Luxury

French handbag manufacturer Goyard has made headlines recently for its book release. Why, you might ask? It's easy: the book costs $7,000. The book - which is dedicated to celebrating the 1920s as the golden age of luxury travel - is limited edition, with only 233 copies in print. Each bears a number to signify its rarity and comes in a customizable Goyard trunk (packaging well worth the price.).

Maison E. Goyard was established in 1853 by François Goyard strictly as a luggage manufacturer. In the early 1900s, Goyard opened up the line to include a department designated for dogs, cats and monkeys (designers' love for their pets goes way back, it seems). Roughly a century later, the company was purchased by the Signoles family and launched a line of brand-new colors.

Now, Goyard handbags start at a thousand dollars and only go up in price from there. Given celebrities' penchant for anything wildly out of a normal price range, it comes as no surprise that the bags has been spotted on the arms of dozens of stars, from Kanye West to Hilary Duff.

These two ladies have some seriously stellar curves that they're never shy about flaunting. Case in point: both sported this emerald green Pucci dress from the fall 2011 collection. Jennifer Lopez rocked the look a few weeks ago, when The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were in L.A. attending the BAFTA Brits to Watch benefit. Then there's Drew Barrymore, posing like a true Hollywood starlet in Neiman Marcus' latest fall campaign.

While J.Lo did daring (skin-tight cut-outs aren't exactly Royal Family friendly), Barrymore did screen siren sultry. Who do you think has the sexiest Pucci swagger?
