David Yarrow is one of the most renowned photographers in the world, and the demand for his limited pigment prints is rising rapidly.
"Early investors benefit: David Yarrow's sales work on a tiered pricing method. As limited editions, tiered pricing means that the price of an image goes up the closer the edition gets to selling out. This is a critical element when investing in David Yarrow, as investors receive higher returns the earlier they acquire an artwork." - James Kerbey, Expert at Maddox Advisory
Why invest in fine art photography from David Yarrow?
Early Triumphs and Iconic Moments
David Yarrow, born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966, embarked on his photographic journey at a young age. At 20, he found himself capturing historic moments as a photographer for The London Times at the Mexico City World Cup Final. His famous image of Diego Maradona holding the World Cup catapulted him into the spotlight, leading to opportunities to cover the Olympics and various sporting events.

The last nine years have been instrumental in defining his artistic trajectory, marking a significant shift in his approach to photography. Here is the link to his website with many impressive insights into his unique workplace.

His involvement with notable campaigns and ambassadorships for Berenberg Bank, Best Buddies, and the African Community and Conservation Foundation reflects his commitment to philanthropy.
Artistic Comfort Zone and Creative Collaborations
David Yarrow's recognition as one of the world’s best-selling photographers stems from his ability to capture the animal and human world in a fresh and creative manner. Key to his success is the fusion of art with philanthropy, leading to collaborations with prominent figures in sports, fashion, and Hollywood. Partnerships with Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Ciara and Russell Wilson, and Alessandra Ambrosio showcase the diverse and impactful nature of his work.
Charitable Impact and Financial Milestones

The publication of his third book, "Storytelling," by Rizzoli in the Autumn of 2022 signifies a continued journey of artistic growth and storytelling through his lens.
About Mohan
David Yarrow said that photographing a portrait of this white tiger is like embarking on a journey into a mythological fairy tale book and offers a visual experience unlike anything you've experienced before.
He further explained that his goal was simple: he wanted to do justice to the animal and particularly highlight its bright blue eyes. Knowing these tigers are extremely dangerous, he knew he needed the best camera and lens equipment to bridge distances and not lose any details.
David was aware that it would take him several days to find the right moment for a direct encounter. When it finally happened, he was lucky with the diffused light. He also acknowledges that this image would not have been possible 10 years ago; cameras have improved significantly since then.
He also mentioned that white tigers lack pheomelanin due to a mutation gene, which normally colors their fur orange. The first white tiger cub was captured in India in 1951 and brought back to the Maharaja's palace. It was named Mohan and fathered many offspring. All white tigers still in existence today are descendants of Mohan and live under human care.

The Ferrari F355 gained fame through movies like James Bond - Goldeneye or The Rock. Since then, the model has become a coveted collector's item.
Why a Ferrari F355 Spider?
Ferrari's Transition to Modernity
Up until the F355, Ferrari had produced hand-built, pure driving machines but with the future technology of modern motoring looming on the horizon and manufacturers being forced to change to meet emission regulations, the F355 was Ferrari’s swan song to their classic driving heritage whilst also embracing modern technologies.
Innovative Design and Performance
The F355 Spider brought the spirit of Ferrari to whole new level by melding the Berlinetta and the GTS’s acknowledged performance with a superbly efficient electronically operated semi-automatic soft top.
Engineering Excellence
Honed by 1,800 hours in the wind tunnel, the Ferrari 355 was ahead of it’s time with iconic Pininfarina designing which blended elegance and aerodynamics to make a car that not only turned heads but performed as well as it looked.
Power and Precision
Featuring a mid/rear 3.5 litre V8 longitudinally mounted pushing out 380hp mated to a superb 6 speed gated manual gearbox meant that the F355 Spider was not slouch. Like Ferrari’s contemporary F1 racers of the era, the F355's heads was equipped with five valves per cylinder; three intake and two exhaust. These valves are operated by two overhead camshafts, allowing for variable valve timing, greatly improving the engine’s performance.
Why this F355 Spider?
Desired By Collectors
This Ferrari 355 Spider, importantly features the highly sought after and incredibly rare gated manual gearbox. It is finished in Nero leather and eye catching Rosso Corsa paint set against 19" 5 spoke original wheels. These manual 355 Spiders are one of the most collectable and desirable models to have. After hitting showrooms worldwide in May 1994 production of the 355 ceased in 1999 there were a total of 11,373 units produced. Only 1,384 RHD variants, of which just 315 RHD Spiders and believed less than 240 RHD Manual Spiders variants were manufactured, making them quite rare at the time and even rarer now that time has taken its toll on many 355s over the years.
True Investment Mileage
This particular example has covered less than 2000 miles per year in its over 25 years of life with a stunning history fully documented at all key intervals.
Past Performance
The Ferrari 355 Spider has seen an average price increase of over 14.5% YoY between 2020 and 2023 inclusive, with a correction in the last year. According to data taken from The Classic Valuer.

This limited edition Kelly Danse Anate features Sesame swift leather with gold hardware, showcasing tonal stitching, extended fringe accents, two straps with a front flap closure, and an adaptable flat strap for crossbody, backpack, or belt use.
"Sesame was introduced to Hermes in Autumn/Winter 2021 as an alternative to Gold and has been in high demand ever since. The versatility of the Kelly Danse and Danse Anate means that the bag can be worn 5 ways - backpack, shoulder, waist, crossbody or clutch." - Melissa Afonso, Expert at Threads Styling.
Why a Kelly Bag?
The Iconic Kelly Bag - Timeless Elegance and Allure
The Kelly Bag, an iconic handbag designed by the prestigious French luxury brand Hermès in 1935, originally known as Sac-à-Depêche, was later named after the esteemed American actress and Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly. Grace Kelly's association with the bag, using it to conceal her pregnancy from the paparazzi, added to its allure and mystique. Since then, the Kelly bag has become a symbol of timeless style, exquisite craftsmanship, and unparalleled elegance. It remains one of the most sought-after luxury handbags globally.
Exclusivity and Rarity in the Hermes Market
Hermès is renowned for its stringent purchasing policies, limiting the number of bags an individual can buy each year. Production deliberately remains limited, creating waiting periods of several years for prospective buyers. As a result, the secondary market becomes a preferred option for those seeking to avoid waiting lists. Even pre-owned Kelly bags in well-used condition command prices exceeding 10,000 euros, emphasizing the extraordinary scarcity and demand.
Why a Kelly Danse Anate?
Iconic Design Heritage
The Kelly Danse Anate represents a revival of a timeless icon in the Hermes objets collection of 2023. Derived from the original Kelly Danse, conceptualized by Jean Paul Gauthier in 2008, discontinued in 2013, and reintroduced as the Kelly Danse II in 2019.

A key figure in 20th-century art, Yayoi Kusama is in many respects the most successful female artist alive. With obsessive creative practices, she is best known for her repetitive polka dot motif, covering entire canvases and sculptures in her iconic spots, reflected in her well-known Infinity Rooms and Pumpkin series.
Who is Yayoi Kusama?
Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese contemporary artist born on March 22, 1929, in Matsumoto, Japan. Pumpkins and flowers are important motifs in Yayoi Kusama’s work, fascinations that extend from the artist’s youth. Their symbolism reflects many of the artist’s conceptual preoccupations as well as her disregard for dichotomies: they connote life and death, celebration and mourning, masculinity and femininity; while their complex, organic and fragile forms find echoes throughout Kusama’s practice, not least in its celebration of human sensuality. Formally, the use of these motifs is consistent with the blending of the manufactured and the organic in her print and sculptural work. Their random, almost mutant, appearance highlights the degree to which the natural world appears as strange and uncanny in modern culture, while at the same time maintaining connotations of fertility and growth.
Pumpkins and flowers first appeared in Kusama’s paintings and drawings executed during her studies of nihonga (traditional Japanese painting) at the Kyoto Municipal School of Arts and Crafts. Their unpredictable, organic shapes are reminiscent of the automatic drawing technique of postwar Surrealism, the influence of which can be found in Kusama’s early work, and indeed across much Japanese avant-garde art of the early 1950s. Over the past 5 years, Yayoi Kusama has commanded some of the art market's highest prices. As the top-selling living female artist, Kusama consistently shatters auction records with her sculptures, prints, and paintings. Her prints, known for retaining substantial value, uphold their timeless allure for collectors and art enthusiasts alike. In 1959, Kusama introduced her pioneering Infinity Net paintings in New York, a revolutionary response to the emotionally charged brushstrokes of artists like Pollock and de Kooning. Despite being relatively new to oil painting, she redefined the medium by transforming the bold brushstrokes of gestural abstraction into delicate repetitions, creating a feminine aesthetic based on obsession. This technique, born from her personal struggle with obsessional neurosis, became her therapeutic escape, enabling her to confront and transcribe her haunting visions.
It is important to mention that Kusama has been open about her mental health and has resided in a mental health facility since the 1970s, from which she leaves daily to walk to her nearby studio to work. She says that art has become her way of expressing her mental issues.
Louis Vuitton Collab
In a groundbreaking partnership, Kusama worked with both Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs. Kusama would take over the brand's iconic storefronts in London, New York, and Tokyo a decade later, featuring a robot on Fifth Avenue and a hyper-realistic anamorphic billboard in Tokyo. Since Kusama’s first collaboration with Louis Vuitton in 2013, the average sale price for her prints has quadrupled at auction.
Pumpkin 1992
It is a vibrant representation of her beloved and defining theme. Showcases Kusama’s meticulous use of black dots on a golden orange surface and background of intricate linework associated with her celebrated ‘net’ paintings. The unpretentious pumpkin has long featured in Kusama’s art practice, and provided a comforting, grounding motif and symbol of fertility among the flashes of lights, dots and flowers that assailed her during the hallucinatory episodes of her youth.

Booming Hydrogen Vehicle Market: The market for hydrogen vehicles, which relies on platinum for fuel cells, is set to experience an impressive annual growth rate of 47.9% from 2024 to 2032.
"Platinum as an optimal and complementary precious metal, offering both stability and a certain degree of risk tolerance for the portfolio." - Head of Trading, philoro SCHWEIZ AG
Why Invest in Platinum?
Versatility and Diversification
Platinum, a valuable metal utilized in various industries, is often grouped with gold and silver. Its applications in jewelry and as a means of diversifying investment portfolios make it an appealing choice for investors.
Key Role in Essential Industries
Platinum plays a critical role in catalysts used in diesel engines, making it essential for emission control. Moreover, it is the preferred metal in the expanding green hydrogen sector, serving as a catalyst in vital applications such as electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells.
Supply and Demand Dynamics
The price of platinum is heavily influenced by the interplay of supply and demand. Recent years have seen market shortages due to rising demand and labor strikes in key mining regions.
Positive Outlook and Strong Fundamentals
Despite challenges, platinum maintains a positive outlook due to its solid fundamentals. Its cost efficiency compared to palladium in catalysts adds to its allure for investors. Additionally, platinum's enduring appeal persists despite the global shift towards electric vehicles and technological advancements.
Resilience in Times of Economic Uncertainty
Like other precious metals, platinum is often considered a safe investment during periods of economic uncertainty. Its value tends to remain stable or even increase when other forms of investment may be declining.
Potential for Growth in the Medical Sector
Platinum also has applications in the medical sector, including its use in pacemakers, stents, and cancer treatments. As medical technology continues to advance, the demand for platinum in this sector could rise.
Dominance in the Hybrid Vehicle Market
While fully electric vehicles do not necessitate platinum, it remains integral to hybrid vehicles. The hybrid vehicle industry represents a significant market where platinum is expected to maintain its dominance.

This gemstone has a weight of 1.62 carats and is GIA certified.
"Diamonds weighing over 1 carat and with the highest grading, like the brilliant present, are extremely rare. Nature has not produced diamonds for millions of years, making them a finite resource. These factors contribute to natural diamonds being very stable in value and thus serving as a hedge against inflation. Diamonds are physical assets highly valued worldwide." - Patrick Zeunert, Founder of The BrandZ GmbH
Why Invest in Diamonds?
Physical Asset
Diamonds represent a tangible asset that can be physically held, unlike stocks or bonds, providing a sense of ownership and enjoyment.
Preservation of Value
For centuries, diamonds have been recognized as a means of preserving wealth due to their durability and resistance to corrosion, making them a reliable investment option over the long term.
Protection Against Inflation
Similar to real estate and gold, diamonds can serve as a hedge against inflation, potentially increasing in value over time to keep pace with or even outpace inflation rates.
Ease of Transport
Diamonds are highly portable, facilitating international diversification and making them a valuable asset in terms of mobility.
Diversification Benefits
With a potentially low correlation to traditional financial markets, diamonds offer diversification benefits, meaning their value may not always move in line with stocks, bonds, or other investments, thereby reducing overall portfolio risk.
Stability
Over the past five years, diamonds weighing 1 to 2 carats have exhibited an annual volatility of less than 2%, indicating a relatively stable investment option.
Inherent Value
The rarity of diamonds, coupled with the resources required for their extraction and processing, gives them intrinsic value, providing investors with a sense of security.
Why These Diamonds?
Emphasis on Liquidity Based on Size and Grade Diamonds ranging from 1 to 2 carats in size and graded D-IF or D-Fl are considered high-quality and highly liquid within the jewelry industry. These diamonds, often used in engagement rings or premium jewelry, are esteemed for their rarity and value. The 1 to 2-carat size is particularly popular for engagement rings due to its balance between size and affordability.
Highest Grade: D-IF
The D-IF grade denotes the diamond's color and clarity, with D indicating the highest color grade (completely colorless) and Internally Flawless (IF) indicating that the diamond is free from internal blemishes under 10x magnification. However, IF diamonds may have slight surface blemishes, although no imperfections are noticeable under 10x magnification.

These wines are the result of biodynamic viticulture that respects the terroir and the expression of the Pinot Noir grape. They are wines of great elegance, complexity, and longevity, reflecting the talent and passion of Lalou Bize-Leroy, the owner and director of Domaine Leroy since 1988.
"These are bottles that have only recently been released by the winery and come from a direct allocation. Perhaps one of the last chances to get the wine in this magnificent condition." - Henrik Maaß, wine expert at Liquid Grape
Why Investing in Domaine Leroy?
Domaine Leroy was founded in 1868 by François Leroy under the name "Maison Leroy" and quickly became a significant negociant estate in the region. The estate boasted some of the finest Grand Cru and Premier Cru locations. In 1942, François' grandson, Henri, acquired half of the legendary DRC. Today, the Leroy family formally owns 50% of the shares of the DRC.
Lalou Bize-Leroy, the grande dame of Burgundy, left the Democratic Republic of Congo presidency in 1992 after acquiring the estates of Charles Noëllat and Phillippe Remy, merging them into what is now "Domaine Leroy." The vineyard spans 23 hectares, predominantly classified as Premier Cru and Grand Cru. Domaine Leroy is renowned for its Burgundy red wines, known for their finesse and purity. Inspired by Nicolas Joly (Château de la Roche-aux-Moines), Lalou quickly converted all vineyards to biodynamic cultivation. Vision, cultivation consistency, uncompromising yield reduction, and pursuit of the highest quality characterize Domaine Leroy, especially under Lalou Bize-Leroy's leadership.
It's worth noting that the Grande Dame of Burgundy, Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy (born in 1932), one of Burgundy's most important figures, has reached an advanced age. If she is no longer present, her magical wines will cease to exist. This scarcity will inevitably lead to increased prices for wines bearing her signature.
The Domaine Leroy Chambertin Grand Cru, 2013
Is a wine that embodies the harmony between terroir and winemaking mastery. Hailing from the Cote de Nuits region in Burgundy, France, renowned for its high-quality red wines, Domaine Leroy's Chambertin Grand Cru is consistently masterful and profound. The 2013 vintage boasts finely etched details, beginning with a complex nose of wildflowers, savory spices, and blackberry fruit. It serves as an idyllic illustration of the harmony between terroir and winemaking mastery.
The Domaine Leroy Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, 2014
Stands out as another exceptional wine from Domaine Leroy. Also originating from the Cote de Nuits region in Burgundy, France, this wine is a testament to the vintage's resilience against adversity, particularly in a year marked by climatic inconsistency in Burgundy vineyards. It, too, serves as an idyllic illustration of the harmony between terroir and winemaking mastery.

This diversified whisky collection comprises 13 individual bottles from the most renowned Japanese and Scottish distilleries: Karuizawa, Yamazaki, Port Ellen, Rosebank.
"This collection stands out because it includes some exceptionally old and rare whiskies from distilleries such as Karuizawa, which has been closed and demolished, as well as from distilleries like Port Ellen and Rosebank that were historically closed but are now being reopened.
The reopening of distilleries like Port Ellen and Rosebank is accompanied by significant marketing efforts and public excitement. This not only introduces these distilleries to a broader audience, previously familiar only to dedicated enthusiasts, but also increases interest in their legendary old bottles.
Sadly the world will never see whiskey from the original Karuizawa distillery. The market has already adjusted (and corrected itself) to take into account how important Karuizawa is in the canon of whisky and this perception is unlikely to change.
As with any investment, patience is key, and over the years as these distilleries start to gather momentum these old and rare bottles will only become more sought after." - Mark Litter, Whisky Specialist at MARK LITTLER LTD
Why invest in the Japanese and Scottish whisky collection?
This unique whisky collection includes both Japanese and Scottish whisky bottles. In total, there are 13 bottles from the world's most renowned distilleries, namely Karuizawa, Yamazaki, Port Ellen, and Rosebank. Karuizawa and Port Ellen are both closed distilleries, which increases their appeal to collectors. Additionally, the bottles are highly limited. The Karuizawa 1981 has the largest release with 595 bottles, while only 60 bottles of the Port Ellen XOP 1982 were produced. Most bottles are cask strength whisky, which tends to fetch higher prices at auctions.
List of bottles in this collection:
Karuizawa 1981 / 33 years / 1 von 595
Karuizawa 1980 / 34 years / 1 von 370
Karuizawa 1978 / 35 years / 1 von 405

Karuizawa
The mild climate and fertile volcanic soils near Mount Asama attracted winemakers, including a company called Daikoku-budoshu, in the 1920s. Despite being primarily focused on wine production, Daikoku also operated a small whisky distillery in Yamanashi Prefecture and introduced a blended whisky named Ocean in 1946. This was one of Japan's earliest whiskies after World War II, initially targeting American GIs stationed in Japan but quickly gaining popularity among local business communities. As whisky grew in popularity in Japan, Daikoku decided to convert one of its wineries in Karuizawa into a malt whisky distillery in the mid-1950s to meet demand for its blends. However, in 1962, Daikoku was absorbed by the Mercian Corporation, known for Chateau Mercian wine. The Karuizawa distillery continued to supply malt for Japanese blends until 1976, when it began releasing small amounts as single malt, though little was exported. With the economic downturn in the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese whisky distilleries began closing, including Karuizawa in 2001. The Mercian Corporation was later acquired by Kirin, but they did not revive Karuizawa, leading to the cancellation of its distilling license. In 2016, the distillery was demolished and the site sold for redevelopment. In 2011, the remaining stock of 364 casks was purchased by the Number One Drinks Company in Norfolk, England, and gradually bottled and sold, with many fetching high prices at auction. Now, only two casks remain after years of negotiation.
Yamazaki
Yamazaki's rise to global whisky prominence is rooted in its rich history and unwavering commitment to innovation. Founded in 1924 by Shinjiro Torii, it is Japan's oldest distillery and lays the foundation for the country's whisky industry. Despite initial challenges, Yamazaki persisted, introducing its first whisky under the Suntory label in 1929. The turning point came in 1937 with the introduction of Kakubin, a blend tailored to the Japanese palate that gained great popularity. The release of the Yamazaki 12-year-old single malt in 1984 marked a significant milestone, setting the stage for further recognition. Under the leadership of Keizo Saji, Yamazaki expanded production and embraced innovation, culminating in its acquisition by Beam Inc. in 2014 and facilitating global reach and recognition. The peak of its success came in 2015 when Jim Murray named the Sherry Cask 2013 the "World Whisky of the Year," propelling Yamazaki to unparalleled heights. Today, Yamazaki remains at the forefront of the whisky industry, driving innovation and earning recognition worldwide.
Port Ellen
Named in honor of the wife of Islay's owner, Walter Frederick Campbell, a pier was constructed near the distillery in 1826, around which the village developed, eventually becoming the primary port on the island. Although the distillery was established two years prior to the pier's construction, it didn't thrive until John Ramsay assumed the role of manager. Despite being just eighteen years old, Ramsay displayed remarkable ability and soon became the laird's business partner, the foremost farmer on Islay, and a Member of Parliament. By the time of his passing in 1892, Ramsay owned the entire parish of Kildaton and had erected numerous houses on the estate. The distillery was managed thereafter by his widow and subsequently by their son, Captain Iain Ramsay of Kildalton. Port Ellen Distillery ceased production in 1983 and shut down in 1987. Its renowned smoky whisky was primarily used in blends, with only one occasion of it being bottled as a single malt by its owner in 1980, commemorating a visit by Her Majesty the Queen. The distillery was closed in 1983, and the owner, Diageo, plans to reopen it in 2024. The reopening effect has historically driven up prices of older releases.
Rosebank
Rosebank was highly esteemed as the finest Lowland malt, renowned for its delicate flavor profile. Professor MacDowell described it as "an excellent lightly flavored whisky," suggesting its popularity in England over the robust Highland malts before the era of modern blends. By the 1890s, demand for Rosebank was so high that many customers had to settle for less than they ordered, indicating its widespread appeal. Its closure was mourned by whisky enthusiasts, with Michael Jackson lamenting it as "a grievous loss." In 2008, Diageo received a proposal to revive Rosebank by building a new distillery nearby using its original stills and equipment left on site. However, the plan was thwarted when copper thieves, posing as legitimate tradesmen, broke in and either stole or damaged the equipment, evading capture.

Alberto Giacometti, a Swiss artist, renowned for his elongated human figures, depicted the anguish of the 20th century. Influenced by Cubism and Surrealism, he became a highly sought-after artist globally.
“Giacometti, the most important Swiss artist of the 20th century and of timeless style, has experienced an exceptional surge in demand and value. Over the past decade, the global Giacometti market has more than doubled, making him rank among the top 12 best-selling artists by value.” - Javier Lumbreras, CEO at Artemundi
Who is Alberto Giacometti?
Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) is the most important Swiss artist of the 20th century and a leading figure of Modernism. Celebrated for his unique interpretation of the human figure, Giacometti ranks among the best-selling artists globally as his work lastingly impacted the turn of art history. Greatly appreciated by collectors and investors, the global Giacometti market more than doubled in the last decade and shows a steep upward tendency. Giacometti ranks among the top 12 best-selling artists by value and his market reached a turnover of over USD 64 million in 2023 alone. His work "L'homme au doigt" sold at Christie’s in 2015 for USD 141 million and even almost ten years later it remains the seventh highest selling piece of Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary art at auction.
Giacometti’s principal work and fame evolve around his sculptures, yet it is his drawings and often preliminary sketches that allow us to perceive the creative process of his mind. Most of these works form part of renowned museum collections of 20th century art while privately held drawings are increasingly rare: only around 24 pieces come to the market per year. While the market volume for Giacometti’s works on paper remains steady, the market value increased by over 40% in the last decade as prices rise consistently.
Portrait of Soshana
The 1958 drawing by Giacometti portrays his dear friend and fellow artist Soshana Afroyim, with whom Giacometti shared a deep friendship until his death. The sitter appears seated with her hands crossed in her lap and looks directly at the beholder. Giacometti rendered in pencil the soft features of Soshana with her pinned-up hair, repeating the contours typical in Giacometti’s work. Yet, his depiction of Soshana deprives the vigorous intensity with which Giacometti drew many male figures, and here, instead, he turned to soft and gracious lines to echo the gentleness that his friend evoked. In his usual way, Giacometti focused on the sitter’s face, which marks the center of the composition, and gradually reduced details moving outward. Soshana’s silhouette is only partially lined out, yet the present lines suffice to understand her position, exemplary of Giacometti’s mastery.
Born in Vienna, Soshana Afroyim (1927-2015) was an Austrian artist who lived and worked in Vienna, London, Paris, New York, Cuba, and Mexico. A restless soul, Soshana also traveled widely through Africa, where she portrayed Albert Schweitzer, and through Asia, where she absorbed Asian calligraphy influences in her later work. When Soshana was only eleven years old, her family fled Nazi-occupied Austria and settled first in Paris, then in London, and later in New York, where she attended various art schools and began painting. She quickly became a skilled portrait painter and portrayed well-known personalities, including author Thomas Mann, artist Albert Gütersloh, women’s rights activist Anita Whitney, philosopher Isaku Yanahihara, and many more. Soshana also became acquainted with artists Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko, Yves Klein, and Marc Chagall. A special bond connected her with Alberto Giacometti, whom she considered one of her best friends and portrayed various times, including postmortem in fond memory of the Swiss artist.

The most coveted models in Birkin bag history are the limited edition styles. These designs are released in severely limited quantities, part of the Hermès strategic scarcity that drives both demand and price.
"Ostrich Birkins tend to sell at auction approximately twice as frequently as Ostrich Kelly bags. Additionally, this particular color combination is classified as a limited edition by Hermès." - Melissa Afonso, Expert at Threads Styling
Why a Birkin Bag?
The Origin Story of the Birkin Bag
The design idea for the Birkin Bag emerged during a flight in 1983. Louis Dumas, the former head of the family-owned company Hermès, encountered British actress Jane Birkin while traveling. She was using a straw bag as a handbag. When asked why she used a bag made of bast, the actress replied that conventional handbags were simply too small. Louis Dumas immediately began sketching a trapezoidal bag.
Exclusivity and Rarity in the Hermes Market
Investing in the Exclusive World of Hermès
A Hermès bag isn't just available around the corner. The producer determines who is even allowed to acquire one of these coveted handbags. The production is intentionally limited. Similar to a Rolex watch, buyers must accept waiting times of several years. To bypass these waiting times, customers often turn to the secondary market. Even bags with signs of use after several years still command prices of over 10,000 euros. This underscores the immense scarcity and high demand.
Birkin Bags
A Luxurious Investment Surpassing Traditional Assets
The online portal "Welt" compared the price development of Birkin Bags to that of US stocks and gold, yielding a surprising result. These luxury handbags outperform traditional investments in terms of returns. The annual appreciation of Birkin Bags is 5% higher than that of stocks.
The Early History of the Birkin Bag
It’s difficult to believe now, but the public’s early response to the Birkin bag was underwhelming. Chanel bags dominated the market in the 80s, and the Jane Birkin bag didn’t change that. Hermès’ legendary quality and the meet-cute origin story didn't break through. It wasn’t until the 1990s that the bag inspired by It Girl Jane Birkin became the It Bag.
The Hermès Birkin Ostrich
25 cm in Rose Tyrien is a luxury handbag made of ostrich leather in a vibrant pink color. It is one of the most exclusive and expensive bags from the French brand Hermès. The bag features a classic design with two handles, a flap with straps and a lock, and palladium hardware. The interior is lined with goat leather in the same tone. The bag measures 25 x 20 x 13 cm.

About Marshalands II
In "Marshlands II," the photographer captures one of his most powerful lion photographs in the past decade, paying homage to the remarkable skills of Kevin Richardson, known as The Lion Whisperer. Richardson's unparalleled ability to work with these magnificent cats is celebrated in this image.
The night before the shoot, violent thunderstorms in Dinokeng, South Africa, made sleep nearly impossible. The photographer's excitement, fueled by the anticipation of floodwaters in Kevin's sanctuary, turned the challenging weather into an opportunity. The decision was made to position Kevin's heavy cage in the new marshland at dawn, a challenging task due to the wild nature of the lions.
Recognizing that the only way to approach these wild lions was either through remotes or from a heavy cage, the photographer opted for the latter. Despite adverse water levels ruling out remote control options, the photographer embraced the challenge, getting wet to capture the moment.
The resulting photograph, showcasing an adult male lion in all its majesty, justified the effort and challenges faced during the shoot. It stands as a testament to the photographer's dedication to capturing the essence of these wild and majestic animals.
About Ferrari II
In this photo shoot, the iconic Route 66, symbolizing the American Dream of freedom and ambition, serves as the backdrop near Amboy in the Californian desert. The filmmaker faced the challenge of bringing a fresh perspective to this well-photographed location. To overcome this, a vintage car enthusiast from Hong Kong generously lent his prized possession, the rare 1953 Ferrari 250 MM Vignale Spider. The shoot aimed to metaphorically portray the spirit of Route 66, emphasizing the journey of freedom and ambition. Styled to the mid-1950s, the model, Daniela Braga, exuded positivity and a sense of adventure, echoing the spirit of the famous American highway. The iconic Ferrari added a touch of glamour and elegance to the rugged landscape, creating a captivating visual narrative.

A certified 7.13-carat sapphire in the beloved cornflower blue.
Why Invest in Sapphires?
Tangible Asset
Sapphires are a tangible asset that you can physically possess. Unlike stocks or bonds, you can store and enjoy them in a physical form.
Protection Against Inflation
Similar to other tangible assets like real estate and gold, sapphires can serve as a hedge against inflation. Their value may increase over time and keep pace with or outpace inflation rates.
Portability
Sapphires are highly portable and can be easily transported, making them a potentially valuable asset for international diversification.
Low Correlation
High-quality gemstones have a low correlation with traditional financial markets, meaning their value does not always move in line with stocks, bonds, or other investments. This can be advantageous for diversification purposes.
Low Volatility
The Gemval Aggregate Index (GAV) has had an annual volatility of just under 4% since 2006.
Intrinsic Value
Gemstones have intrinsic value due to their rarity and the resources required for their extraction and processing. This value can provide investors with a certain level of security.
Why This Gemstone?
Focus on Liquidity in Terms of Size and Quality
Sapphires ranging from 4 to 8 carats, which are untreated, are considered high-quality gemstones highly valued in the jewelry industry and therefore liquid. These gemstones are often used in high-end jewelry as they are considered rare and valuable.
High Color Intensity and Highest Clarity
The gemstone exhibits "medium blue," one of the sought after color intensities. The stone is "eye clear," representing the highest quality.
Lower Entry Price
By adopting a direct supply chain, our expert eliminates intermediaries, which should positively impact the return on investment.

For several years now, the wines from the winery have been gaining increasing attention from leading wine critics. As a result, the finest vintages have already seen five-year value increases ranging from 150% to 500%.
Why Investing in Coche-Dury Mersault?
Prestigious Reputation and Collectible White Wines
Coche-Dury, situated in Meursault, Burgundy, is a highly esteemed producer renowned for crafting exceptional white wines from Chardonnay. While they do produce red wines from Pinot Noir, their Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has consistently ranked among the top 100 most expensive wines on Wine-Searcher, making them a sought-after choice for collectors.
For several years now, the wines from the winery have been gaining increasing attention from leading wine critics. As a result, the finest vintages have already seen five-year value increases ranging from 150% to 500%.
Family Heritage and Expanded Vineyard Holdings
Founded in 1973 through the union of Jean-François Coche and Odile Dury, the Coche-Dury Domaine has a rich family history in winemaking in Meursault. The estate has expanded its vineyard holdings beyond Meursault to Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Volnay, and the Corton Grand Cru vineyard. Currently, they manage just over nine hectares, with Meursault accounting for about half of the total area. The winery produces only about 3,500 cases across six different wines. Sealed cases are therefore extremely rare and valuable.
Exclusive Grand Cru and Premier Cru Offerings
Coche-Dury's prestige extends to its exclusive Grand Cru offering, the Corton-Charlemagne. However, the domaine's significance is also evident in its Premier Cru wines from Meursault's Les Charmes and Les Perrières vineyards, ranking among the priciest wines in the Côte de Beaune. The Coche-Dury Meursault holds a place among the most coveted wines in the region.
Traditional Vinification Practices
Remaining committed to tradition, Coche-Dury employs traditional vinification methods. The white wines undergo an aging process of up to 22 months in barrels, with a preference for minimal use of new oak, except for their highest-quality wines. This approach contributes to the distinctive character and quality of Coche-Dury wines.
Passing the Legacy - New Leadership Since 2010
In a transition of generational leadership, Jean-François Coche handed over the day-to-day operations of the estate to his son and daughter-in-law, Raphaël and Charline, in 2010. This succession ensures the continuation of Coche-Dury's legacy, blending expertise with a fresh perspective to maintain the domaine's high standards and reputation.

All of these four casks with 7-year-old whisky have an above-average alcohol content (ABV) of more than 65%.
Why Glenrothes Casks?
History
In 1878, construction began on the site that previously housed a sawmill. James Stewart initiated the distillery's construction, but due to financial difficulties, Robert Dick and William Grant took over, completing the construction and commencing production in December 1879. With a growing demand for whisky, Glenrothes joined forces with Bunnahabhain in 1887 to form Highland Distillers. By 1898, the annual output reached 1.36 million liters, fueled by additional stills.
Fires in 1897 and 1922, along with a near-destruction by explosion in 1903, posed challenges. Despite setbacks, the distillery was repaired or rebuilt each time. The Prohibition, World War I, and the Wall Street Crash of 1929 led to a temporary halt in production, but Glenrothes soon rebounded. Additional stills in 1963 and 1979, coupled with changes in heating methods, marked periods of expansion.
The sale of Glenrothes Vintage 1979 in 1994 marked a turning point. In 1999, the Edrington Group acquired Highland Distillers, including Glenrothes, and in 2010, the rights to the whisky brand were sold to Berry Bros Rudd.
Unique Maturation Process
Glenrothes distinguishes itself by avoiding simple age statements like 10, 12, or 18 years. Instead, the distillery is renowned for its Vintage Releases. The whisky matures in Spanish Sherry casks, with a smaller portion in American oak, achieving an ideal flavor balance. From the tall-necked stills, the light, pure, and fruity new make spirit evolves into a whisky with a mature bouquet of berries and sugared fruits, occasionally showcasing spicy or floral notes. Each Glenrothes Vintage Release has a distinctive aromatic profile, sourced exclusively from whiskies distilled in the same year.
Beyond Vintages
Apart from the core Vintage Releases, additional expressions under the "Reserve" label, such as Glenrothes Sherry Cask Reserve and Glenrothes Alba Reserve, offer diverse flavor experiences.
Natural Setting
Situated at the foot of the Mannoch Hills, Glenrothes Distillery draws water from natural sources named Ardcanny and Brauchhill, which feed the Burn of Rothes. While malting is outsourced to Tamdhu Maltings, located only 12 miles away, Glenrothes handles milling, mashing, and distillation on-site. Notably, the distillery boasts its own cooperage, a rarity in modern times.
The Mashing Process
Glenrothes employs a large mash tun with a copper lid, capable of holding 5 tons. Three hot water cycles extract sugar from the malt during each mashing. The resulting wort is cooled and transferred to washbacks for fermentation. The third water cycle completes the sugar extraction and is reused in the next mashing.
Distillation Artistry
Ten pot stills, comprising five wash stills and five spirit stills, work in pairs at Glenrothes, producing a light, fruity, and elegant new make spirit due to their tall shape. The heart cut constitutes about 20% of the distillate, with a strength of 68-72% ABV.
Unique Cask Filling
Glenrothes fills casks with new make spirit at 68.9% ABV, a higher strength compared to the industry standard. Predominantly employing Sherry casks for the fruity, aromatic profile, the distillery also uses Bourbon casks to achieve a balanced flavor profile. The maturing whisky undergoes thorough monitoring and is selected for bottling at the peak of maturity.

Two works by the emerging artist Raghav Babbar are available. The hammer price for his artworks at auctions in 2023 averaged just under 18 times the estimated value.
Raghav Babbar's Artistry: A Compelling Investment Opportunity
Artistic Distinction and Personal Expression
Raghav Babbar's art stands out as a compelling investment choice due to its unique blend of intensely personal figurative paintings, which draw inspiration from his Indian heritage and the painterly techniques of mid-20th century British art. His lavish application of oil paint creates a rich texture, a testament to his patience in building thick layers. While his technique and relationships with his sitters draw comparisons to British artists of the past, there is more to discover.
Gentle Conversations with Subjects
In addition to the investment potential of Raghav's art, his interactions with his subjects are marked by their gentleness and grace, mirroring his own quiet and unassuming personality. His subjects often come from his circle of friends and family, as well as ordinary individuals leading everyday lives in India's diverse society. He has a unique ability to elevate and dignify them with remarkable empathy and sensitivity, capturing the purest displays of emotion during their everyday actions.
Mastery of Light and Shadows
Raghav's choice to depict subjects in daylight is influenced by the way of life in India, steering clear of the sweltering indoor heat and scorching outdoor sun. The diffused sunlight, under which his subjects often find shelter, casts stark shadows that add poignancy and drama to his compositions, further enriching their emotional depth.
Artistic Evolution and Diverse Techniques
As a young artist, Raghav's style is in a constant state of evolution. He continues to painstakingly build up layers of oil paint, a process that can span up to 15 days before the next layer can be applied. However, certain subjects demand a more immediate and rhythmic approach, prompting him to mix ground chalk with oil paints to expedite the process. His repertoire now extends beyond single figures, encompassing multiple figure compositions, where forms and shapes seamlessly intertwine, and single figure compositions that transition into slightly abstracted patterns, adding variety and depth to his body of work.
Impressive Auction Results
