Most Expensive Jeans

Written by: tom Filed Under: Fashion, Luxury, World on March 27th, 2006

The popular worker’s denim trousers have become modern day fashion and status symbols. Designer jeans come in and out of popularity but in early 2000’s, expensive jeans started coming back into fashion with brands such as APO Jeans, Chip and Pepper, Paper Denim & Cloth, Seven for All Mankind, True Religion and many other brands costing $200 or more per pair.

The Guinness Book of Records lists a pair of Gucci genius jeans featuring elaborate feathers, beads, rips and buttons as most expensive jeans off-the-rack at a cost of $3,134.

But recently Forbes has showcased Escada’s Swarovski crystal-encrusted expensive jeans which sell for $10,000 US.

Levi Strauss Company bid $46,532 to buy a pair of their own brand jeans back on the popular auction site eBay. The most expensive jeans were an average pair manufacturered in the 1880s and Levi’s must have considered them a historical brand artifact.

    Strange, no mention of really expensive designer jeans like Evisu or Iron Heart.
    I think Evisu had a millenium model of which the logo was made from gold and platinum thread, forgot the price but I think it was 2.000 Usd each.

    Well the levis were found in a mine in the Mojave Desert in California. They are valuable because they are over 100 years old. They were also in pretty good condition.
