How could you describe a capricorn?
Capricorns will always reach their goal, no matter what. They are determined and successful. Also modest and charitable. Maybe a little bit self-willed, but still kind-hearted. A dependable person whom you can trust and rely on. They don't like to insist their advices on others, but if you ask for one, then they won't hesitate to help you. Capricorn isn't a carefree merrymaker type, more like aspiring for the more upper society circle. He won't try to impress anyone, he's more of a conservative spectator. From the first glance you see him, you think that he doesn't have a chance to win against all the other captivating, noisy, aggressive and fussy personalities around him. Though he does win. Typical Capricorn's hard-headed and balanced nature makes him amazingly durable and gives him a strong vitality. Capricorn, who wants to avoid illness, has to find himself a lot of activity in fresh air. Pitch-black and dark blue, that expresses discipline and formality, brown that represents practicality and dark green that reflects her earthly dreams are most notably his flag colors.
What is the tastiest and most quality brand of Darjeeling tea?
The term ‘best quality brand’ is open to interpretation. We will interpret it as “the brand that sells the highest quality tea at the best prices”. Our answer is limited to brands from India, although we will touch upon a couple from outside as well.The minute we say “best tea”, we have to automatically remove brands that focus on tea bags. In other words, Tetley, Taj Mahal, Lipton, etc. don’t qualify. After all, tea bags make low quality tea.“Best tea” means “loose leaf tea”. Loose leaf tea is rarely available in India. The only places where you’d find it are:5-star hotels such as the Taj Mahal Palace (Mumbai) or Taj Palace (New Delhi). Teas here are super expensive (upwards of Rs. 250 per cup) and unbranded. They are not good value for money as a result.Tea rooms/houses/cafes/stores such as TWG. Their products are world class — but once again, super expensive and so not good value for money.Online stores. This is the best place to find loose leaf teas that are good value for money.We’ve already whittled this answer to Tea > Loose leaf tea > Online stores.There are a few online stores where you can buy premium loose leaf teas. In particular, you should have a look at any or all of:Upton Tea (USA)Smith Teamaker (USA)Chai & Mighty (India): Focuses on curated blends and fresh, premium, single estate loose leaf teas.Our products are sold at 5-star hotels across the country — validating the fact that our products are genuinely 5-star.More importantly, we are well-priced. Therefore, the value that we offer is unmatched.We are able to offer such value because we’re a small team, comprising people (all of whom are partners) with experience of more than 150 years in the tea industry.Our team has several generation old relationships with the best tea estates in India, giving us first preference in sourcing the best teas in the country. This not only allows us to price our products fairly, but it also allows us to remove everybody else in the supply chain from producer to consumer. Had we not removed the other players in this chain, each of them would have commanded a small margin, which would have eventually been tacked on to the consumer — which does not happen in our case.
Women's Fashion and Style: In the world of designer handbags and purses, which brand name is considered higher-end: Hermès or Louis Vuitton?
As an ex-Vuitton employee, I've seen Louis Vuitton come a long way in varying their product offerings and price points. There are so many different lines from the Monogram (the brown canvas "LV") to the top-end leather Suhali; the bags range from several hundred to roughly $5000. The luggage is considerably higher, starting at about $1000 to $60,000 for trunks. Custom pieces go much, much higher. LVMH (the parent company) opens more stores worldwide everyday, and their profits soar yearly; their expansion plans are focusing on growth areas such as Asia, India, the Middle East. As such, most of their better selling products are not made in France but in Spain and the U.S. Hermes is a different beast. It is indeed the ne plus ultra of the leather world. Their business operates in the direct opposite of LVMH; limit production of their handbags, hand make them by artisans, and control production of quality and distribution. As noted by Mr. Garcia above, Hermes uses saddle stitching on their bags (all done by hand); as a saddlery/bridlery, this is the core of their business. Luggage, handbags, clothing, and accessories are an offshoot of this business. Regarding the purchase of a Birkin bag, yes, it is very difficult if you are not a regular customer. You will rarely, if ever, see a Birkin on the sales floor of a Hermes store for sale. Hermes saves these bags for their customers who buy their ready-to-wear, who are regular customers with whom they have established relationships. The wait list is largely a myth, but there is a huge black market for Birkin bags because so few people can get their hands on one without jumping through hoops. As for pricing, it depends on the size, material, metal, and sometimes even the color of the bag (we'll just use Birkins as an example). A "30" (cm), leather bag can start in the $7000 range. A "35" to "40" goes up to $14,000. And exotic skin, such as goat or ostrich, is usually made in a "30", but sometimes in a "35", and they start in the $17,000 range. Alligator starts in a "25", usually is made in a "30" for about $32,000, and I have seen a few "35"'s. I have only seen one "40" alligator, and it was $60,000. But the most expensive Birkin I saw was in the Paris store: it was a "35" croc, black, with diamond closure, and it was 250,000 Euros. Euros. No one took that sucker off the shelf.
How does a brand like ZARA manage to come under the category of a luxury brand even though the pricing is not that high?
Zara doesn't fall under the category of a luxury brand. Even for a luxury brand, high price is not a must. But that's for another time. Zara created fast fashion and keeps their quantities per style low for faster sketch pad to shelf turnaround. Thus, ensuring limited availability, which is a feature a luxury brand traditionally must possess. Of course Zara basics are manufactured in masses, and many luxury brands today stand diffused.

I am consedering a vasectomy. If you had it done, can you describe the experience? Is it worth it?
It's an office procedure done under local anesthetic. It painless until recovery. The amount of pain and recovery time varies from person to person. Mine took about 3 days with an ice bag in the groin. Some people feel better much sooner. Resting and pain control are the only recovery issues. There are no changes to sexual performance after the procedure. Some studies suggest an increase in the risk of prostate cancer after vasectomy.
What makes brands such as Kate Spade so expensive?
They use price as a marketing strategy… it’s exclusive, and so they make it expensive. Ok, they also have top quality, well-made merchandise, but that’s not the key marketing element.You aren’t going to find Kate Spade at Walmart. The only people who will buy it are those who have too much money and want to flout it.It’s the same strategy that BMW and Mercedes use. Their cars aren’t that much better than a Chevy, but you’d never guess that from the price.Their marketing is aimed at creating an exclusive, high-class image. Want to look like a celebrity? Want to appear to be wealthy and influential? Drive a BMW and wear Kate Spade.Most of the very wealthy people I know don’t fall for this stuff. They buy top quality merchandise, but always look for a sale. Brand names mean nothing to them.
