From Car Boot to Harvey Nichols
To make a change from the usual luxury drinks such as champagne and high end Russian vodka, we've sampled a lager, which is imported from Peru and gaining huge popularity on the UK scene.

Not at all, this one is imported by two friends who enjoyed it on a trip to Peru and went one better than bringing a couple of bottles home with them.

Being a size zero has long been the aim of any aspiring supermodel, but a new luggage set that goes by the same name is claiming to be equally lightweight but in this instance, it isn't likely to snap at the first gust of wind at the airport.

Reviewed: Antler new Size Zero luxury luggage range
Lusso recently previewed the new luxury range of luggage from British manufacturer Antler. Having owned some other Antler products for many years, I was keen to see how this new luggage set would survive. Having a trip planned to the Alps for the Megavalanche mountain bike race, this would provide a great test.
The Death of Luxury
The death of luxury has been overly heralded and grossly simplified. Some see the idea as provocative. Some see a certain karmic justice in the idea. And still others use a down turn in the economy as an indicator that the luxury world is superfluous and fluffy: that when in a financial pinch, the average luxury consumer will abandon his or her extravagant ways in favour of a solid rational purchasing habit.
