Bugatti Collection is expensive, but not Veyron-expensive
In the fantastic world in which Bugatti lives, there are two kinds of people: those who can afford a Veyron, and those who cannot. Most of us fall into the latter category, but those who fall into the former certainly have cash to spare (to say the least). For both, the most exclusive of exotic automakers has launched the Bugatti Collection.
The line at launch is quite limited, but includes such items as polo shirts, a jacket, a keychain and an umbrella. Of course, all of the Bugatti items are appropriately priced for the company's super-rich clientele, but even a thousand-euro leather duffle bag is a far cry from the price of a new Veyron – especially the new Grand Sport roadster.
You can check out the new Bugatti Collection at its dedicated website, which is currently only in German... so enjoy the window shopping like you were on vacation.

Some very nice looking stuff. Expensive, and not worth it, but nice.

i must have done the conversion wrong because there is no way someone would pay $18,000 for a polo shirt.

You did do your conversions wrong. That is EUR119 (in german you use a comma instead of a decimal point). So that would be about US$180 or so.
I guess not a terrible deal considering Ralph Lauren polo t-shirts cost about that much in Europe.

Yeah the prices aren't THAT bad, no worse than any other designer clothing, and I actually really think these items look nice and would not mind having some of the stuff. To bad I can not justify paying over $30 (maybe not even that much) for a polo.

The 100 EUR keyring doesn't seem like a good value at all next to the 270 EUR umbrella.
The hat actually isn't outrageously priced :/

Why would a duffle bag cost as much as a car?

You mean Corrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrinthian leather. You have to rrrrrrrrrroll your r's if you want to gain any respect from Ricardo.

You know, that stuff isn't as expensive as I thought it would be. It's almost, ALMOST reasonable for such high quality (I'd hope) items. It's no more than the Ferrari stuff.

Not knocking the people that buys these sorts of things, but they aren't generally the people that can actually afford something like the Veyron. Just check out the people wearing the Ferrari T-shirts :P
