As Louis Vuitton plans to raise the prices of its handbags, we look at the fantasy bags that you can buy online... all with the click of a mouse and a generous credit card limit

Alligator Day Luxe Tote, £24,218 by The Row from Barneys[2]
Luxurious indeed; this tote retails at $39,000 and actually can't be shipped to the UK because its hefty price tag exceeds the maxiumum price for shipping. But if you really want this piece of arm candy, you may as well charter a private jet to go and pick it up in Manhattan.
Soft stirrup crocodile shoulder bag, £21,440 by Gucci[3]
If you want an exotic skin, you'd better be prepared to pay for it. The naturally-sourced crocodile for this bag is complemented with antique golsd hardware and of course, it's made in Italy.
Alligator Ricky Bag, £17,145 by Ralph Lauren from Harrods[4]
Heiresses will love Ralph Lauren's Ricky bag, which is named after the designer's loyal wife. Crafted in Italy using alligator skin, it's topped off with metal hardware and a generous dose of interior pockets.
Artsy MM bag, £6,400 by Louis Vuitton[5]
For the price of a small, new car, you could invest in a slice of Louis Vuitton's 'boho' style. This python-made bag comes with a lambskin lining and a bag charm. Bargain.
Ostrich leather tote, £6,100 by Prada[6]
Lovers of understated luxury will fall for this discreet Prada tote.
Suffolk Pheasant in Green Ostrich, £5,000 by Mulberry[7]
Mulberry's bags might have a wide appeal, but certain of its price tags certainly don't. This bags is perfect for the ultimate British lady that likes to lunch.
Betty Borsa Mini embellished leather shoulder bag. £4,250 by Saint Laurent from MyTheresa[8]
Finally, a bag with some serious bling! This Saint Laurent style is described as a 'treasure trove of trinket-adorned cool' and we're inclined to agree.
Hard metal clutch, £4250 by Victoria Beckham[9]
This looks like an elegant cigarette box, but it is in fact a clutch made from alligator skin and gold metal, as conceived by Posh Spice herself, Victoria Beckham.
Degradé crocodile box clutch, £5,385, by Bottega Veneta from Matchesfashion[10]
Remember that all good things come in small packackes, and Bottega Veneta's 16.5cm-long clutch is no different. Lined in grey suede, it features the brand's signature gold matt-metal knot top clasp.
Jypsiere 28 in Orange Taurillon, £4,420 by Hermes[11]
If you're going to splash out on an Hermès bag, you can do worse than to go for the brand's signature shade of orange. This cross-body style is perfect for women on the run - (but perhaps not ideal to actually go running around with).
