The Row Bags: Common Questions Answered

What follows are the questions that recur most about the row bags, answered with only what can be verified. Prices throughout are observed 2026 market prices recorded in September of that year, not an official price list, because the brand publishes none. Anything that is reported yet unconfirmed is stated plainly rather than quietly rounded up into fact. Any number coming out of a resale report is observed market behaviour, not investment advice. Only bags are covered; ready-to-wear and footwear sit outside the scope. Assertions that are widely repeated but cannot be checked do not appear here.

Who is behind The Row, and where are the bags made?

The Row was founded in 2006 by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and is based in New York City. The design studio has been in Tribeca since 2012, with a Paris office opened in 2011 and a London office in 2019. The label is named after Savile Row in London. Bags are made in Italy, and the brand states Made in Italy on its own product pages for the Half Moon, Soft Margaux 10 and 12, Margaux Shoulder 12, Bourse Clutch, Terrasse To-Go and Large Slouchy Banana. Beyond that, no manufacturing detail is published, and claims about specific tanneries are not verifiable. Boutiques it operates directly are found in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Amagansett.

Why is there no branding on the bags?

There are no exterior logo plaques, branded hardware or monogram prints anywhere on the range. Recognition depends on silhouette, proportion and construction the row fashion bags instead. Each bag carries a small, discreet exterior stamp, usually low on the side where it blends into the leather, plus a second stamp inside. Because the hardware is palladium-plated and matte or brushed, it reads as weight rather than shine. Linings are luxury materials in their own right, using nappa, lambskin, calfskin and cotton herringbone where other houses print logo jacquard. Nobody will recognise the bag from the other side of the road, which is the whole attraction for many buyers.

How much should you expect to pay for a The Row bag?

Every figure here is an observed 2026 market price, since there is no official price list and the brand publishes none. Observed prices ran from $590 for a Double Travel Wallet to $6,900 for the Marco Bag. Three bands map the line usefully: entry at roughly $590 to $1,500, middle at roughly $1,550 to $3,500 and top at roughly $3,600 to $6,900. The price depends on material more than size. On the same silhouette, suede is consistently dearer than calfskin. Since retailer prices vary and stock, currency and season all move the figure, the table is a snapshot, not a quotation.

Bracket	Observed range, 2026	Models in this band
Opening	$590 up to $1,500	Boone Tote $900, Double Travel Wallet $590, 90’s Bag $1,090, Half Moon $1,390, N/S Park Crossbody $1,290
Mid range	$1,550 to $3,500	Alix $1,900, Large Slouchy Banana $2,550, Peggy Clutch $2,900, Bourse Clutch $1,590, Park totes in all sizes
Top tier	$3,600–$6,900	Marco Bag $6,900, Margaux Shoulder 12 $4,900, Alger Tote $4,900, Agnes 12 $4,400, Soft Margaux 10 $3,650
Suede over calfskin	Silhouette-dependent	India 10.00 leather $3,850 versus suede $5,370; Agnes 15 $5,000 versus $5,800

Is the original Margaux gone for good?

The honest answer is that nobody outside the brand knows, because the brand has not said. What is verified is that the Margaux was pulled from third-party retailers during 2025, and that the brand’s own site now shows the Soft Margaux and the Margaux Shoulder rather than the original. Discontinuation itself is widely reported but has never been officially confirmed by the brand. The two are separate: treating them as one is not supported by the evidence. Resale is where the original now sits; the Margaux 15 was reported reselling at around $4,350 to $6,000 and above in early 2026. Until the brand says otherwise, treat the question as open.

How does the Soft Margaux differ from the Margaux?

The Soft Margaux is a reworking rather than a rename. Protective metal feet, an interior toggle closure, belted side gussets, a zip pocket and card slots are all new against the original. At an observed $3,650, Soft Margaux 10 runs to 100% calfskin, a cotton herringbone lining, 10 x 7 x 7.5 inches, a 5-inch handle drop, palladium-plated hardware, a removable shoulder strap and one card slot, Made in Italy. Soft Margaux 12 shares that construction at 12 x 9 x 7.5 inches with two card slots and a zip pocket, at $4,350. A Soft Margaux 15 is said to be about $4,700, though that figure is unconfirmed. Margaux Shoulder 12, observed at $4,900, is a separate shape with a lambskin lining and elongated tubular handles.

What does the number after a model name mean?

The number is the bag’s width in inches, not a size tier or a series code. The convention holds across Margaux 10, 12, 15 and 17, India 10.00, 12.00 and 15.75, Agnes 12 and 15, Sofia 8.75 and 10, and Marlo 12 and 14. Since two bags sharing a number occupy roughly the same width, comparison is unusually simple. A leather-and-canvas Margaux 17 is listed by a major retailer at approximately 17 x 12 x 9 inches, though the price is not verified. Where a name carries N/S or E/W instead, those letters describe orientation rather than dimension. Taken together, the two conventions, you learn most of what you need before ever seeing the bag.

How can you tell a real The Row bag from a fake?

Since there is no public serial number, date code or authenticity card system for these bags, there is no code to look up and nobody can verify one for you. Authentication comes down to the object itself. Expect stitching that is machine-precise and evenly dense, free of fraying or wandering lines, and hand-painted edges with no overflow, bubbling or thin coverage. Real hide is substantial and soft at once and takes light in rather than throwing it back; fakes feel stiff, thin or faintly plasticky. The interior stamp should be crisp and centred, reading the logo and Made in Italy, and on the Margaux the buckles and base feet are engraved. Counterfeits reported through 2024 and 2025 pass photo inspection, so in-hand checks and platform authentication are what sources recommend.

• Serial numbers, date codes and authenticity cards do not exist here
• Consistent stitch density and hand-painted edges that are clean
• Interior stamp crisp and centred, reading Made in Italy
• Matte or brushed hardware with a precise closing action
• A shape that holds when the bag is empty

Do The Row bags keep their value?

The observed behaviour says they have; that is description rather than investment advice, and past figures forecast nothing. In the Rebag CLAIR 2025 report, the brand reached 97% value retention, its first appearance in the unicorn tier of 85% and above, with only Telfar, Hermes and Goyard ahead. Individual models varied: N/S Park Tote 146%, the report’s strongest, Margaux Tote 107% and Half Moon shoulder 106%. The same report put the Hermes Kelly Mini II at 282% and Goyard at 123%, which gives some context. Softer figures include Fashionphile resale reported up about 44% year over year. Canvas, nylon, sisal and seasonal colours discount, so the retention belongs to black and neutral calfskin rather than the line as a whole.

Where do you buy The Row bags?

The direct routes are the brand’s own webstore and the boutiques in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Amagansett. Multi-brand retailers verified as stocking the bags include Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Net-a-Porter, Mytheresa, FARFETCH, FWRD, SSENSE, Selfridges, Moda Operandi and Cettire, plus independents such as A’maree’s and Savannahs. The Outnet stocks off-price and archive stock, where discontinued styles often surface on it. Rebag, The RealReal, Fashionphile, Vestiaire Collective, 1stDibs, Madison Avenue Couture and Future Reference all trade them on the secondary market. Poshmark, eBay and Mercari carry them too, with the first two flagged in sources as higher counterfeit risk. Since at least one non-official site uses the brand’s name, anyone searching for the row for sale should confirm they are on the brand’s own store before buying direct.

What is the right way to care for one?

No brand-issued care protocol exists, so what follows is material-appropriate general guidance rather than instruction from the label. Overfilling, direct sunlight, heat and rain are the universal enemies, and storage means the dust bag, lightly stuffed so the shape holds. Calfskin and grained finishes take buffing with a soft dry cloth, plus neutral conditioner used sparingly. Mostly used as linings, nappa and lambskin are exceptionally soft and mark easily, so a dry cloth and no over-conditioning. Use a suede brush and nothing else on suede, which is the most fragile material here: no leather cream, no wet wipes, no soap, no water-based cleaner. Hardest to rescue are raffia, sisal, canvas and silk or satin pieces: spot-clean only, and expect no forgiveness where water is concerned.
