I Just Found the Perfect $80 Alt for Ashley Olsen's Gorgeous $3000 Handbag
Ashley Olsen could wear anything, and I'd think it was chic, and for good reason. It usually is. One half of the design duo behind The Row, Olsen is a walking ad campaign for the brand that everyone in fashion—no matter their personal style or taste—adores. So of course, when she steps out for even the most mundane of errands, her look inspires.
This time around, she was spotted checking off to-dos in NYC in a black tailored maxi coat, puddle pants, and a colorful scarf, but it was her bag—a $3000+ rectangular shoulder bag from The Row—that reeled me in. Simple, black, and bowler-like, the bag in question is utterly timeless and selling out like crazy. As much as I'd love to be one of those people snatching up the last few available styles, though, Olsen's bag is just slightly (read significantly) out of my budget at the moment. Luckily, after a great deal of scrolling through Amazon, I discovered an alternative that called out to me just as much, and it's $80.

I can't get over this price-to-quality ratio. I'd pay way more for this beauty, but I'm glad I don't have to.
