Couture Fruit from Japan Becomes a More Popular Luxury Gift
Lots of people say that they prefer luxurious experiences to a more traditional luxury purchase, like designer fashion. So, where does eating $50 strawberries fit into that mix? There’s a long tradition of giving highly cultivated and shockingly expensive fruit as a luxury gift in Japan. Now, thanks to a company called Oishii Berry, the pricey haute couture produce trend has arrived in America from Japan, with the launch of the “Tesla of strawberries.” They run just over $6 each. How much would you pay for a strawberry, dear reader, if it was really, really good? We’re thinking that this is a dazzling romantic gift idea. ‘Cause nothing says “I love you” like expensive produce.
