Luxury items hold no restrictions, as is evident with the release of the [Yves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highend-lip-balm) [Saint Laurent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-x-fender-stratocaster) travel adapter with leather case. This geek-chic dual-voltage plug adapter lets you plug in to your [MacBook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pad-quill), BlackBerry, iPad, straightening irons, and digital cameras (or all of the above) anywhere on the globe.

Really, I can only think of one set of people who would buy (or get free) the Yves Saint Laurent travel adapter—the jet-setting fashion editor living the luxe life. That doesn’t stop me from ogling at the absurdity of a $450 dollar designer travel adapter.
