What's special about an object for the wealthy carrying a dizzying price tag?

I gotta come up with 40 grand between now and November so I can get one of these for a gift on the occasion of my daughter's entry into teenagerhood.
I never thought the Olsens could do anything for me except weird me out, but there's a link here to a photo of them in bed together reading a book on Brigitte Bardot by Simone de Beauvoir. I never heard of that book but now, thanks to Mary-Kate and Ashley, I'm going to look for it:

You may or may not have heard about this, but last month one of the Olsen twins was photographed with a handbag. I'm not making this up. And this is not like those other times that one of the Olsen twins was photographed with a handbag. No, forget about all those Yves Saint Laurents, Balenciagas and Chanels (as shown here). This specific handbag on this specific Olsen (Ashley) was an as-yet unreleased handbag from The Row, the Olsens' own fashion line. Additionally, this specific handbag retails at $39,000.
