Hermès has finally answered the question of, 'How can I feel richer than everyone else in this ski resort?' by branching out into ski wear. The offerings thus far include eight essentials for women, like a printed silk neck gaiter ($1,000), white canvas pants with leather trim ($2,450) and a down jacket ($4,475).

All in, you'd have to spend upwards of $10,000 to be slope-ready in head-to-toe Hermès. And that doesn't count mittens, goggles, socks, boots or skis. Still, you can't really put a cost on the feeling of flying down a mountain in the Swiss Alps while looking perfectly put-together in your cream canvas and leather, can you? Just don't fall, because none of this is machine washable. Not that you care.
