Hermès Birkin bag sells for over €150,000

Everybody knows that Birkin bags, the iconic handbags made by family business Hermès, are expensive. But the one that sold last week in Dallas was outrageously priced, even by normal standards.

The bag, made of red crocodile leather and featuring 18-carat white gold and diamond-encrusted fittings, was sold for $203,150 (€151,776) to an anonymous private collector.

According to Heritage Auctions, the auction house that organised the sale and initially expected it to sell for $80,000, this makes the red Birkin the world’s most expensive handbag.

It was one of four Hermès handbags on sale at the auction, which also included more than 500 designer bags from brands such as Fendi and Louis Vuitton. In comparison to the Birkin, the other three Hermès bags were bargains, going for between $80,000 and $113,000.

"The Hermès Diamond collection is the most limited of all Hermès productions. With only a few pieces created each year, even major collectors cannot find these pieces,” Matt Rubinger, director of luxury accessories at Heritage, said in a statement.

“A Birkin from this collection, in signature Rouge Hermès crocodile, is singularly the most desirable bag in the world and, between its desirability and its rarity, truly an investment piece," he added.

Hermès was founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès. Today, nine members of the Hermès family work at the company, including Bertrand Peuch, who serves as executive chairman, and sixth-generation Pierre-Alexis Dumas, who is the creative director.

Holiday Gift Ideas for Snow Sports Fanatics

It is no secret that winter sports enthusiasts like their stuff. Yeah, they can be equipment junkies.

Here are some gift ideas to pass along to Santa or the person who has been bugging you about what you want for the holidays:

What are the holidays without stockings?

Darn Tough has come out with its most colorful line of socks ever as part of the 2011-2012 lines for men, women and children.

The Vermont-based company has been in the sock business for more than three decades and its Merino wool is about as itch-free and comfortable as it gets. The company also provides two comfort levels in its ski and ride over-the-calf hosiery - cushion and ultra light.

Colors for this season are anything but boring:

•Charcoal (A two-tone gray).

•Lava (a copper and gray combination and my favorite so far).

•Rad Red (Self-explanatory).

•Groovy Green (Yes, it's far out, man).

•Teal (You can locate people in the lodge with them).

•Night shade (Two shades that are perfect for the 6-year-old who demands her room be painted purple).

•Starry Night Boysenberry (They look like boysenberries).

•Starry Night Willow (The socks look like a willow tree).

The ski and ride socks retail for about $20 - relatively cheap considering the quality - and can be found at outdoor stores all over the region - particularly Eastern Mountain Sports at 380 West Main St. in Avon, 1470C Pleasant Valley Rd. in Manchester and 1459A New Britain Ave. in West Hartford.

For a full description of the Darm Tough line, check out DarnTough.com.

Winter hiking enthusiasts will like the OmniTrax 3.0 Interchangeable Sole System from Korkers boots because it allows you to adapt your footwear's traction to meet changing weather conditions.

The Icejack is the Cadillac of the line. It is high-cut - well over the ankle - and comes with an adjustable wire lacing system that takes re-tying with cumbersome gloves out of the picture.

The Icejack comes with two outsoles – the SnowTrac Winter Rubber Lug and the IceTrac Studded Rubber Lug with carbide studs (32 to a pair).

The boots are made of a waterproof/breathable bootie, and waterproof leathers, webbing and stitching to keep the interior dry. The boots feature 600 grams of Thinsulate insulation that includes an underfoot placement for extra warmth during less-aerobic outdoor activities like working outside, ice fishing and snowmobiling.

The boots weight just more than 3 pounds per pair. They retail for $199.99.

Some days are just not goggle days.

But what type of sunglasses does one get? It can be a frustrating experience to match them up to fit and condition. Are they cool looking or do they look like they have comes out of a gumball machine? Are the lenses good for changing light or does a little cloud cover make it seem like you are riding in a cave?

What about that surprise mogul field in the flat light of the late-day run?

It's funny, but we can look to Hawaii for the answer on snow. Maui Jim comes as close to perfect as it gets.

Take the Ho'Okipa, for example. It means hospitality and the sunglasses are certainly accommodating to all conditions encountered on the hill.

The frames do not weigh much and eliminate any chance of that nose-mark. Plus, they look good on anyone (even those in the teal and orange jackets left over from the 1908s) hanging out on the patio at lunchtime or reclining in an Adirondack chair après-ski.

Something called the PolarizedPlus 2 lens technology cuts most of the glare out on bright days and then allows definition from staring at white-on-white during gray days.

The Ho'Okipa retails for $159. It's a serious investment, but these are serious sunglasses.

The brand is featured at Sunglass Hut at the malls in West Hartford, Manchester and Enfield and the full collection of Maui Jim's can be seen at MauiJim.com with descriptions, pricing and displays.   

About this column: Snow Business explores the world of skiing and snowboarding throughout the Northeast and United States. Chris Dehnel is the Vernon Patch editor and a past president of the Eastern Ski Writers Association.

We are wholesale company selling huge range of replica designer sunglasses at incredible cheap price. Replica sunglasses are your best choice for the Christmas gifts and are welcomed all over the world. We offer 100% quality guaranteed and 5-7 days fast shipping.

The Vintage Optical Shop Brings Retro Eyewear to the Virtual Masses

To the delight of hipsters and retro collectors nationwide, The Vintage Optical Shop, an online retailer offering vintage and antique eyewear, launched their new website www.vintageopticalshop.com early this December.

Brooklyn NY (PRWEB) December 11, 2011

To the delight of hipsters and retro collectors nationwide, The Vintage Optical Shop, an online retailer offering vintage and antique eyewear, launched their new website www.vintageopticalshop.com early this December.

The shop was the brainchild of Levi Isaac, a vintage lover himself, who stumbled upon the micro-community of antique glasses while looking for a pair for himself. He was struck by the quality and character of each pair he encountered, down to the turn of the century, gold fill Windsor frames he sports. "You can tell that these glasses were crafted, not produced," said Isaac, "each frame is perfectly unique, with a story to match."

In 2009, Isaac began reselling the frames, some dating as far back as 1850, out of his Brooklyn apartment using online sites like Ebay and Etsy.He quickly came across a thriving niche market. Many websites were offering reproductions of the classic cat eye, pince-nez, and horn-rim frames, but very few were offering the real thing. With this in mind, Isaac aimed to create a user-friendly website that offered authentic vintage eyewear at affordable prices - the average frames retails at about $100.

Most of the eyeglasses are purchased in lots from antique dealers. Once received, Isaac carefully sorts them, checking for quality and imperfections before ultrasonically polishing them. Many of the frames were found in abandoned warehouses, some still in their original packaging and tags. Some of the rarer pairs are found in flea markets and auctions. The glasses are fit for everyday wear, and ready for prescription or sunglass lenses.

Like any good online business, The Vintage Optical Shop can be found on Facebook, twitter and Tumblr.

Are you looking for the perfect pair of sport sunglasses at discount prices? Are you frightened by the high price of authentic brand sunglasses? Do you like to be the center of attention? That’s the best reasons for you to choose OX Sunglass Mall.

OX Sunglass Mall has been worldwide business leader in selling up  to 80% off Oakley sunglasses from the top brands including discounted Oakley sunglasses, cheapest Oakley sunglasses, Oakley polarized sunglasses at incredible wholesale prices. For more information please visit http://www.oxsunglass.com/.

Coach Handbags Celebrates 70th Anniversary

American accessories label Coach are set to mark their 70th Anniversary this year with a range of innovative ideas and products that include a bag designed by renowned fashion blogger Emily Jonston.

The aforenamed bag was designed by Emily of FashionFoieGras.com who was chosen due to her love of the brand and American roots, thus becoming instrumental in the design and collaboration of the handbag in New York at the company’s headquarters. Originally from the US Emily Jonston is now based in London and blogs about fashion religiously on a daily basis with a cult following (over 17,000 people) on social networking site Twitter.

In the construction of the bag Emily and the Coach design team decided to produce a functional space that was aesthetically chic and contemporary. A tote handbag was chosen and incorporated key features such as a padded pocket on the side to hold a digital SLR camera and a sectioned compartment to store flat shoes. The main body of the handbag shows natural canvas trimmed with leather, complemented by central vertical stripes in blue and white – dominant colours of both the American and British flags – and converts into a wonderfully chic travel bag when flying long haul.

Coach held a fabulous soiree in London’s flagship store, 41 New Bond Street, last week to help debut the luxurious ‘Blogger’ bag with Emily present.

Emily said, “Since being given the opportunity to design a bag with Coach, my feet haven’t touched the ground! Coach is the pinnacle of luxury and sophistication. Designing a bag with a brand that I have always held in such high regard has been the most nerve-racking, but also the most exhilarating, experience of my life. I couldn’t be prouder or more pleased with what we have produced.”

How to get that holiday glow

Somewhere between making your list and checking it twice, hair and makeup get lost in the shuffle. Who has time to worry about either when there are cookies to bake, trees to trim and gifts to wrap? Take another sip of eggnog, and try these beauty shortcuts on for size. They'll keep you looking chic well into the new year.

Glow with the flow: When strategically placed, shimmer creates a flawless, can't-put-their-finger-on-it radiance. Swipe a liquid highlighter (MAC Strobe Cream, $15) on your brow bones or cheekbones for a light-reflecting lift. Treat imperfections and pastiness on exposed limbs to tinted moisturizer like Miracle Skin Transformer Body ($34), or mix a bit of bronzer with your favorite lotion.

Ride the crimson tide: The poster child for party makeup, red lipstick can take you from office drab to soiree fab in seconds. But it's so high-maintenance. To keep your scarlet pucker in place, not on your champagne flute, Julie Swenson of St. Paul Beauty Lounge recommends applying foundation to your lips first, then lining with a nude pencil.

Bun your braids: Try this five-minute (yes, five) twist on the braid from Charlie Brackney, founder and creative director at HAUS Salon in Minneapolis. Step one: Braid dry hair into four large braids, two in the front and two in the back. Step two: Gently pull the braids apart with your fingers. "Don't be afraid if they get a little fuzzy, say Brackney. "That's texture, and texture is modern!" Step three: Gather the braids into a loose formation at the nape of your neck -- either centered or off to the side -- and start pinning. Voila! Effortless glamour for any occasion.

Blot, spray and go: Instead of adding another layer of makeup, bring what's left back to life by blotting away shine with Tatcha blotting papers ($12), then misting skin with a hydrating toner like Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater ($7). Give locks a lift with a spritz of dry shampoo at the roots to sop up scalp oil and add volume. Try Batiste Dry Shampoo ($8).

Get cheeky: There's nothing like flushed cheeks to brighten up your entire face. "If you only have time for one change, choose your cheeks," says Emily Koski of Emily J Hair & Makeup. "Use a cream blush for a more dramatic look, and blend well into the apples of your cheeks." Koski likes Nars the Multiple in Orgasm ($39), which can also be used on eyes and lips.

Take a smoky eye shortcut: They're glamorous to be sure, but smoky eyes present a major time and technique barrier. Swenson prefers a modified smoky eye: Simply smudge a dark charcoal shadow into top and bottom lash lines using your finger or a brush. That's it! Try Laura Mercier Sequin Eye Color in Black Ice, $22.

Get balmed: Moisturizing, smoothing and portable, balms are the ultimate multi-tasker. Tame frizzy, flyaway hair; groom unruly brows; add gleam to eyelids, shins and cheekbones, and soften lips and cuticles. The possibilities are endless, and can be executed while slipping on your party shoes. For best results, choose a balm containing natural waxes and plant oils, such as Josie Maran Argan Oil Moisturizing Stick ($22).

Don't do your hair: For festive tresses without the intricate updo or complicated curls, just add one of the season's vintage-inspired hair accessories. "A slim jeweled headband will instantly dress up your look," says Koski. "If you don't own one, rifle through your grandmother's jewelry box for costume jewelry that could be pinned or tucked into a hair band."

Nail it in one step: Manicure? In your dreams! Local manicurist Rhonda Hansford's one-trick pony: Apply Smith's Rosebud Salve ($6) to your lips, then massage any remaining product into clean nails and cuticles for a just-buffed shine. If you still want polish, paint on one coat of the season's blingy gold or silver shades -- the only accessory you'll need for that LBD.

Those who are on the search of eye makeup like eye liners and eye shadows, going for Mac may be a good choice, and these will not cake or flake. Again, this is one of the reasons why it is such a favorite among stage performers.

When travelling, make sure that the essentials are there: lipstick, eye makeup, foundation or face powder and blush. The brushes are essential but if possible, opt for bringing flat tipped makeup cotton tips. These are very affordable and as travelling can also mean losing a lot of stuff, losing the cotton tips is much more palatable when compared to losing expensive brush kits.

How to Chose Between Handbags

Handbags are one of the most defining accessories that a woman has. While different clothes are worn every day, and an assortment of shoes will be worn during the week, a handbag or purse is usually an everyday item. The most recent trend is leather handbags; tooled with gorgeous metal handles and rivets, handbags that are in stores now are stunning additions to a woman’s wardrobe.

It is important to choose the right handbag. You’ll want to make sure that you select a handbag that will carry everything you need; a wristlet won’t do if you carry your life with you, and there’s no need to drag around a huge satchel if you only carry a wallet and mascara. Another important consideration when perusing different leather bags is if your choice will match the majority of your wardrobe. If your clothing selections tend to be prim and proper, a lime green tote with fringe is not going to be your best bet. When in doubt, chose a bag that is a neutral color, such as black or brown. These colors will work with almost any outfit, and are classic choices for a reason.

Take time when making your selection. A handbag will be something you look at and carry all the time; try to pick something that you love, and will continue to love for years to come.

Time on your side? Buying a watch for Christmas? Here’s a little Timex history

Watches are a big deal during the holiday season. While growing up, the only watch I ever heard of was Timex. They were displayed in every store and you couldn’t miss their TV commercials for the watch “that takes a licking and keeps on ticking.”

The Timex story started back in the 19th century with Waterbury Clock, a company that made inexpensive shelf and mantel clocks in Connecticut’s Naugatuck Valley, then known as the “Switzerland of America.”

Waterbury Watch, a sister company, manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880 that quickly turned into a best-seller.

During World War I, the U.S. Army had Waterbury Clock re-tool their pocket watch into a convenient new “wrist watch” for soldiers. The general public picked up on the watch idea during the 1920s.

Then, in 1933, came Waterbury’s Mickey Mouse clocks and watches. Two million Mickey Mouse watches were sold during the Great Depression. Originally priced at $1.50, the watches are collector’s items today.

A new Waterbury wrist watch, called the Timex, debuted in 1950. ”It takes a licking and keeps on ticking,” raved newsman John Cameron Swayze, the company’s pitchman of the day. The company routinely punished their watches in one TV spot after another to play up the brand’s durability.

By the end of the 1950s, one out of every three watches bought in the U.S. was a Timex. By the end of the 1960’s, one out of every two watches sold in this country was a Timex.

But a time change was coming. The U.S. watch industry saw a big shakeout brought on by new digital watch technology and competition from Asia. Among U.S. watchmakers, only Timex survived.

While Timex still employs 7,500 employees around the world, the brand no longer monopolizes the watch scene. Instead, the big players are brands like Rolex, Citizen, Omega and Fossil. But I still remember the way they slammed that old Timex around.

MBT Footwear with Special Spring 2012 Shoe Sneak Peek

MBT (short for Masai Barefoot Technology) is a fitness shoe brand that I’ve been eying for a while now (they’ve been on the market since the 90s and has really taken the fitness shoe market by storm). The shoes were created after studying the Masai tribe from East Africa. Karl Muller, the inventor of MBT, observed that because the Masai walked on soft, instable ground, they were forced to use their body to maintain balance. This balancing act, apparently, is good for strengthening core muscles and promotes good posture. To simulate walking on a soft surface such as sand or soft moss, Karl created the MBT shoe line with a rounded, curved sole to force the wearer to balance themselves like the members of Masai.

Now, regular readers of this shoe blog will know that we love the comfortable AND stylish shoes. Sadly, although Zappos MBT reviews,Epinions ratings, and even MBT shoe reviews on our Shoe Forum(thanks William!) have been nothing short of excellent with reports of improved back problems, toning of the body, etc, early versions of the MBT shoe line left much to be desired in the looks department.
