If toting around a live Chihuahua or mini Foxie in your handbag isn't an option for you, then perhaps these incredibly realistic, limited-edition poodle bags could serve as the next best thing.

Designed by Basia Zarzycka, the life-like poodle bags are made from exclusive leathers, sheepskin fleece and feature a [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-swipe) crystal zip.

With only ten of each style available, the £10,000 price tag matches the bags exclusivity.

Be warned though, these bags are so realistic that if you take one out in public, you are likely to have [PETA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pawer-grip-primer-dog-toy) protesters on your tail.
