20k for this...

Well, it's mink, so yeah...
What do you think how many animals had to die for this. Certainly at least 10, if not 20 or more if you look at how it's put together, notice the "stripes".
If somebody really, really wants a great quality, good fit, good looking and real mink coat, that person likely has lots of money to spend. It's niche fashion, at least this piece, and that kind of justifies the price.
op this is you:
>what do you mean a solid gold toilet costs $200,000???? it's just a toilet, you can get a toilet at ace hardware for $90

Ace Hardware is the shit
Rich people take a digit off of everything they buy.
This is why they can buy something like a $20 dollar coffee and bagel every morning, because for them its like $2, which is probably the amount you spend on your morning equivalent.
Likewise a $1000 jacket is like spending $100 for them, which once again is a perfectly normal price that you would pay for a jacket.
Why is it so hard for people to understand this concept?
A 20K shawl like that isn't for anyone except the richest people in the world, the ones who can take 2 or even 3 digits off of everything they buy.
For the type of people who would buy such a thing it's like $200 or $20 to them.
When you realize this is how the world works these prices don't seem so ridiculous after all.
You also have to understand that for someone who lives in the poorest parts of the world and makes $200 a year the concept of you spending that amount a pair of jeans is just as maddening as you thinking about the person buying the $20,000 shawl.
It's all relative.

Good short summary how capotalism and consumerism work
Just like >>11769937 said, OP (and all of /fa/) just isn't The Row's target demographic. If I were a septuagenarian lady making six/seven figures and I wanted easy, non-fussy, luxury clothing the price would be totally reasonable.
The quality of construction and fabrications of the row's stuff is fantastic though. Go see and feel that stuff in person sometime.
