Best of 2008 Winner: Favorite Luxury Gadget Accessory

GeekSugar — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 14:30:30 -0800

Where would we be without a little fantasy? They're the anti-necessity, but I love to look at luxurious accessories, whether I could ever afford them or not.

I had a lot of faves this year, but my absolute fave coincides with your pick for favorite luxury gadget accessory of 2008!

The good looks of YSL's Downtown Computer Case beat the competition with 28 percent. It still hasn't come down from its $1,800 price point, so it'll remain an image on a screen for me. A very sexy image on a screen.

And check out the other winners of the Sugar network's Best of 2008!

Luxurious Geek: YSL Downtown Computer Case

GeekSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 04:30:01 -0700

Because this is an exquisite Yves Saint Laurent laptop bag, I'm going to ignore its less than designer "computer case" name - if computer is the new chic name for laptop, I guess I'm not "in the know" when it comes to luxury goods!

What can $1,795 buy you these days? Well it will get you one of these gorgeous patent leather bags that comes with stunning gold hardware and a functional brass lock and key for extra security. With a double zipper closure, and adjustable shoulder strap this is one fashionable and functional laptop bag (no I'm not going to say computer case!). Oh, the best part? The gigantic YSL logo on the bottom of the bag which you can eyeball below. . . J'adore!

Holy Burberry, Batman: It's $800 Laptop Time

GeekSugar — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:00:27 -0700

It's not like I expected any bag from Burberry to be affordable, but that doesn't mean that the high prices don't take my breath away each time. For more than some people's monthly rent - $795 - you can be the proud and posh owner of one Burberry Brit Check Laptop Bag.

It's not the most pricey of designer laptop bags - YSL's $1,800 beauty comes to mind - but it's certainly up there. Who's taking this? And if you are, please tell me what your recession-proof profession is.

What Is Your Favorite Luxury Gadget Accessory of 2008?

GeekSugar — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:00:53 -0800

This is the year where it's been kind of bad to be the priciest, most luxurious gadget accessory, but just because we can't order anything, doesn't mean we can't peruse the menu!

My fave untouchable luxury accessories were either cast in leather, like Mulberry's and YSL's laptop bags, real gold, like Tiffany's Camera Bracelet and the Solid Gold Flash Drive, or gold lookalike - as in LaCie's Golden Disk Drive and Gold Python BlackBerry Purse.

Which one is your ostentatious fave? To vote for the rest of the year's best, check out the other Best of 2008 polls!

Tiffany & Co.'s Gold and Diamond Camera Charm Bracelet

GeekSugar — Sat, 31 May 2008 09:00:20 -0700

I'm not typically the kind of girl who is drawn to Tiffany & Co., but when they make such a geeky item, it's an obvious play for my affections!

This Camera Charm Bracelet is 18-carat gold with a little diamond for the lens - that actually rotates. Way too rich for my blood though - $1,500 for the charm alone, and another $1,500 for the chain. Yikes! I guess if you're the kind of girl who drops two grand on an YSL laptop bag, then you're the audience for this.

Still, it's worth a great big sigh, isn't it?

Do You Ever Carry Around Your Laptop Naked?

GeekSugar — Fri, 16 May 2008 09:00:42 -0700

How can a girl who is such a handbag aficionado not have an equally stylish laptop bag? This is the question I thought of when I saw Nicole Richie carrying around her MacBook Pro to her DUI class, no laptop bag or sleeve in sight.

I know Nicole shells out for Balenciaga, so maybe she just needs someone to point her in the direction - maybe a YSL laptop carrier, or a gorgeous Bottega Veneta?

In any case, she needs to protect that Pro soon, and it also makes me wonder: Do you ever schlep your laptop around sans case? I would never - only maybe in an emergency, since things that get placed in my hands are generally dropped with gusto. Do you ever carry your laptop around naked?
