$10,000 Black Jeans

Balmain Ankh Embellished Denim Available Online

— January 11, 2009 — Luxury
Balmain ankh-embellished black jeans are luxury epitomized, and at over $10,000 a pair, they are available on-line. The gorgeous denim pants are highlighted by a huge studded Egyptian ankh, the symbol of physical and eternal life, and additional embroidery and rivet-work.

I have to say these jeans rock, and luckily at the Luisaviaroma website I was able to zoom into the fine details which make up these haute trousers. Check out the patchwork on the model’s right leg which creates a scrunching effect, the original fly closure and the low slung pockets on the rear. The bottoms of the pants flare out and have been given extra length to completely cover your footwear.

The Balmain jeans are available for pre-ordering now for €6500, with delivery expected in March 2009.
