FalianaLuxury, examined

Twelve working tools

Instruments

Twelve instruments for the decisions luxury actually asks of you: cost per wear, a capsule that closes, the order your serums go on in, a diamond budget that holds, a case that suits your wrist, a fragrance family that suits your skin. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type ever leaves it.

Fashion

The coat you keep

Cost per wear

The purchase price, plus care and repair, minus resale, divided by the wearings you will honestly get. The only figure that says whether a garment was expensive.

Capsule builder

Pick a colour spine and fill fourteen slots. The instrument counts the outfits that actually work and names the orphan pieces that connect to nothing.

Routine sequencer

Tick what is on your shelf. The instrument sorts it into a morning and an evening in the correct order and flags the combinations that cancel one another out.

Fragrance finder

Six questions about weather, occasion and what you have liked before, and a family to test rather than a bottle to buy.

Jewelry

Cut before carat

Diamond budget

Enter a budget and the metal colour. The instrument allocates it across the four grades in the order that produces the best stone to look at, and draws the result to scale.

Ring size and setting

Convert a circumference or the diameter of a ring you own into every national sizing system, and match a setting to how you actually use your hands.

Cost of ownership

Purchase price plus servicing across the years you intend to own it, against the quartz and the do nothing alternatives. The number the price tag leaves out.

Lifestyle

Fewer, better, used

Care calendar

Tell it what you own and it returns a year of maintenance: when to condition, when to store, when to have prongs checked and when to do nothing at all.

Travel

Ten days, one bag

Packing planner

Trip length, climate and what you will actually be doing, turned into a list that fits a cabin bag and produces an outfit for every day.

The Friday file

One material, one number, one thing worth knowing

A short letter on Fridays: a single material examined, the arithmetic behind a purchase people get wrong, and the one line from the week worth keeping. No offers, because there is nothing to sell.
