But now, as we jump ahead to the present where anything you can buy, you can buy something very similar for 100 or even 1,000 times the price. Let’s start with men’s suits, and remember you can actually buy these suits if you are absolutely crazy enough, or have so much money you just need to dump some of it!
Check out these three examples…
Stuart Hughes Diamond Edition — $892,500
This suit took more than 800 hours to design and stitch, and is made of wool, cashmere, and silk. Famed luxury goods designer Stuart Hughes teamed up with world-renowned tailor Richard Jewels to create this extravagant piece of art, of which there are only three in the world. But you get more than fabric for this “gem”:
“The suit has 480 diamonds strategically positioned around the suit. Each single cut gem is 0.5 cts, colour G, VS2 quality, all of which total a massive 240 cts. A quote from Richard Jewels, ” I hope to establish a luxury brand that will not only capture the eyes but the hearts of the consumers. The R. Jewels brand for men and women will offer unrivaled customer service and we will be offering our clients all expenses paid trips to luxury destinations such as the Arc en Ciel in St Lucia as part of the packages. The emphasis on our products is to solidify one’s individuality.”
