There is a pair for every individual. While you can find a pair of Levi’s jeans for less than $20, Gucci’s ‘Genius Jeans‘ have been cited by Guinness World Records as the most expensive jeans in the world. Gucci’s standard pair of jeans is available at a minimum price of $600. In 1998, Gucci made headlines when their normal pair of distressed, ripped denim was priced at an astonishing $3,134.

To summarize not all denims created by same manufacturer are equal. When the price tag of any particular pair is sky high then we must comprehend the finest quality of the blue jeans that incorporates the best weaves, rarest batches of fabric, manual labor and lot of detailing. And when there is no price check then sky is your limit.

Here Is The List Of The Expensive Jeans Brands

1. Gucci

Presently Gucci’s “Genius Jeans” are cited as the world’s most expensive pair by Guinness World Records. As I have already mentioned early in this post that even Gucci’s standard pair of jeans is available at minimum price of $600.

The brand had made a stir back in 1998, when they debuted their distressed and ripped jeans at an astonishing price for $3,134. Today the fashion house is certainly the denim world, when it comes to high end jeans.

2. Guess

It seems GUESS has gone back to its roots, by drawing cues from the authentic American soul of Nashville, otherwise known as Music City for its latest range of denims.

3. Dolce & Gabbana

This brand is synonymous with luxury and it’s pretty obvious to find their dungarees with a price tag. Usually D&G jeans feature distressed faded fabric as the material for the denim. Their limited edition of expensive jeans featured embroidered butterfly designs, while the back pocket was adorned with a gold logo of the company.

4. Roberto Cavalli Jeans

Finally we have arrived at the designer section. While the above mentioned brands in the list of the top 10 most expensive jeans brands are jeans manufactures, the fashion designers are not left behind to grace the chart.

Roberto Cavalli is counted among the high end fashion houses in the world and when such a brand decides to design a pair of lush jeans, it had to come with a heavy price tag as well.

Their jeans are widely popular especially among the elite class. Even their regular pair of jeans comes with different jewels. Such exclusive denims are sold at their store located in Madison Avenue in New York City, but you should be prepared to shell out $1,200 if you want to get the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker.

5. Levi Strauss & Co. 501

They say jeans get better with age! The fathers of denim jeans have given an incredible boon to the merchandise industry – the jeans which have now become almost everyone’s wardrobe staple, no matter whether it’s thrifty or expensive just like the vintage pair of Levi’s jeans from 1880′s which was auctioned for $60,000.

In two other similar cases, one dating back to the late 18th century and the other from the early 19th century were purchased for $46,000 and $36,000 respectively where Levi’s itself was the buyer of the former.

6. Earnest Sewn Custom Fit

Here is another company, which accepts personalized offers from customers. Apart from encrusting crystals and gold chains, the brand also accepts orders for personalized fits. The brand takes exact measurements, thereby ensuring that you will get a perfect fit once it is done.

7. Escada

Escada, the luxury American fashion house that was established in 1978, allows their customers to personalize their jeans with their own personal detailing. While some customers add in a button fly, others prefer good old-fashioned zipper.

Some customers even want their jeans to be faded and there was an occasion when someone had once asked Escada to encrust Swarovski crystals into a customized pair. This is how Escada had sold their customized pair for whopping $10,000.

8. APO Jeans

One of the most expensive pair of APO jeans is accentuated with silk pockets and riveting made of gold, silver and platinum along-with exquisite gemstones. On the other hand, the manufacturer ensures that their regular jeans are made of the finest fabrics for the customized pair.

10. Dussault Apparel

With a price of $250,000, the Thrashed Denim Line by Dussault Apparel definitely deserves a place in this list. It is an entirely hand made process where the jeans are washed 13 times and then they are dyed and painted between each wash. Wondering why it is priced so high? Each pair is encrusted with 16 one carat rubies, 25 half carat diamonds and 1080 grams of 18K white or rose gold. Though the jeans may not be appealing to your eyes with all the skull designs on it, it is worthy of the price tag for the sheer amount of hard-work involved.
