Exclusive treasures

As the modern appetite for the instant and the disposable grows, conversely, so does the modern desire for something ever more unique. Newly launched website http://www.20ltd.com/ is championing the special - by offering only twenty different limited edition pieces for sale at any time. With everything from jewellery and clothing to wallpaper to motorbikes available, it's the place to go if you're looking to invest in something unspeakably rare and wonderful. "We wanted to create somewhere original and exciting online where you could find a massively diverse collection of really authentic, ingenious and beautiful things - a kind of real-time online V&A with the added frisson that you could actually buy what was on display," says managing director Jolyon Fenwick. "It's our belief that there's surely nothing more noble than inventing and crafting things as well as they can be made." Log onto http://www.20ltd.com/ to find out what's currently on offer. Every single piece has been created exclusively for the site and with names such as Emilio Pucci, Derek Lam, Longchamp, Theo Fennell, Stephen Webster and Oliver Goldsmith onboard, there's no chance you'll be disappointed - unless you miss the deadline, of course.
