$250,000 Jeans

The Whites by Dussault Apparel

‘The Whites’ have got to belong to the most expensive pair of jeans in the world. They cost a whopping $250,000 a pair.

If they fit you nicely, you can buy the only other pair that cost just as much, called Golden.

Dussault Apparel Inc. hand-painted the jeans between each of 13 washes, adding depth and layers. But this isn’t what ups the cost. They are also made of 18 carat gold, diamonds and rubies.
