The delicate red lacquer floral pattern that adorns the cone and the turquoise resin cabochon at the base are reminiscent of the Hawaiian shirts he wore off stage. Its gold- plated clip is in the shape of another trademark item – one of his extravagant scarves is elegantly wrapped around the cap. Price: RM9,400
