New Level of Obscenity Offered to a Persian Gulf State……
“Despite the Middle East’s punishing terrain, a UK jeweller believes the region will be the biggest market for its £100,000 (Dh558,000) gold and diamond stilettos. The fancy stilettos are sculpted from a few hundred grams of the precious metal and studded with more than 2,200 diamonds. Chris Shellis, the owner, designer and jewellery maker at the House of Borgezie, who came up with the idea for the shoes, is banking on the lavish tastes of the region’s ladies. “It’s a combination of a number of factors,” Mr Shellis said. “It’s the glamour and it’s obviously the spending power as well.”……. The House of Borgezie has received about five orders so far, mainly from the UK and Europe, but expects much interest from the Middle East, said Mr Shellis, who based his expectation on research he conducted in Dubai last year…….”
I bet the orders they received from "Europe" were by Middle Easterners, specifically fellow Gulfies. It is possible. When greed meets kleptocracy and they both mingle with bad taste, anything can happen. It is a matter of taste: some people have it, others don’t.
Besides, whoever heard of potentates in gold and diamond stilettos?
