It doesn’t look like much from afar, but up close this Gucci Britt Medium Purse is just gorgeous. The gold leather is adorned with the famous GG print, and the large GG logo adds just the right amount of modest gleam. I love the hint of striped fabric, in shades of mustard, plum and mocha, resting behind the logo - it’s unexpected and just barely detectable, but it gives this Gucci tote a down-to-earth feel that complements the gold perfectly. Available for $1695 at Neiman Marcus.

Renowned for luxe, utterly chic purses, Lauren Merkin has the sort of lasting credibility that most designers dream of. In a short period of time, she’s made a huge splash with her timeless creations. A great example of her genius is the Large Plum Tote, an ultra-functional tote available in a wide variety of styles. From the distressed look of the vintage version to the sharp black and perfect-for-fall cognac, the carryall offers something for everyone - and plenty of space for every little thing you carry. Pockets abound, so you’ll never find yourself digging hopelessly for change or the pesky gloss that’s always hiding somewhere. Prices range from $425 to $575. Available at Lauren Merkin.

Can a four-legged creature have a more luxurious ride? The hidden pooch here is snuggled up next to Celebrity arm candy Vanessa Minnillo in a Gucci Dog Carrier. While there are plenty of people out there whose cars probably don’t cost this much, this little pup gets to sleep/poop in exquisitely tanned Italian leather. Gucci certainly takes luxury up a few notches for all creatures, bipeds or not. Judging from Ms. Minnillo’s outfit, (top from Plenty, jeans) she truly loves that canine, as that carrier probably costs about 8 times as much as everything she has on herself.
