Hi,
I'm looking for sites that look super super luxe and classy... in a very traditional sort of way, not like modern-luxury, but more like traditional-luxury. I've come up with these so far:

http://www.tiffany.com/

The sites here are kind of classic but is it not the photography that makes them feel expensive?

i'm mainly peeping the type treatments - need more ideas. especially for expensive-looking serifs that look good at small sizes, but yeah... it's mostly the type treatments i'm after.

bigtrick,
I dont think much can be taken design-wise from these websites already posted. None are "well designed" and none of them are great sites typographically.As Atkinson says, its the photography assets that make these sites look so good.
If you want good classic design then look at good classic typography and printed material and take influence from that and translate it to a website design.
- agreed - now show me the great typographic examples (:bigtrick

This website is good for a list to a shit load of fancy (sometimes gay) brands.
- and the site itself is top fucking notch!!!! very slick indeedProjectile

Dont mistake expensive looking sites with expensive brands. Most times brands simply look expensive because of the images of their products on the front page, or because they are well known brands.
Good typography and beautiful photography will make and influence any design.
