The Olsen twins are back again with the Row Fall 2012 collection, and not for a Full House reunion. The uber-chic sister duo is proving they belong in the fashion realm with not one, but two successful fashion lines under their belts at this point.
The Row is considered the more mature fashion line of the girls’ brands and has become notorious for its outrageously priced luxury handbags -- recall the $30,000+ backpack. The latest 2012 Fall/Winter collection consists of an abundance of rich textiles including alligator, python, lizard and leather, with simple and clean closures and clasps.
The Row 2012 handbags follow the perfect fall/ winter palette of oranges, burgundies and blacks. The collection is expensive, but impressive. Even if your pocket book cannot afford them, you can always ogle from afar.
