World's most expensive braA brassiere (pronounced UK: /ˈbræzɪər/, US: /brəˈzɪər/; commonly referred to as a bra /ˈbrɑː/) is an article of clothing that covers, supports, and elevates certain fun parts.

Although bikini-like garments are depicted on some female athletes as late as 1400s BC, it wasn’t untill the late 1800s that manufacturers started experimenting with alternatives for the corset which had been popular since the 1500s.

On November 13, 1914, the newly formed U.S. patent category for “brassieres” was inaugurated but it wasn’t untill the 1930s that bras went into mass production.

Victoria’s Secret is one of the most famous lingerie retailers and in 2002 it offered a one of a kind creation from Mouawad’s called ‘Red Hot Fantasy’.

The bra sports over 1,300 stones, including 300 carats-worth of  Thai rubies surrounded by diamonds.

If you are looking for the world’s most expensive support for your fun parts be prepared to part with a titillating $15 million of your hard earned money.

Hermes scarves

There are millions of different scarves on the market, and about just as many uses for them. Whether you’re wearing a scarf to keep you warm on a cold day, are tying a thin one around your face to keep dust and dirt out when you’re in hot, sandy places, or are just wearing one as a fashion statement, there are many different scarves that you could choose from. So, among all the scarves in the world, just which kind ranks as the most expensive?

Many people would not be surprised to find out that the most expensive scarves in the world are Hermes scarves. The company who makes these stunning scarves was started in 1837 by Thierry Hermes. It wouldn’t be until 100 years later when the Hermes company started offering scarves. If they had known how much money could be made from them, perhaps they would have begun producing scarves sooner.

Hermes scarves have been considered to be authentic, traditional heirlooms for generations now. This is because the scarves are designed by spinning Chinese silk into a tough fabric that can handle a great deal of wear and tear. But that’s practical talk. What really makes Hermes scarves beautiful pieces of art that can be worn, are the screen-printed designs that are handcrafted onto the material. And these aren’t just any designs. Sometimes, they take many, many years to design.

But if you think all of this craftsmanship has to cost you thousands of dollars, you’d be wrong. The scarves at the lowest price range of Hermes scarves cost about $260 while one that is larger, both in volume and price, and is dipped in dye, costs about $720, making them definitely ranking as the world’s most expensive scarves.

Chloe Lambskin Leather Pants

When the warmer months hit, it might also be time to go out and add a few new pieces to your summer wardrobe. But if you want the most expensive women’s shorts, you’ll need to dig into your brand new pockets, and you’re going to have to dig deep. These shorts cost over two grand, and for that you might think that they’re encrusted with diamonds. That makes sense but because wearing diamond-encrusted shorts can become uncomfortable (and let’s face it, just isn’t practical), you’ll need to settle for the next best thing – the softest lambskin leather you’ll be able to find anywhere.

The entire exterior of the shorts is made from soft lambskin leather, and they are even pleated at the waist, with the pleat traveling down the length of the short to the cuffed lambskin hem. They feature belt loops, a zipped front, and a hook closure. And, for women who might still think that wearing leather shorts doesn’t exactly scream comfort, there’s a nude cotton liner inside to keep one in ultimate comfort, while keeping with ultimate style.

The shorts are called Chloe Lambskin Leather Pants and they retail for a whopping $2,015. And, if you do happen to have pockets deep enough for that kind of summer wear, the only other real question is, what will you wear with them?
