Are You Ready For The 25 Most Expensive Stores
in the United States?
When I first moved to NYC to begin my somewhat short-lived and oh so miserable retail career, I worked at what was then considered to be one of the most exclusive and expensive stores in the world. Bijan was a Fifth Avenue, appointment-only boutique and it wasn’t unusual for a Sheikh or Prince of some Arab country to arrive and drop hundreds of thousands in one visit. Needless to say that when they insisted on training me in how to serve tea “the customary way” my designer boutique career ended.
