Top 10 Accessories: Diamond-Encrusted Phones to $6 Million Home-Theater Systems

 

Briefcase: Valextra of Milan is known for its fine craftsmanship and minimalist design in leather accessories. In New York, go to Barneys and choose a classic bag, the black men's soft vitello leather triple gusset briefcase with flap front and push-lock closure. It retails for $4,660.

Suit: If you're going to go all out when buying a suit, clearly you are not going to purchase one off the rack. Consider traveling to London for the premiere styling and exclusive fabrics of H. Huntsman & Sons, where you'll be fitted to perfection in Alpaca wool, tweed or vicuna. Expect to pay no less than $5,000 to get outfitted by the world's premiere tailors.

Overcoat: Think about dressing your suit in the world's most luxurious fiber, the wool of the vicuna, a South American camelid related to the llama. Vicuna wool was blessed with the moniker "the fabric of the Gods" by the Incans that inhabited the area, and it was used to dress only the members of royal families. In Sydney, Australia, J.H. Cutler offers premium bespoke tailoring in a variety of fabrics, but it is his vicuna overcoat by which he defines himself. Depending on where the wool is harvested, the fabric can go for as much $3,000 to $4,000 per yard. At Cutler, overcoats can cost anywhere from A$50,000 to $100,000 Australian (US$33,000 and $65,000).

Home-entertainment system: Jeremy Kipnis has redefined home theater to the point that it probably doesn't make sense to go to the movies anymore. His Cine Beta system, valued at $6 million, features a Sony SRX-S110 Professional Video Projector with 4,096-by-2,160 resolution casting images on an 18-foot-by-10-foot screen. The sound system features 16 subwoofers, eight cinema reference towers, 10 tweeters and more than 30 amplifiers. A super-quad mode allows viewers to watch four separate programs in full HD. And there's no shortage of material to peruse in incredible high definition: Kipnis' studio also features 40,000 LPs, 20,000 CDs, 15,000 DVDs, 12,000 laser discs and over 5,000 high-definition possibilities. If it's not custom enough, Kipnis can design a theater that's right for you.
