Common Questions About The Row Bags

These are the questions that come up most often about the row bags, answered with what can actually be verified. Since the brand publishes no price list, each price throughout is an observed 2026 market price recorded in September of that year. Wherever something is reported but unconfirmed, that is said plainly rather than smoothed over. Where a figure comes from a resale report, it describes observed market behaviour and is not investment advice. This covers bags alone, so ready-to-wear and footwear sit outside it. Much-repeated claims that cannot be checked have been dropped.

Who makes The Row, and where are the bags made?

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen founded The Row in 2006, and the label is based in New York City. Tribeca has held the design studio since 2012; a Paris office opened in 2011 and a London office followed in 2019. The label takes its name from Savile Row in London. The bags are Italian-made, and the brand’s own product pages state Made in Italy for the Half Moon, Soft Margaux 10 and 12, Margaux Shoulder 12, Bourse Clutch, Terrasse To-Go and Large Slouchy Banana. Nothing more about manufacturing is made public, and any assertion about a specific tannery is not verifiable. Own boutiques operate in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Amagansett.

Why do the bags carry no logo?

You will find no exterior logo plaques, branded hardware or monogram prints anywhere on the range. Instead, you read the bag by silhouette, proportion and construction. Look low on the side of any bag for a small, discreet exterior stamp that blends into the row canvas tote bags the leather, and look for a second stamp inside. Since the hardware is palladium-plated and matte or brushed, it reads as weight rather than shine. Where other houses print logo jacquard, the line uses nappa, lambskin, calfskin and cotton herringbone, because linings count as luxury materials in their own right. Practically speaking, nobody can place one of these bags from a distance, and many buyers regard that as the point.

What does a The Row bag cost?

Because the brand publishes no price list, every figure here is an observed 2026 market price rather than an official one. The observed range went from $590 for a Double Travel Wallet up to $6,900 for the Marco Bag. The line splits into three useful bands: roughly $590 to $1,500 at entry, roughly $1,550 to $3,500 in the middle, roughly $3,600 to $6,900 at the top. Material moves the number more than size does. Opt for suede and you pay a consistent premium over calfskin in the same silhouette. Treat the table as a snapshot rather than a quotation: retailer prices vary, and stock, currency and season all shift the figure.

Tier	Range observed in 2026	Representative models
Opening	$590 up to $1,500	90’s Bag $1,090, N/S Park Crossbody $1,290, Half Moon $1,390, Double Travel Wallet $590, Boone Tote $900
Mid tier	$1,550 to $3,500	Bourse Clutch $1,590, Park totes in all sizes, Alix $1,900, Peggy Clutch $2,900, Large Slouchy Banana $2,550
High end	$3,600 up to $6,900	Agnes 12 $4,400, Soft Margaux 10 $3,650, Margaux Shoulder 12 $4,900, Alger Tote $4,900, Marco Bag $6,900
Suede uplift	Depends on the silhouette	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. Two things are verified: the Margaux was pulled from third-party retailers during 2025, and the brand’s own site now shows the Soft Margaux and the Margaux Shoulder in place of the original. Discontinuation itself is reported everywhere but has never received official confirmation from the brand. The two are separate: merging them is not supported by the evidence. The original now changes hands on the secondary market, where the Margaux 15 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?

Calling it a rename misses the point: the Soft Margaux is a reworking. Compared with the original, it adds protective metal feet, an interior toggle closure, belted side gussets, a zip pocket and card slots. Observed at $3,650, the Soft Margaux 10 is 100% calfskin with 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. At $4,350, the Soft Margaux 12 holds the same construction, measuring 12 x 9 x 7.5 inches with two card slots and a zip pocket. A Soft Margaux 15 is reported at about $4,700, but that figure has not been confirmed. Separate from both is the Margaux Shoulder 12 at an observed $4,900, with its lambskin lining and elongated tubular handles.

What do the numbers in the bag names refer to?

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. That makes comparison unusually easy, since two bags sharing a number occupy roughly the same width. At one major retailer there is a leather-and-canvas Margaux 17, approximately 17 x 12 x 9 inches, with no verified price. Where a name carries N/S or E/W instead, that describes orientation rather than dimension. Knowing both conventions tells you most of what you need before seeing the bag.

What should I check to authenticate a The Row bag?

There is no public serial number, date code or authenticity card system for these bags, so there is no code to look up and nobody can verify one for you. Authentication is physical instead. Look for 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. Genuine hide feels substantial and soft at once and absorbs light rather than reflecting it, while fakes feel stiff, thin or faintly plasticky. Inspect the interior stamp for crispness and centring, reading the logo and Made in Italy; on the Margaux, the buckles and base feet are engraved. Because counterfeits reported through 2024 and 2025 pass photo inspection, the advice centres on in-hand checks and platform authentication.

• Serial numbers, date codes and authenticity cards do not exist here
• Even stitching density and clean hand-painted edges
• Crisp, centred interior stamp reading Made in Italy
• Brushed or matte hardware and a precise action on closing
• Shape that survives being emptied

How well do The Row bags hold value on resale?

Observed market behaviour says yes, though none of this is investment advice and past figures forecast nothing. In the Rebag CLAIR 2025 report, the brand reached 97% value retention, a first entry into the unicorn tier of 85% and above, with only Telfar, Hermes and Goyard ahead. Individual models differed: 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%, for comparison. Among the softer numbers is Fashionphile resale reported up about 44% year over year. Nothing here is uniform: black and neutral calfskin carry the strength, while canvas, nylon, sisal and seasonal colours discount.

Where are The Row bags sold?

Direct purchase means the brand’s own webstore or its boutiques in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Amagansett. Multi-brand stockists 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. For off-price and archive stock, The Outnet is where discontinued styles often surface. On the secondary market, Rebag, The RealReal, Fashionphile, Vestiaire Collective, 1stDibs, Madison Avenue Couture and Future Reference all trade them. Poshmark, eBay and Mercari also carry them, though sources flag the first two as higher counterfeit risk. Anyone searching for the row for sale needs to know that at least one non-official site uses the brand’s name, so confirm you are on the brand’s own store before buying direct.

How should I care for one?

The guidance below is material-appropriate and general, rather than instruction from the label, because no brand-issued care protocol exists. Across all materials, avoid overfilling, keep the bag out of direct sunlight, heat and rain, and store it in its dust bag lightly stuffed so it holds shape. A soft dry cloth suits calfskin and grained finishes, with neutral conditioner used sparingly. Nappa and lambskin, which appear mostly as linings, are exceptionally soft and mark easily, so use a dry cloth and avoid over-conditioning. Suede is the most fragile material in the line and takes a suede brush only, with no leather cream, wet wipes, soap or water-based cleaner. Spot-cleaning is the only option for raffia, sisal, canvas and silk or satin pieces, which are least forgiving to water and least serviceable.
