The Olsen Twins' Multi Patchwork Backpack is Posh

— July 1, 2012 — Luxury
The Olsen Twins Multi Patchwork Backpack is the latest release from their handbag company called 'The Row.' This uber posh purse will set you back a whopping $16,900 -- a notably higher than average price for a handbag.

The purse "combines comfort and class," as described by the famous stylist Rachel Zoe on her blog. It has also been described as being a light-weight and a perfect complement to pre-fall attire. It is not that much different from a regular fur purse, aside from the fact that it has red hued fur patches. Considering the fact that the Olsens have become a staple name in the fashion industry, they can get away with charging such a hefty price.
