Vault Magazine’s holiday’s issue continues to be the season’s ultimate gift guide as it lists down the rarest and most expensive presents money can buy. Vault does it again this year with features on the most luxurious and extreme gift ideas to give this season.
Rolls-Royce and Bentley are two British limousines that have recently made their way to Philippine soil. Vault tells of how their histories coincide in bringing luxury to a whole new level. Driving and drinking should not be mentioned in the same sentence but Vault makes it work as it highlights in this issue the most expensive wines in the world as well as some inexpensive, yet quality, locally available wines to give to your loved ones as presents.
Let Vault then guide you to the deluxe services available in the country which offer branded bespoke Italian suits and read Vault’s take on British fragrances; centuries-old unsung heroes in the perfume industry that’s been associated more with the French and the Italians.
Also in this issue, relive horse racing, the sport of kings that entails passion and perseverance as Vault takes you to the actual experience— from breeding the horses to betting on the races.
Finally, Vault previews how luxury brands have responded in times of crisis and in the face of widespread poverty especially with the advent of Typhoon Yolanda. In the Philippines, luxury brands have exhibited remarkable generosity with pledges to share their revenues to help rebuild lives and homes.
Vault encapsulates the sense of purpose behind these brands and entities, which, collectively, provide us with a more substantial meaning of luxury—one that’s defined not merely in terms of price or rarity—but through qualities like authenticity and altruism, and a sense of purpose other than profit.
