Epitomizing Tasteless The Olsen Twins [View all]

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Selling $55,000 Backpacks Covered in Prescription Pills

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have amazingly found a way to outdo their over-the-top $39,000 handbags for The Row.

In collaboration with artist Damien Hirst, the fashion designer duo are now releasing $55,000 backpacks under their label.

And get this: The bags are covered in prescription pill appliqués.

Yes, pills.

Only 12 of the $55,000 backpacks will be made, and some of the proceeds will go to UNICEF.
