Till the 18th century the rare shearling of Spanish Merino lambs could not be found outside the borders of Spain and the people of the nation were so particular about its exclusivity that you needed a very special permission from the King of Spain himself to cross the border with the shearling. But times have changed and now everything is available everywhere, provided you wield enough power to rope in the deal. The shearling used in this coat offered by Hammacher Schlemmer comes directly from Andalusia and is not just the very best but also gives the coat a look of elegance and understated style. If fashion is about standing out yet blending in effortlessly, then this $1,600 coat is an embodiment of all that and a lot more.

Art experts like to believe that gifted designers like Emilio Pucci are born once in an entire lifetime. Now, that’s some serious honor we are talking about. Well, if you are wondering why then let us tell you that the famous creator and politician from Italy has a number of woolen rugs to his credit that display some very refined, never-seen-before kind of pattern and knitting.
And the rugs have made a long journey to reach to you. Originally made in Argentina by Dandolo & Leaders in Buenos Aires way back in 1969, they reached NY at the Museo de Arte Decorativo and later at Harmony carpets, and now they are available at Sotheby’s and Christie’s for an impressive price ranging between $6,905 and $17,775.

Alexander Amosu has designed the world’s most expensive suit and it comes with a cut, which is above the rest. This luxurious suit is made of Vicuna wool and the Musk ox’s wool which is also the most expensive wool in the world. Musk ox is an Antarctic animal that is very rare and its wool is the softest of them all.
The suit is going to cost £70,000 and each stitch would cost $14. This is also being sold at a time of recession and the luxurious designer says that he is always in business in spite of all the recession and global meltdown. The suit is also made of gold and diamond buttons and had to be transported under the security garb as evil doers could just snaffle the suit.
