Single Most Expensive Suit in the World

Luxury designer Alexander Amosu, whose London-based design house is mostly known for gem-studded phones and accessories, has done something a little different this year—he’s created the world’s single most expensive suit.

The fabric of the single-breasted suit is made from vicuña wool, the most expensive wool in the world due to its scarcity and stringent regulations on wool-gathering, and qiviut, luxury wool made from the coats of muskoxen. It’s also threaded with 18-karat gold and its single button features pave set diamonds.

This fantastic suit took a total of 80 hours to make and has already been sold to an anonymous buyer for an equally fantastic price of £70,000—over US $100,000.

    Just so the readers will know, it was I, Sir Ogletree Winthorp, who purchased and has since returned this fabulous failure of fashion. Nowhere on this suit is there a cleaning recommendation, so naturally it was tossed from the washer bin into the dryer and now, well lets just say it is the perfect fit for my kitty. Shame.

    I think paying this much for one suit is outrageous. I could’ve bought a house for what some people pay for material that could be sewn by my mother.
