Maxfield in Los Angeles has been named the 5^th most expensive store in the U.S., according to a new data collected by Bundle.com that stemmed from proprietary data from 20 million Visa and MasterCard holders and average receipt amounts based on millions of transactions.

In addition to Maxfield in Los Angeles, other boutiques in California that ranked in the top 25 include, Savannah in Santa Monica (number 9), Dolce & Gabbana in Beverly Hills (number 16) and Wilkes Bashford in San Francisco (number 17).

Among these items is a lavish collection of watches (Rolexes, Cartier, etc), Hermes desk sets, Gucci suitcases and more.
