Located at 420 Rodeo Dr. in Beverly Hills sits The House Of Bijan boutique, the most expensive store in the world. After researching this "fact" it appears to remain unchallenged and accepted, apparently no other stores are vying for the title. From the outside the Bijan boutique is exquisite yet slightly uninviting. The names of some of Mr. Bijan's well-known clients are engraved on the front window of the boutique and an appointment is the only way to gain access into this exclusive world, where a pair of socks will cost you $50. A suit, $50,000. In 1981, Bijan created the first perfume for men, the 6 oz. bottle is now priced at $3,000. The Bijan perfume bottle is a featured exhibit at the Smithsonian! Mr. Bijan's exclusive designs now include suits, shirts, ties, shoes, scarves, jewelry, and watches, briefcases, luggage and, of course, fragrances.

This is very true. It has been said that in order to get an appointment one must make at least 1,000,000USD a month. I took pictures of his shop this past September and got lucky to actually catch him outside. The pictures are located at http://www.flickr.com/photos/seanbrs/1434937209/.

But what makes the gear worth that much? My feet will sweat in a $50 pair of socks just as much as they will in a $5 pair. I love nice clothing, but I highly doubt his $50,000 suit is better than an Armani or something similar. Rich people are WAY too frivolous with their money.

i went to bijan back when he had a NYC store. it was nice but NO WAY worth the price. there are about 10 other stores in NY that offer similar/better merchandise. no wonder he closed his store and headed to L.A.; less sophisticated clientele.
