As if Leica cameras weren't already beautiful enough: this Leica M7 has gone haute-couture with the collaborative touch of Hermès.

There are only 200 worldwide of these shiny shooters. And Vlad Dusil, tech lead of the high fashion-focused site Purse Blog, managed to get ahold of one of these lovely darlings.

Mind you that this M7 model it is not digital but has a 35mm film M-body. Packaged in the type of wine-colored, silky box only reserved for the finest of things, the M7 body is accompanied by a silver chrome 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M wide-angle lens, a matching round lens hood, a Leicavit M rapid winder and an Hermès (naturally) leather carrying strap.

What I wouldn't give for a suave camera like this. Well, actually I wouldn't give the asking price of $12,950. At least not now.
