 9mm pistol to an Uzi submachine gun, which is really impressive. Even if the 600 rounds-per-minute Uzi only hits your Polo covered torso, you are going to end up so bruised you’ll look like one of those purple Ribena berries.

Caballero has attracted a list of very high profile clients with his high-tech kit including action hero Steven Seagal, President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela , King Abdullah of Jordan and President Alvaro Uribe of Columbia. He has been dubbed the “Armani of armor” by his high-profile clients, which has got to say something about the quality of his work.

I think Obama is going to order one : )

Exclusive to Harrods is the new Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut Limited Edition Gift complete with a Baccarat vase, the world’s finest crystal, and a bottle of the deliciously fresh Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut Champagne.

This customised Baccarat Perfection vase is inspired by the essence of Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut Champagne. Decorated with an unusual pink-enamel design in cherry blossom, the crystal vase is ideal for showcasing a magnificent spring bouquet. This versatile piece is also an elegant champagne bucket, designed to chill a bottle of Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut to perfection.

Renowned for its red cherry fruit aromas, this definitive pink champagne, with its freshness and supple rounded finish, is the ultimate toast to spring. Unlike most rosé champagnes that are made simply by blending red and white wines, Laurent-Perrier is crafted using a unique process called saignée, using only the highest quality grapes from the finest Grand Cru vineyards.

The Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut & Baccarat Limited Edition Giftset – with only 250 vases in the series – is priced at £1,000 ($2,000) and will be available at Harrods Wine Department, presented in a chic pink bag with a floral motif.

The Regent 1609 AD is the first Backes & Strauss limited edition timepiece. The name of the luxury watch pays tribute to English astronomer Thomas Harriett who made the first drawings of the moon, before Galileo.

The Backes & Strauss 1609 AD watch showcases an original and luxurious moon phase indicator, which presents a representation of a 17-star constellation, depicted in round brilliant diamonds.

Produced in collaboration with Geneva’s Franck Muller Watchland, which manufactures the movements and completes assembly, Backes & Strauss watches sparkle with diamonds set in 18k gold cases shaped to accentuate the multifaceted gems’ play of light.

Established in 1789, Backes & Strauss is famed for being the world’s oldest diamond company and every Backes & Strauss watch has at least one diamond, set by hand into the crown.

The Regent 1609 AD is currently on display in the Harrods Fine Jewellery in London until it is officially launched in October 2008. The model will be limited to 219 pieces (in two sizes) and available in different diamond combinations, from £17,000 ($34,000).

Harrods is set to launch a range of £5000 ($10,000) Swarovski-studded chocolates, with exclusively designed packaging by Lebanese chocolatier, Patchi.

The super-premium packaging, in which the 49 chocolates are hand-wrapped in Indian silk and placed on suede leather partitioned with gold and platinum, was created by Patchi’s in-house design team.

Each and every chocolate is adorned with gold and Swarovski crystal and silk rose. These are then placed in a stunning box made of genuine leather and magnificent hand woven silk from India and China.

Yesterday it was revealed that this gold-plated pram, which boasts a fitted sound system and satin interior, has been snapped up after just two weeks on sale at Harrods for a staggering £6,000.

Described as “the ultimate in “baby bling”, the converted Silver Cross Silver Shadow is dripping in £4,000-worth of 24-carat gold, which covers every panel as well as its wheels and spokes.

Its leather hood is trimmed in super-soft ermine fur, it has a blue satin lining - and its base even conceals a clockwork music box which plays soothing nursery rhymes.

Luxury bed maker, Vi-Spring, has introduced bamboo fibre into its top of the range bed, the Monarch. Known in the textiles industry for its soft and silk-like qualities bamboo fibre is wonderfully indulgent, but is also one of the most environmentally friendly materials available. Bamboo fibre has been woven into an exclusive fabric design for the Monarch mattress ticking, as well as blended for the mattress filling with other luxury materials, such as cashmere, lambswool and mohair.

Mike Meehan, Managing Director at Vi-Spring says: “To achieve the kind of comfort that brings life-changing sleep, we make every effort to source the finest materials to make every Vi-Spring. We believe that our best resources are those that are naturally available to us.”

Because of its special structure and natural hollowness, fabric woven from bamboo is notable for its moisture absorption and ventilation, improving the ability of the mattress to breathe. Its unique anti-allergenic and antibacterial characteristics allow for an altogether healthier night’s sleep. [...]

An eco-friendly material, bamboo does not have a negative impact on the environment. It thrives naturally, without the need for pesticides or fertilizers, and is wholly sustainable. Extracted directly from the bamboo cane the production of bamboo fibre involves no chemical processing but is simply steamed or boiled instead.

The Monarch retails at £24,275 ( $50,000) for a six-foot (182 cm) double divan set and is available exclusively at Harrods.
