The top August 2014 luxury ideas feature a slew of products and services so over the top that it makes one wonder how markets for them actually exist. A large majority of the products could easily be portrayed as useless or wasteful -- but that's the whole point, isn't it?
Products like the $1.3 million surfboard -- which boast platinum gold and hand-burnished timber -- and the stylish Alexander Wang shot glasses transform everyday, seemingly average occurrences into lavish, indulgent experiences. An additional example is the mouthwash from France, priced at approximately $41 per bottle.
While many consumers would never pay these prices, others are willing to because of the unique experience and feelings luxurious products can provide.
For more insight into the top August 2014 luxury ideas, check out Trend Hunter's Luxury Trend Report.
