Ho Ho Ho! Holier And Richer Than Thou!



Ultra-exclusive, fashion retailer Barney's New York released its "Have A Green Holiday" catalog this week. link Naturally, the papers and printers used in the catalog are all certified to Forest Stewardship Council standards! Here are my favorite picks.

First up -- A Goyard "St. Louis" shoppers tote at the lofty price of $1065 for those of you for whom the LL Bean extra large canvas tote @ $30 is a bit too pedestrian. The Goyard bag is made of unique 100% recyclable canvas and is made of all natural ingredients without plastic or petroleum. And while you are at it, you might as well spring for the $310 custom monogramming!

Second -- a very special collection of women's accessories including an alligator skin wallet and card case, assuming your Humane Society membership does not extend to those farm raised Florida gators...

Third -- Salvatore Ferragamo neck ties. Sorry, the silk worms are not free range. Do buy a tie anyway and a donation will be made to the Natural Resources Defense Council.

And my favorite. A "billionaire's boys club" made-to-order bike @ $3950. The perfect gift for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint but dread the thought of taking public transportation...

This holiday season, spend your green to be green!
