There are over 60 items available for purchase, including crazy straws in sterling silver, rose vermeil and vermeil for £330 ($430), an American walnut and sterling silver yoyo for £285, a sterling silver tin can for £945, a crystal glass and sterling silver Apple box for £285, a silver ruler for £425, and the piece de resistance; a sterling silver ball of yarn, yours for just over $11,000.
The ball of yarn is crafted out of “handspun strands of textured sterling silver” and is a limited edition of only five.
The company described the luxury Homes & Accessories collection as possessing “a whimsical wink that is quintessentially Tiffany”, though many have been quick to criticise the high prices of the items, as well as question the choice of objects themselves.
The collection comes at the end of a tumultuous year for Tiffany, after its chief executive officer was abruptly replaced by Alessandro Bogliolo, the former Diesel SpA executive and Ralph Lauren’s Corp. executive Roger Farah was appointed chairman.
