For someone who has it all, London store Fortnum & Mason is selling a Christmas hamper for £20 000 (about R279 000).
The Tercenturian Hamper, only on sale this year to celebrate the luxury store’s 300th anniversary, will be delivered by horse and cart anywhere within or near the London’s main M25 orbital.
”For one year only, we’ve pushed the galleon out,” Fortnum says on its website. ”This is no tuneless hymn to opulence, no gormless glut of gilded lilies. Everything is here on depth of merit.”
The three-tiered hamper contains goodies including a tin of Beluga caviar, enough foie gras for 25 people, a giant bottle of Chateau d’Yquem plus a bottle each of Chateau Latour and Chateau Margaux, and two pairs of cashmere socks in pink and grey. — Reuters
