The shisha is not a new product, however the decorations and aesthetics that are provided with this brand's products is. All of the shishas produced by the [London Shisha Compnay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nora-restaurant) are covered with [stunning jewels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jewel-inspired-cocktails), glitter and golden paint, which emphasize the Middle Eastern theme. One particular shisha is actually covered with 24 karats of gold plating making it a stunning limited-edition item. The London Shisha Company is know for its surgical grade metals and carefully crafted hand-blown glass work that goes into the production of each product it makes. Many of the products sold by this company showcase luxury and emphasize the sophistication associated with smoking a shisha. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Smoking Accessories:** The trend of adding luxury decor to smoking apparatuses allows for businesses to target high-end markets. - **Decorative Trends in Middle Eastern Culture:** Incorporating Middle Eastern aesthetics in smoking apparatuses creates a unique selling point in an over-saturated market. - **Limited-edition Collectibles:** Producing limited-edition shishas covered in 24 karat gold provides an opportunity for businesses to create high-value collectibles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Goods:** The luxury goods industry can benefit from incorporating unique smoking accessories to add to their high-end product line. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can benefit from incorporating decorative shishas as a unique decor piece in homes. - **Collectibles:** The collectibles industry can benefit from offering limited-edition shishas as high-value, exclusive items for collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Limited-Edition Bongs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-by-edie-parker.md) - [Hookah-Inspired Vape Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geek-bar-shisha-vapes.md) - [Opulent Smoking Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoking-accessories1.md) - [Smokable Art Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-by-edie-parker-1.md) - [Gold-Plated Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24k-gold-plated-toothbrush.md) - [Pink Portable Smoking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-smoking-device.md) - [Designer Cannabis Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/session-goods.md) - [Chic Transparent Glass Bongs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-glass-bong.md) - [Limited-Edition Cannabis Gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1000-stash-boxes.md)
