Vending Machines Go Luxe

Posted in Technology by Sloane Kelley on April 29th, 2009

Forget about popping in a dollar for some sugary candy. This machine from U*tique dispenses sweet items of a different sort, like Bliss hand cream, Vosges Haut-Chocolat and Aira Mink eyelashes.

While the first U*tique has been launched at Fred Segal in Santa Monica, I can see something like this living in airports where ladies on a time crunch could pick up forgotten or must-have items quickly. Plus, the automated store offers interactive product information and even samples. As the U*tique site proclaims, “Time is a luxury.”

Should you be at Fred Segal and not want to wait in line or bother with a salesperson, there are 50 items in the automated store, ranging in price from $5 to $160.
