39 Things to Buy with $39,000 instead of The Row’s Alligator Backpack

There are lots of ridiculous things that designers make that are exorbitantly priced. Most of them, I can find a justification for. But I don’t seem to be the only one who has a hard time justifying $39,000 for an alligator backpack from The Olsen twins’ amazing couture-quality line, The Row. If you can justify spending my starting annual salary as a fashion editor in New York City on a backpack, do tell me in the comments below, otherwise, if you have $39,000 to spend on fashion and fashionable things?
