What do £640,000 jeans look like? Well, Secret Circus Clothing made a pair, and its back pockets were crusted in diamonds. You realize that's $1,265,534, don't you?
That means, to make your bum look like (more than!) a million dollars, the secret lies in fastening 15 gorgeous diamonds to it. Specifically, a 4.63 carat marquise cut diamond worth £102,000; two 6 carat round brilliant cut diamonds worth £250,000 each; one 5.09 carat princess cut worth £104,000; one 5.27 pear cut worth £134,000 and finally, 10 single carat diamonds worth £50,000.
Irma Matulionyte modeled them at the label's launch at London Fashion Week in February, and since then, the brand has stirred up quite a buzz... but they're not giving out many details! Their name couldn't be more fitting as they've already become famous for posting private parties, and keeping new launches on the down low. They also won't reveal the identity of the customer who purchased the jeans, but we do know they had a 27" waist.
A lot of high end retailers don't offer anything spectacular to go along with their luxury price tags, but Secret Circus sure does. Most recently, the company has collaborated with the Monaco and British Grand Prix to design outfits for the racing events... but again, they're not giving the public the scoop yet!
