10 of the most outrageously expensive luxury items to covet from 2019

Call it one of the perks of working in the world of luxury, but crazy creations and even crazier price tags never get old. Every month, STYLE magazine highlights one spectacularly OTT item in the Coveted section, and just as we did last year, we’ve compiled the best ones here for your viewing pleasure. Here are 10 of the most outrageously expensive items from 2019: What: Louis Vuitton Hennessy Paradis Impérial How much: US$273,000 From the article: “The Hennessy Paradis Impérial Trunk acts more as a mobile bar than simply a handsome leather chest, designed to hold four magnums of Hennessy Paradis Impérial. Arik Levy designed the decanter, and he also included a ‘special presentation ritual’ that featured gloves, crystal vials, a corolla for pouring and crystal tulip glasses for tasting. Louis Vuitton amplified the triumph of Levy’s design with an immense Hennessy Paradis Impérial Trunk.” Read more: Louis Vuitton and Hennessy create the ultimate cognac trunk – yours for US$273,000 What: Shumukh perfume How much: US$1.3 million From the article: “The Spirit of Dubai Parfums by Nabeel, a luxury fragrance brand based in the United Arab Emirates, unveils the world’s most expensive perfume to date.

When open, the dome offers a panoramic view of the flying tourbillon.” Read more: MB&F unveils final piece of the Horological Machine No 6 puzzle What: C Seed 301, the World’s Largest Outdoor TV How much: US$1.5 million From the article: “At a simple push of a remote control button, the C Seed 301 television will rise from its underground compartment, reaching its full height of 19 feet in a respectable 25 seconds.

Built to compete with other great racing cars of the time – the Shelby Cobra, the Aston Martin – the specs are as eye-popping as its price: zero to 100km/h in just over six seconds, a top speed in excess of 250km/h, a V12 engine, 300 horsepower and a weight-reducing geometry and chassis.” Read more: Why the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is an ‘investment of passion’ that is coveted by the ultra-wealthy What: Savoir Beds’ Three Sixty bed How much: US$450,000 From the article: “Savoir collaborated with creator of bespoke turntable technology, Bumat.
