French fashion house Saint Laurent is known for creating extravagant accessories, but their latest product is perhaps the most luxurious of all — a $44,000 vinyl record player. This one-of-a-kind record player is produced by Rive Droite, the brainchild of Saint Laurent's creative director Anthony Vaccarello (a subsidiary of the YSL brand that produces limited-edition items). Pierre Riffaud, who has been designing turntables for VIPs and music professionals since the 1980s, had a hand in the manufacture of the turntable. He is known for creating technically advanced and beautifully designed equipment. This turntable has a stunning 100% handmade marble base and hand-operated controls, ensuring perfect contact and balance between hand and record. And while it is designed as a classic vinyl record player, it also features more modern details such as Bluetooth, multi-room Wi-Fi, and an analog amplifier.
