Record
In 1998 Guinness World Records cited the Gucci "Genius Jeans" as the most expensive pair of jeans in existence. These jeans were distressed, ripped and covered with African beads and were offered for sale for US$3,134 in Milan.
This record has since been surpassed in June 2005 by Levi Strauss & Co.'s 115-year-old 501 jeans that was sold to an anonymous Japanese collector for $60,000.
