[RC] Fools and their money.... $790 saddle-cleaning kits! - A. Perez

My sister sent this to me, from the NY times - unbelievable!

"For Your Stables, or Luxury Garage 

In a surprising turn of retail events, the latest hot commodity
at Hermès is neither a fancy pocketbook nor a wristwatch but a
saddle-care kit. No longer merely the domain of meticulous
equestrians, this item has quietly trotted off store shelves
across the country.ultimate luxury accessory for cleaning
leather interiors. 

The saddle-care kit is enjoying particular popularity with car
owners -especially in Los Angeles - who seek the ultimate luxury
accessory for cleaning leather interiors. 

Priced to move at the wallet-cleaning cost of $790, the set
comes equipped with handsome metal flasks of leather-cleaning
milk and protective balm as well as a polishing cloth, all
housed in a handstitched leather case. 

Despite the formidable price tag, the kits are sold out at
Hermès stores. A new shipment is scheduled to arrive at the end
of the month. Until then, prospective buyers will have to hold
their horses. But there is a waiting list: (800) 441-4488.
