The popular denim pants, or the so-called jeans, have become the embodiment of everyday fashion, but they can also be a symbol of a certain standard.
At the beginning of the new Millennium expensive jeans started coming back into fashion with brands such as PO Jeans, Chip and Pepper, Paper Denim&Cloth, Seven for All Mankind.
The price for their models starts from $200 per pair. The Guinness Book of World Records listed figures, that rise the jeans to a new level.
For example, the price of embellished with applications Gucci Genius is 3134 dollars. Forbs reported another curious example – Escada’s Swarovski crystal-encrusted jeans that sold for $10,000.
Levi Strauss Company spent 46 532 dollars buying a pair of its own jeans on Internet auction in May 2001. The company has no plans to resell them, because, as they say, they are priceless.
The most expensive jeans were manufactured in the 1880s and purchased by a Japanese collector in 2005 for $60 000. But none of those impressive prices, can even compare to that commanded by Dussault Apparel's Trashed Denim line of jeans.
These jeans are handmade using a special process where where they are washed with dying and painting preformed between each washing. Each pair of Trashed Denim jeans is adorned with rubies, diamonds and white or rose gold. The jeans are priced at 250 000 dollars. Quarter of a million is a fantastic price, but there is no doubt, that they will find a buyer.
