Shut yourselves off from the world, and silently slip into the world of luxury to rejuvenate yourself with water therapy. The Reverse bathtub by Cesana has everything that you can ask for in a bathtub along with an expectedly high price tag. It’s a unique blend of simplicity and class that adorns your high-tech bathing rooms. Reverse consists of an aluminum frame and adjustable feet which allow water massage systems to fit in it. That’s not the main attraction, the hub of attention is the shower bathtub screen, composed of two independent doors opening separately and the smaller door opening towards the inner side.

The most puffed up cellphone on the shelves at the moment is the Apple’s iPhone. A few days back, an anonymous bidder pledged a sum of $100,000 for an iPhone at a charity auction. Originally priced at $499 for the 4GB version and $599 for the 8GB versions, you thought it is quite expensive. But, you will be surprised to know that an iPhone case from the house of Louis Vuitton is about twice the price of the actual iPhone. The set of four cases include Monogram Canvas, Taiga Leather, Epi Leather and Alligator Skin. While the Monogram Canvas case can be had for a mere $225, the Alligator Skin case will set you back $1120. Hmm…lavish possessions need to be placed in luxurious casings. All the high end beautifully designed cases are available exclusively at Louis Vuitton’s Fifth Avenue flagship store in Manhattan.

Luxury Water - Water is No More Just Water

This might be the next best style statement for the super rich out there who have got more money than brains. Luxury water is in vogue in the city of New York these days. A luxury water bar named Via Genova is offering its customers nearly 80 different types of water from around the world.

The list includes the “10 Thousand BC” water from British Columbia priced at $30 and the crystal-covered “Bling water” with a price tag of $55. Water has no more remained just water.

This thing really makes me scratch my head. Are the uber-rich paying for the water, the bottle, or simply showing off the riches? All I like about this “luxury water” is the chic bottle design…nothing else.
