A Comprehensive Guide to The Row Bags and the Line
Most luxury handbags declare their maker before you have finished looking at them. The Row inverts that, and that lone decision explains practically everything in how its bags are drawn up, priced and resold. The label was founded in 2006 by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and christened for Savile Row in London, the street where tailoring learned to prize restraint. New York City is where the business sits: a design studio has been in Tribeca since 2012, a Paris office opened in 2011 and a London office followed in 2019. Boutiques under the brand’s own name trade in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Amagansett, and all the rest passes through the brand’s own webstore and a short list of stockists. The rest of this piece is a row bags overview: the families that really count, the specifications that distinguish them and what each one costs. Because the brand issues no official list of prices, each figure below should be read as a market price observed in 2026 rather than an official price.
How to Identify a The Row Bag When There Is No Logo to Read
Recognition runs on silhouette, proportion and construction, since there is no exterior logo plaque and no monogram on anything in the range. A small, discreet exterior stamp is placed low on the bag’s side and is intended to blend into the leather rather ysl camera bag than cut across it, with a second stamp placed inside. Palladium-plated hardware comes matte or brushed, absorbing light rather than throwing it across a room. Interiors are specified as materials in their own right: nappa, lambskin, calfskin and cotton herringbone are used where most houses would print a logo jacquard. The instinct behind the label’s tailoring, in which a garment is judged by its line rather than its label, carries over undiluted. The brand’s own product pages carry Made in Italy for the Half Moon, Soft Margaux 10 and 12, Margaux Shoulder 12, Bourse Clutch and Terrasse To-Go.
- Nothing branded outside: no plaque, no monogram, no logo-stamped hardware
- Matte or brushed palladium-plated metalwork in place of high-polish gold tone
- Nappa, lambskin, calfskin or cotton herringbone linings
- One small exterior stamp low on the side, plus a crisp interior stamp
The Margaux Family, and Why It Is Difficult to Shop
The Margaux is the bag most people picture first, and it is currently the most confusing corner of the collection to shop. The Soft Margaux 10 is observed at $3,650 and is built in 100 percent calfskin with a matte grained finish and a cotton herringbone lining, measuring 10 x 7 x 7.5 inches on a 5-inch handle drop. An interior toggle closes it, belted side gussets run down each side, protective metal feet guard the base and the shoulder strap detaches. Step up to the Soft Margaux 12 at $4,350 and the construction is the same, with 12 x 9 x 7.5 inches and a zip pocket on top. The Margaux Shoulder 12 is a different proposition at $4,900, with a lambskin lining, elongated tubular handles, the signature adjustable buckles and narrowed gusseted side panels across 14.75 x 9 x 5 inches. Selfridges carries a Margaux 17 in leather and canvas, and a Soft Margaux 15 also circulates, although neither has a reliable retail price. The original was pulled from third-party retailers during 2025 and the brand’s own site now shows the Soft and Shoulder versions instead; its discontinuation has been widely reported but never officially confirmed by the brand.
Where the Volume Sits: Totes, Top Handles and Shoulder Bags
The Park family is the commercial engine of the line and the most common first purchase. For the N/S Park Tote, Small is $1,550 to $1,620, Medium $1,650 to $1,950 and Large $1,990 to $3,250; what moves the number inside a size is material and finish, not capacity. Across the rest of the family, the Park Tote is $1,450 to $1,620 in Small and Medium, the Park Tote Three $1,750 to $2,400 and the XL Park Tote $2,490. Above that, a The Row tote bag gets expensive fast: Marlo 14 at $5,300, the Alger Tote at $4,900 and the Marco Bag at $6,900. In the top handles it is suede that does the damage: $3,850 for India 10.00 in leather against $5,370 in suede, and Agnes 15 at $5,000, $5,800 and $4,300 in leather, suede and a canvas blend. Around them, Ida is $3,990, Elise and Agnes 12 both $4,400, the Iowa Duffle $5,180, and Idaho occupies the value end at $1,420. The spread across shoulder styles is just as wide: Lori $1,350, the 90’s Shoulder $1,450, Alix $1,900, Parker $2,900 and Jean Shoulder $3,900.
Small Bags, Clutches and the Entry Tier
Cheaper row handbags are not stripped-down versions of the expensive ones; rather, they are smaller problems solved with the same care. At $1,090 the 90’s Bag has become the collection’s quiet cult object; the Half Moon is observed at $1,390, and one stockist shows a leather variant at $1,690. There is disagreement between sources over Half Moon dimensions, so the official 8 x 13.5 x 2.5 inches should be your reference and slight disagreement elsewhere is normal. The Bourse Clutch at $1,590 shows how much construction goes into the cheaper end, with a calfskin exterior, nappa lining, hinged frame closure, hidden adjustable shoulder strap, 10.2 x 6.5 x 2.3 inches and Made in Italy on the label. Beneath it come the Double Travel Wallet at $590, the Cecily Mini Tote and Ray Pouch at $950 and the Squared Compact Clutch at $1,390. Above that come the Terrasse To-Go at $1,950, the Dalia Baguette at $2,700 and the Peggy Clutch at $2,900.
Price Bands at a Glance
You can shop the collection by three bands, and those bands stay true across every category. The entry band runs roughly $590 to $1,500 and is where most buyers meet the brand. The middle band, roughly $1,550 to $3,500, absorbs the Park totes, most shoulder bags and the better clutches. The Margaux family, the India and Agnes top handles and the Marlo totes occupy the top band, roughly $3,600 to $6,900. A single rule applies to all three, because suede consistently carries a premium over calfskin on the same silhouette. A second rule is simpler still: the number in a bag’s name is its width in inches.

|---|---|---|
| Opening | $590 up to $1,500 | 90’s Bag $1,090, Half Moon $1,390, Double Travel Wallet $590 |

Archive Models You Will Only See on Resale
A large part of the label’s reputation rests on bags no longer sold new, and knowing them changes how you read the secondary market. The Bindle is the best known: a suede shape with raw-cut trims, a knotted detail and an open top, reported to have retailed around $1,190, followed by the Bindle Three with its padded handle and removable inner pouch, observed near $1,700. The Sofia is a structured calfskin flap bag with a metal lock closure and a two-compartment interior, observed on resale between roughly $2,200 and $5,668. The Devon is a compact structured top handle in polished saddle leather, with a top zip, a hidden shoulder strap and decorative stitching. Grained or saddle leather, twin handles, a detachable strap, a magnetic closure and both patch and zip pockets constitute the Camden, at approximately 9 x 12.5 x 5.25 inches. The Ascot hobo, the Wander knot crossbody and the nylon Sling 15 are also around, though none carries a reliably documented retail figure.
Resale Values, Authentication and Upkeep
Read the following as observed market behaviour rather than investment advice: the resale picture is unusually strong. According to the Rebag CLAIR 2025 report, The Row recorded 97 percent brand-level value retention, breaking into the report’s unicorn tier of 85 percent and above for the first time and sitting behind only Telfar, Hermes and Goyard. At model level the figures climb higher, with the N/S Park Tote strongest at 146 percent, the Margaux Tote at 107 percent and the Half Moon shoulder at 106 percent. The strength is found in black and neutral calfskin in the signature shapes; canvas, nylon, sisal and seasonal-colour pieces reliably discount. Since the brand operates no public authenticity coding, anyone hunting The Row for sale second hand judges by stitching density, hand-painted edges, matte hardware and whether the bag holds its shape empty. Care follows the material rather than any brand-issued protocol: a soft dry cloth on calfskin, dry cloth only on nappa and lambskin, a brush and nothing wet on suede, and spot-cleaning alone for raffia and canvas.
