Bling Ring

Who doesn’t love a bit of bling,especially if it comes from the House of Dior? Now,they are offering a light,handmade flip phone,shimmering with diamonds and sapphires and “opening like a compact case”. Launched in October worldwide,the phone,beneath the crystal linings,is just like any other ordinary one with just a 2-mega pixel camera. The crisscross patterns on it are reminiscent of the Lady Dior bag. The diamond-encrusted phone is available in black,white and red and is pegged at Rs 13 lakh,while the sapphire-encrusted one,available in muted black,white,grey,an understated red and pink,is pegged at Rs 2.6 lakh. And the best accessory is My Dior,a mini phone. It snugly fits into your palm and can be hooked to your bag. “It’s designed keeping a woman’s needs in mind. Many a time,women dump the phone in their handbag,spending hours rummaging for it,” says a Dior spokesperson.
