Kale Miles’ black leather belt may “cost more than a car,” but you’re mainly paying for the buckle. Available in three styles, each is made of “about 7 to 8 ounces” of platinum, which usually goes for $1,600 an ounce. The leather, supplied by an English tannery “founded during the Roman Empire,” is taken “from a specific spot on a particular breed of cow.” Far from being flashy, this is luxury so understated it’s “inaudible.” Price: $18,000
