Chanel’s $17,600 Fishing Pole

The Guardian UK comes through with what may be the most luxury of angler items. “For ny years now Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel have been producing some of the world’s most preposterous and overpriced sporting goods…But Lagerfeld has upped the silliness ante now. Chanel has gone into fly fishing…For a mere £9,170 the ponciest angler on the planet can kit himself out with a Chanel rod and a set of meticulously tied, monochrome Chanel flies, complete with the famous “double C” logo on the gossamer wings, presented in a rather fetching, quilted black leather box.” (photo via flickr)
