It's no secret that luxury clothing and accessories command a high price tag, but the reasons for why fashion items have a high cost can vary. For something like Stetson cowboy hats, it can be a combination of choice materials plus the cultural significance of the brand with celebrity endorsements like Beyonce and Dua Lipa. For others, brands create a business strategy based on limited supply and rarity, like Supreme drops and the Air Jordan resale market. Still other luxury prices boil down to the timeintensive methods used to create something like a single pair of Momotaro denim pants in Kojima, Japan. We take a journey across the globe to see how some of the most expensive luxury fashion items are made, and why they're so expensive.
