Innovations like this towel rail holder can really make all the difference in making your home truly luxurious.
Aesthetically it’s smooth lines ooze quality and sophisticated design. Dough Heat say:
“Striking in its design, aroma has a subtle flowing profile. As its name suggests, aroma features an aromatherapy heated pool, which creates an ambience for a relaxing bathroom experience.
Towels that are in use can be placed and dried at both sides of the product through the heated side apertures. The sculptural, relaxed form of aroma allows rolled up bath towels to be stored and aired ready for use.
Although aroma looks effortless, the technology within the product is an advancement in heated towel rail innovation. Its fully electric, localised heat gives efficiency where it’s needed. The only hint of this technology is shown where the user interacts with the product, with its machined pop-out temperature control knob.”

Bling, bling, bling. It’s everywhere these days but this bling generation cell phone named the Goldvish Illusion really excels where no other product has gone before.
Heralded as the “ultimate luxury phone” the Goldvish is made from 18k gold and set within high quality diamonds. The phone itself incorporates quad band technology (sounds great but not excatly sure what that means).
Goldvish say:
“The fusion of exclusive Swiss watch making and high end luxury brand.”
GoldVish offers 15 different versions which retail up to a cool million dollars.

The Vertu has been around for some time now and whilst still considered the cell phone of choice for the rich and famous, it really doesn’t seem to have any mesmerising features that live up to the hefty price tag.
What you are largely paying for is the fashion accessory side of the phone which can incorporate platinum, or saphire fascias. Nonetheless, there is some nice functionality to consider:
1. Vertu a subsidiary of Nokia say that the guts of the phone are of the highest quality.
2. The phone is upgradeable so that users can keep up to date with the latest technology.
3. The handsets have a special key to connect the user to a “concierge service” for booking theatre tickets and for satisfying other demands.
There is also a distinct possibility that these phones will become a modern day antique given time. So you might eventually see a return on that weighty investment.
I still have to ask myself whether a Vertu is worth the £3,700 ($5,600) - £15,000 ($24,000)? Probably not, but they are unquestionably luxurious.

The Vertu has long be the luxury cell phone of choice for the wealthy. Now it seems that it’s popularity is reaching new heights. According to Chris Harris Vertu’s marketing director:
“At the moment we cannot meet demand. Sales are more than doubling this year. We hope that pace will continue also next year,”
Apparently Vertu’s new cell phone model will hit shops next month and is expected to massively boost sales.
Vertu financial details are not revealed but analysts expect Nokia to sell about 330 million phones this year at an average of around 100 euros ($129) apiece.
According to Harris Vertu sells “tens of thousands” of phones at prices upto and beyond 4,000 euros.
“We are not in the hundreds of thousands yet, but our aspirations are there,” he said.
