Bags are not all about peaches and cream. Even men need to carry bag. Big and hot macho men need to carry luxury bags as well, so that their male and female fans can find another reason to ogle at them. However, searching for that luxurious man bag is very difficult and sometimes just impossible.
However, Taddei Harmarnee looks pretty cute and fit enough for a good looking and hot guy. It is available at the Harrods for nearly £700 and it is quite expensive if you ask me. Nevertheless, since it is one of the few luxury man bags around, I am sure your man will love it.

Harrods is auctioning what is being touted as the world’s most expensive shirt. The shirt has been designed by Eton and comes with diamonds encrusted in it. The coveted shirt is made of Egyptian cotton and is adorned with seven different colored diamonds.
The good thing is, the proceedings from the auction will go to charity. The flipside of course is that someone would be willing spend this kind of money when the world is reeling under crisis. What is with the rich folks these days anyway!

The rising crime rate in the world can be seen as a reason for Miguel Caballeros having deep pockets. Engaged into designing bulletproof clothing for past 16-years, the Colombian designer maintains its charm in high-security fashion by unveiling various revolutionary offerings. With all efforts invested to have a security shield without missing on style, Miguel lately unveiled his novel collection detailing blazers, slickers and suede jackets, some sated with a reassuring stab-proof coating at his London department store Harrods. The collection aims at offering three levels of ballistic defense to its proud holders.
Few of the apparels include a polo shirt that can endure a whack from a 9-mm handgun valued at $7,500 whilst another version costing $9,800 shields wearers from mechanical weapons, counting mini-Uzis. If figures do make a difference to you then it generated sales of $9 million in 2007. The Caballero-secured clothing is now becoming the choice of high-profile clients i.e. King Abdullah of Jordan, Venezuelan President Hugo Chvez and actor Stephen Segal. Mind you, the elite clan loves security and style as they have a heart to spill over the hidden cost involved.
