Valextra Rendez-Vous Clutch brings your watch and bag in one

Nandini Maheshwari:

The Italian fashion brand Valextra’s bespoke leather clutch just got more precious with Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendezvous. The luxury leather goods manufacturer from Milan has collaborated with the Swiss Haute Horlogerie brand for a namesake Rendez-Vous Clutch, that brings the two of the most important things in a women’s wardrobe in one. Inspired by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s new Rendez-Vous collection for women, the clutch brings the nostalgic pocket watch kind of feel in a reinvented style by attaching the watch to the clutch. The Rendez-Vous watch worn on the wrist during the day can be attached to the clutch to make for an attractive jeweled belt, so you can highlight your evening clutch and the watch, at the same time.

World’s most expensive paper bag by Jill Sander’s sells for $290

Nandini Maheshwari:

Though the rich philanthropists spend a lot of money on various charitable causes closed to their hearts, they still love to spend on frivolous luxuries like this $250 Jill Sander’s paper bag, which officially is the most expensive paper bag. While the Jil Sander fashion line is known for its minimalist designs, this $290 Vasari brown paper bag puts on a price on minimalism. And, considering the fashion house’s popularity with celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Kanye West amongst others, we are not surprised that the Jill Sander store in SoHo has already run out of the $290 paper bag. “I think it’s more of a fashion statement,” Mildred Fabian, regional director of the design house said.

Windows 8 RTM will include ‘do not track’ by default for Internet Explorer 10

Windows 8 RTM will include 'do not track' by default for Internet Explorer 10

Many advertisers weren't thrilled when Microsoft proclaimed that 'do not track' would be the default for Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8, but that reaction hasn't made the folks in Redmond flinch. Brendon Lynch, the company's Chief Privacy Officer, announced that the 'do not track' default is already baked into the code of the October-bound operating system that has been released to manufacturers. Upon booting Windows 8 for the first time, users will be greeted with a choice between "Express Settings" or "Customize," the former of which has "do not track" enabled. IE 10 on Windows 7 will receive a similar treatment, with a "prominent notice" about the setting being switched on appearing alongside a link to additional information. Despite Microsoft's efforts, it's possible that advertisers could ignore the web browser setting if they feel their negotiations have been for naught. Considering the response to Microsoft's initial default announcement, we suspect this won't be the last development in the saga.

    LightSquared founder Philip Falcone to step down ‘eventually’, attempts to dodge the bankruptcy bullet

    In an effort keep the troubled LightSquared from the brink of defaulting on its debt, its founder will step down from the company. While it doesn't look immediate, (people "familiar with the negotiations" are using the word "eventually") it's Philip Falcone's latest attempt to extend a debt-term violation that expires this morning. According to the same sources, if the initial extension is okayed, Falcone and LightSquared's lenders are aiming for a greater period of around 18 months to repay $1.6 billion in loans and pass the FCC's requirements for its network. The company's board is still deliberating on whether to accept the deal, which would stop the company filing for bankruptcy protection. Unfortunately, it looks like those new 4G network dreams just got hazier.
