Stolen Kisses

Wine drinking couldn’t be so tasteful and tantalising before. For starters, Swiss artist Sylvie Fluery has conceptualised a pair of limited edition crystal wine classes for Dom P’rignon. Well, the shape of the glasses has the same seductive elegance but with a sexy twist. Each comes with its own hand printed lipstick mark. That pretty much explains the title ‘Stolen Kisses’.

Expecting to be a collector’s item, each pair of glasses comes duly signed and numbered accompanied by a bottle of Dom Prignon’s Ros’ Vintage 1998. And there are only 999 of them available, which indicates a fleeting appearance in the markets.
So, if you want to be the proud owner of a pair. Keep 600 dollars ready in your purse and a spring in your step because only that will help you survive the long wait outside the select showrooms. Yep, the demand for Stolen Kisses is already high.
