THE GHOST
A shadow is silent, yet ever-present.
It moves without sound, yet never fades.
The Ghost is not seen: it is felt.
The Ghost is more than a handbag: it is the most technologically advanced wearable art form ever made. Fitted with GPS tracking, motion sensors, wireless charging, contactless payment, and custom fibre-optic constellation mood lighting, it is a feat of high design and hidden innovation.
Available in Bodin Joyeux Plongé lambskin or exquisite alligator skin, it is finished with handcrafted embroidery, and presented in a levitating display case inspired by the 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom. The Ghost is a seamless fusion of craft, technology, and theatre.
This is a new language of luxury; one that listens, lights, remembers and evolves.
THE GHOST - A CREATION BEYOND COMPARE
Each commission is a singular masterpiece, an unrepeatable expression of artistry, crafted from the world’s most exquisite materials, both inside and out.
To own The Ghost is to possess a work of functional art, an heirloom of unrivalled beauty that transcends time.
THE GHOST - THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION
With a creation process spanning four months per handbag, these pieces are not simply made: they are sculpted, refined, and perfected.
In the world of ultra-luxury, even a Rolls-Royce is built in less time.
"The most beautiful evening handbag ever created.
A journey almost a decade in the making." - HRH Arfaq
THE GHOST - STUNNING BESPOKE ART FROM EVERY ANGLE
A choice of the most luxurious interior and exterior finishes, so each commission is unique, never to be created again.
When you own The Ghost, you own a piece of functional art that will astound you with its beauty for a lifetime.
THE GHOST - BREATHTAKINGLY ENGINEERED
The Ghost is a 28.7cm wide evening handbag with breath-taking beauty.
It's engineered from the finest materials in the world.
ENGINEERED ART
Expression of Possibility:
Hand painted in silver leaf and diamond star paint which is made from over 200 crushed diamonds. The finish is Tuscan Green.
FACE TO FACE WITH ART
HRH Arfaq believes that true collaboration begins only where compromise ends. In this spirit, The Ghost stands as a monument to uncompromising quality; a place where heritage, technology and artistic vision converge.
"We have pushed these already great artisans to even greater heights.
To achieve a level of perfection and sublime detail which has never been seen in the world of bespoke luxury, you must be fearless." - HRH Arfaq
THE CREST: AN EXPRESSION OF ARTISTRY AND LEGACY
At the heart of The Ghost lies a singular masterpiece: the bespoke crest.
Each one is a work of pure art, brought to life through hours of meticulous, hand-finished craftsmanship by the world’s leading artisans. No two are alike. Every detail is tailored to reflect the uniqueness of its owner, turning tradition into a personal emblem of style and excellence.
Each crest is entirely made by hand to the customer’s specifications, matching your individual handbag, hallmarked in platinum, 18ct yellow or white gold and set with brilliant white, intense pink and black diamonds.
The artisan craftspeople have created something truly unique, that will stand now as part of history. HRH Arfaq's belief is that the room for cooperation can only exist when there is no room for compromise on execution of quality.
THE HANDLE: HOLDING ART
Precision engineering redefined. The handle of The Ghost is more than a functional element: it is wearable sculpture. Clients may choose from an array of materials—luxurious leathers, exotic skins, and bespoke finishes—or elevate the design with precious stones.
Diamond-encrusted handles are available in:
VVS fancy intense pink natural diamonds
Fancy yellow natural diamonds
A-grade black diamonds
VVS D colour white diamonds
Each handle is crafted in 18ct gold and set with up to 2,868 stones totalling 144 carats, all GIA-certified. Every stone is placed with precision, every piece finished to exacting world-class standards.
HERMÈS CUIRS PRÉCIEUX - THE VAULT
Established in 1923, Cuirs Précieux was later acquired by luxury fashion house Hermès. Operating only in Paris, Milan and New York almost exclusively for the high-end fashion industry.
The artisan craftspeople at HCP work all their leathers and skins by hand. They use techniques passed from generation to generation. It takes years for the craft to be learned and to match the expectations of the truly discerning clientele.
Their showroom is only opened by strict appointment and invitation.
They were exclusively appointed by HRH Arfaq to work on project Ghost.
MATERIAL INNOVATION - THE OUTER FORM REIMAGINED
The Ghost handbag is not bound by convention. While many choose the finest leathers or exotic skins, others seek something more unexpected, more personal. For those clients, the exterior becomes a canvas for extraordinary materials rarely seen in fashion.
From hand-polished wood veneers, inspired by the interiors of grand touring cars and private yachts, to lacquered finishes, brushed metals, and textured resins, each surface tells a different story of taste, touch and individuality.
SURFACES REINVENTED
Every material is chosen not only for its beauty but for its resonance with the wearer. Whether it's the warm depth of walnut burl, the luminous grain of sycamore, or the mirrored sheen of piano black lacquer, each finish is meticulously applied and sealed to the highest standard, ensuring durability without compromise on elegance.
For those drawn to natural elements, stone inlays, woven silks, or crystal-embedded composites are also available, pushing the boundaries of what a handbag can be, while never departing from the principles of refined luxury.
THE CABIN – A SANCTUARY OF UNPARALLELED LUXURY
Inside The Ghost, the interior, known as the Cabin, is a sanctuary of softness and detail. It reflects the same devotion to excellence found in every external curve.
Lined with Plongé lambskin, considered the most luxurious leather in the world, rare silks and mink fur, the Cabin delivers an extraordinary tactile richness.
For those who desire a more intimate reflection of self, the Inner Horizon forms the backdrop of the Cabin, an elegant surface that may be rendered in rare materials and bespoke finishes, each one a mirror of personal taste and character.
THE CABIN
Clients may choose bespoke hand-painted silks, whisper-light and richly detailed, or explore a broader palette of materials, from embroidered satins and woven natural fibres to exquisite suede.
Every choice is curated with the same reverence for craftsmanship and emotion, transforming the interior into a deeply personal sanctuary.
THE CABIN
To complete the narrative of contrasts, the Cabin may be finished with accents of Wenge wood, a dark, complex timber chosen for its natural strength and tone.
Together, these elements form a hidden realm of elegance, crafted not for display, but for the private joy of the one who knows what they carry.
A COCOON OF ELEGANCE
Your dust bag will be produced in the finest Saga Royal mink, hand-stitched and delicately embroidered with silk, gold, and silver threads.
Lined in softness, wrapped in grace, it is not simply protection: it is a cocoon of elegance.
By special request we can produce your dust bags in Loro Piana cashmeres, fine linens and silks.
A final gesture of devotion for a handbag born from love and destined to be cherished.
THE LAST WHISPER OF LUXURY
The design is the vision between HRH Arfaq and Quentin Veron, the celebrated Parisian couturier known for his daring use of texture and his reverence for tradition. Appointed by the house, his touch brings a sense of theatre and sensuality to each piece, transforming even the humble dust bag into an objet d’art.
With every fold and fibre, his artistry whispers of ceremony, secrecy and seduction.
“Working with Arfaq is like dressing an idea in emotion, every piece begins as a dream and ends as a story you can touch.”
QUENTIN VÉRON
A DIALOGUE OF ICONS
In keeping with Arfaq’s vision of elevating even the unseen, selected dust bags are offered in collaboration with the world’s most revered houses.
From Loro Piana, whose peerless cashmeres and silks embody timeless refinement, to Lalique, whose mastery of crystal has been reinterpreted as delicate buttons or closures. These considered details transform the protective case into an heirloom of its own.
Quentin Véron’s creations have long blurred the line between couture and art, earning him a reputation as one of Paris’s most daring and imaginative designers. His vision brings a theatrical sensibility to the finest materials, reimagining fur, fabric, and fibre with an unrivalled sense of drama and grace.
Appointed by HRH Arfaq, his artistry elevates the dust bag beyond its function, shaping it into a symbol of reverence, an intimate stage where tradition, fantasy, and luxury meet.
LEVITATION
THEATRE IN DESIGN
The Levitation Box is no ordinary presentation case: it's a stage, a sculpture, a moment of theatre designed to honour The Ghost.
Hand-assembled and engineered to perfection, it is offered in Corian stone, marble, or rosewood, with carbon fibre available for those who desire the most bespoke expression.
PERFECTION IN MOTION
Every cog, every gear, every mechanism is crafted to watchmaker standards of accuracy, ensuring that the box does not simply open: it performs. The choreography of movement reflects HRH Arfaq’s singular vision, where mechanics become poetry and engineering becomes art.
A STORY REVEALED
As the Levitation Box unfolds, its inner workings align with flawless precision. Hidden within the design, a message engraved into the cogs themselves emerges only when the assembly is complete.
It is a secret shared only with the owner, a final gesture of intimacy and devotion that transforms the act of opening into an unforgettable experience.
THE INSPIRATION
All of the mechanics within the Levitation Case may be crafted in 18ct yellow, rose, or white gold: each component as precious as it is precise. Inside, the case is upholstered in St James’s Red or Beluga Black hide, colours chosen for their timeless depth and regal authority.
The design itself takes inspiration from the iconic 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom, a symbol of grace in motion. Illuminated by a subtle Guards Red glow, the box exudes a theatrical elegance.
With a single touch, its twin doors rise and slide outward, powered by gravity and engineered cantilevers; an effortless levitation that turns mechanics into magic.
TRUE INNOVATION IN DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY
The Ghost intertwines its aesthetic majesty with the application of high-end technology, breathing an extravagant soul to the beautiful exterior of the piece. Teardrop lighting is fitted into the handle, which lights up at a touch.
We have implemented a global tracking system and motion tracking, which is fitted seamlessly into the handbag interior. The system is linked to a specially developed mobile application which allows you to track your handbag in real time.
This is a truly groundbreaking achievement, with The Ghost being the first handbag in the world to have geolocation technology implemented within it.
SEAMLESS ENTRY
True innovation is realised in the moments you never notice.
With The Ghost, the very act of unlocking your car becomes a gesture of elegance. Discreetly integrated within the handbag is a keyless entry system, engineered to communicate securely with your vehicle.
With a subtle wave, doors open as if by intuition, no searching, only a smooth continuation of your presence.
It is technology concealed within artistry, a fusion of precision engineering and timeless design.
EFFORTLESS DRIVE
The Ghost does more than open doors: it carries you further.
With its integrated Keyless Go technology, the handbag itself becomes the ignition. Slip into the driver’s seat, and without reaching for a key, your car recognises your presence.
With a simple press, the engine awakens, and the journey begins.
No intrusion, no interruption—just the seamless transition from handbag to highway.
Every detail has been engineered to ensure absolute security, merging advanced automotive innovation with the elegance of haute luxury.
FIBRE OPTIC MOOD LIGHTING
Incorporated into the base of the handbag is interior lighting to create the perfect ambience.
The mood lighting can be programmed to match your favourite location, anywhere in the world, including restaurants, theatres and other venues, as well as cars. We will pre-programme your bag to match the interior lighting wherever you plan to be.
SHOOTING STAR - A PERSONAL WELCOME LIKE NO OTHER
When you open your handbag, a shooting star will fly across the starlight interior to welcome you. You can request a particular fibre optic constellation to commemorate a special date.
It took over a year to develop this and was originally inspired by the Rolls-Royce starlight roof.
UNCOMPROMISING PROTECTION - LUXURY IN ANY WEATHER
The Ghost is fully protected with specially developed Teflon, shielding it from rain and humidity. It is truly designed to be enjoyed in all weathers.
THE CERTIFICATE BOX
While your Ghost handbag is being crafted, you will receive something equally extraordinary: its companion in legacy: the Certificate Box.
Conceived by HRH Arfaq and brought to life by the master artisans at Sonderegger, this is no ordinary certificate of authenticity. It is a handcrafted marvel; an origami of artistry and engineering, housed within a sculpted case of rare wood veneers, precision-fitted like a fine humidor and trimmed in the softest hides and Alcantara.
The interior detailing, from bespoke stitching to luxury finishes, ensures your certificate rests in sublime security.
