The good Life


Recently, I was tipped off about a great website that is all about luxury. Clean, black and beautiful, 20ltd is a simple site devoted to 20 items (hence the name) - all exclusives and in limited edition. The offerings are the stuff of legend and probably only within reach for the very few that possess an American Express Black Card. The company was formed by two british ex-admen who wanted to capitalize on their vast knowledge of bright and shiny things. What I really like about the site is it's georgous layout, use of black and tasty typography choices - it just feels sexy and elite. You really do get a sense that you've made it to the VIP room just looking at it. Items offered can range from an exclusive Phillipe Cramer vase, cashmere T-shirts by Hvana, to an $80,000 2 wheeler from Confederate. For those of us who can only dream, there is an additional component to the site - the founders have jukebox section that you can listen to various types of music from around the world you can stream to your computer and if the mood strikes, purchase as well.
