Remember we discuss about luxury goods which are very price-elastic? Take a look at the example.
Fancy a handkerchief priced at RM1,300 or
a sweater at RM5,500 or
a shirt at RM9,000 or a belt that costs you as much as RM37,000! ( enough to buy a Proton Iswara)
These are the real items sold at Bijan at Beverly Hills, US.
Bijan, known as ‘the world’s most expensive menswear designer’ serves not the rich, but the super-rich.
He mentioned that a client’s income should be at least US$1mil (RM3.63mil) a month after taxes to afford to shop at his shop.
All the trasactions are done 'only by appointment' basis, he has no time to attend to window shoppers..How arrogant.., nevertheless with his stature, he can afford to.
His clients include:
two emperors,
five kings,
the presidents of 36 countries,
six prime ministers and
500 heads of states and captains of industry.
Familiar names like Prince Charles, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, Larry King, Steve Wynn and this includes our very own Pahang Sultan “His Majesty Sultan Ahmad Shah”
If you are thinking of changing your wardrobe for a season, Bijan's price tag is US$1 million!!!
And the best thing is, if you are unable to come to Bijan, Bijan can come to you!! He has
his own plane
Twice a year, he and his team fly off to see his clients, either in their homes or the best hotel suite in town. Naturally, he flies in his private jet; God forbid he fly commercial and be subject to timetables!
Should you be left stranded in Kuala Lumpur because your wife has taken your plane to go shopping in Paris, he can send his jet to pick you up, too.

Wow, thanks Wizzerd! That was really an eye-opener. Wish I could afford such luxury in the future =)
these guy is crazy... and people who actually go to these stores are off thier mind... they should actually use the money they spend on these stuffs to maybe create a subsidy plan for the poor so things would not be so expensive.. i know i sound dumb and its not possible but to tell the truth nothing is impossible if we give it a shot.. Right??? correct m if i am wrong please..
why is it so expensive?
Its bcoz of the Name itself? or they use speacial ingrediant to produce their product.?
its really cool but i think it will be better if they give me the money!!hehe..
