Dunhill, the English leather goods maker, has worked with then Bentley Design Team to create a five-piece luggage set. Huzzah! Not only does the fluting on the bags echo the fluting on your Arnage's seats, but the luggage trim is done in knurled aluminum. The entire set consists of a briefcase, large and small suitcases, a washbag, and a weekend bag. You can expect to pay £4,300, before options. But then, if you're an Arnage owner, you're probably more concerned with finding out if you can get leather to match your seats. Check out the gallery below for more photos.

Dunhill Provenance CufflinksMuch like the Sex Panther cologne in Anchorman, which was "made with bits of real panther," Alfred Dunhill's enthusiast-oriented Provenance cufflinks are shaped like miniature Ferrari 250 GTOs, and are made of actual Ferrari 250 GTO aluminum body panels. Worry not, friends, as we're quite certain that Dunhill isn't wantonly slaughtering GTOs for the sole purpose of keeping French cuffs stylishly managed. A few panels were probably enough to make a full production run of the limited-edition baubles, which are as close to actual Ferrari GTO ownership as some buyers are going to get. With a price tag of $1800, even that subset of customers will assuredly be among the very well-heeled.

Responsible drivers usually keep the same few things in their trunk in case of an emergency: a set of jumper cables, a flashlight and some road flares. (What, you don't?) The trouble is, for the style-conscious motorist, that the cardboard box or egg crate in which this emergency equipment is held is an unsightly presence in the boot of a high-end luxury, performance or classic automobile.

Enter Dunhill with the solution. The company makes all manner of motoring accessory, its founder Alfred Dunhill having been quoted as declaring that his company offers "everything for the car but the motor". That might be a bit of a stretch, but Dunhill's emergency equipment kits puts those essential pieces together in one stylish yet durable canvas bag, trimmed in leather, that would look at home even in the trunk of your pristine Aston or Benz. Likewise, it's price is proportionately higher than your local Wal-Mart's car repair kit at €850.

The Paris show was the perfect venue for Lamborghini to take the wraps off the stunning special-edition Murcielago created together with famous Italian design house Versace. But that wasn't the first such crossover between the worlds of wheels and fashion. Men.Style.com, the online portal of eminent style mags GQ and Details has put together a portfolio of some of history's most memorable "designer automobiles". Most of them feature special interiors accompanied by the appropriate badging on the outside to let everyone know you're riding in super-style.

Included on the list are several efforts from now-defunct AMC: a 1972 Javelin by Pierre Cardin, a '73 Gremlin by Levi's, and a '74 Matador Coupe by Oleg Cassini. Cadillac and Gucci also put together a very special (and very pimpin') Seville in '79. Alfred Dunhill and Aston Martin made a perfect match on the 1998 DB7, of which only 150 bespoke editions were made. The 2000 Joseph Abboud edition of the Buick Regal, meanwhile, was a less inspiring example. Armani's collaboration with Mercedes on the 2003 CLK convertible seems more on-target. And lastly, Men.Style.com closed with the Versace Lambo.

There are a few more examples we could think of that were left off the list. In the 90's especially Ford was turning out Eddie Bauer editions of the Explorer and other SUVs. Sister-company Mercury also teamed up with Nautica for a yellow-pinstriped navy-and-white Villager minivan. Lexus had a partnership with premium leather-goods brand Coach that turned out a range of special-edition ES, RX and LS models.

Can think of more? We invite you to add to the list in the comments section.

Thanks to Dunhill, maker of various tobacco products, cigar aficionados need not fret about a lack of stuff to smoke in their Maybach. Dunhill's Maybach Smoker's Set comes complete with a leather-trimmed travel humidor, lighter and cigar cutter capable of being operated with one hand (because that makes trimming your cigar and driving at the same time safe, of course). Though if you have a Maybach, chances are you don't want the snipped-off end tumbling down into one of those cramped niches where French fries end up in the kinds of cars the rest of us drive, so that idea may be a non-starter. At any rate, we're not sure how much the package costs, but if you can afford a Maybach, chances are you don't care.

Thanks to Noah for the tip.
