8. Palm Springs Backpack by Louis Vuitton

10Best contributor Melanie Reffes daydreams, “Should I ever win the lottery, I’d make a beeline to the Vuitton store on 5th Ave in New York and treat myself to the Palm Springs backpack.”

This luxurious twist on a practical staple is undoubtedly not your children’s backpack! The bag is fashioned from iconic Monogram-coated canvas, trimmed in soft cowhide with a foam backing and accented with gold-tone hardware. The two adjustable leather shoulder straps for backpack wear are backed in foam for comfort.
