A $18,000 pair of flip flop by Chipkos for sale, hand-painted by Los Angeles artist David Palmer. This collector’s piece is priced as the world’s most expensive flip flop. But it’s all for a good cause — proceeds will go to protect 100,000 square feet of endangered rain forest land.

The purchase of the flip flops includes a “meet and greet” with the artist and a two-night stay at the and eco-friendly Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills (recipient of LEED certification & U.S. Green Building Council’s gold level certification). The flip flop is sold in a men’s 8/9.


Lobster and foie gras ice cream by Ice Cream Gallery



Lobster and foie gras ice cream by Arron Liu’s Ice Cream Gallery was a crowd favorite at this year’s Hong Kong Food Expo — with their audacious ice cream flavors that aim to elevate “fine ice cream” to fine dining. Ice Cream Gallery is a boutique from Hong Kong that sources its cream from France, milk from Australia and vanilla bourbon from Madagascar.
Since 1994, Liu has developed more than 600 ice cream flavors, some of which are inspired by French haute cuisine — like the foie gras and salmon varieties — and regional ingredients like Malaysian durian and Philippine mangoes. Ingredients for their ice creams are all natural.
Arron Liu’s ice creams are created in four distinct styles: French crème glacée, made from full-fat, French cream characterized by its no-holds-barred richness; traditional Japanese ice cream made with green tea, red beans or sake; Italian gelato made primarily with milk; and frozen yogurt, a tart, fat- and sugar-free version of their ice cream.
Ingredients are sourced from around the world with truffles from Italy, sesame from Greece, nuts from Spain and gold-grade Japanese green tea.
 A 500ml tub of foie gras ice cream is $120.
