Frequently Asked 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. Prices throughout are observed 2026 market prices recorded in September of that year, not an official price list, because the brand publishes none. Anything reported but unconfirmed is stated plainly rather than smoothed over. Figures drawn from resale reports represent observed market behaviour; they are not investment advice. Only bags are covered; ready-to-wear and footwear sit outside the scope. Claims that circulate widely but cannot be checked have been left out.

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. Since 2012 the design studio has been in Tribeca, joined by a Paris office from 2011 and a London office from 2019. The label takes its name from Savile Row in London. Production is in Italy, and Made in Italy is stated on the brand’s 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 sit 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 on anything in the line. Silhouette, proportion and construction do the identifying instead. A small, discreet exterior stamp sits on each bag, generally low on the side where it blends into the leather, and a second stamp sits inside. Hardware is palladium-plated and finished matte or brushed, so 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. You will not be identified from the other side of the road, which for many buyers is the point.

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

Since the brand publishes no price list, every figure here is an observed 2026 market price rather than an official one. Observed prices stretched from $590 for a Double Travel Wallet to $6,900 for the Marco Bag. Work in three therowhandbags bands: entry, roughly $590 to $1,500; middle, roughly $1,550 to $3,500; top, roughly $3,600 to $6,900. Size matters less than material when it comes to the number. Suede carries a reliable premium over calfskin on the same silhouette. Since retailer prices vary and stock, currency and season all move the figure, the table should be read as a snapshot, not a quotation.

Has the Margaux actually been discontinued?

No one outside the company knows, and the brand has stayed silent. The confirmed facts are these: 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. The discontinuation is widely reported, though the brand has never officially confirmed it. The two are separate: treating them as one goes beyond the evidence. The original now lives on the secondary market, with the Margaux 15 reported reselling at around $4,350 to $6,000 and above in early 2026. Treat the status as unresolved rather than settled.

What separates the Soft Margaux from the original Margaux?

What you have here is a reworking, not a rename. Against the original, it adds protective metal feet, an interior toggle closure, belted side gussets, a zip pocket and card slots. 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. Reports place a Soft Margaux 15 at about $4,700, but the figure is unconfirmed. 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 model names mean?

The figure means 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 remarkably simple, since two bags sharing a number occupy roughly the same width. The Margaux 17 is available in a leather-and-canvas version at a major retailer, approximately 17 x 12 x 9 inches, but its price is not verified. Should you see N/S or E/W in a name, take it as orientation rather than dimension. Learn both conventions and you have most of the answer before the bag is in front of you.

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. Everything falls to physical inspection instead. Stitching should be machine-precise and evenly dense, with no fraying or wandering lines, and hand-painted edges should show no overflow, bubbling or thin coverage. The difference in hand is telling: genuine hide is substantial and soft at once and absorbs light rather than reflecting it, while fakes feel stiff, thin or faintly plasticky. The interior stamp should be sharp and centred, reading the logo and Made in Italy, and on the Margaux the buckles and base feet are engraved. Photo inspection does not catch them: counterfeits reported through 2024 and 2025 pass it, which is why in-hand checks and platform authentication dominate the advice.

• Nothing of the kind exists: no serial numbers, no date codes, no authenticity cards
• Even stitching density and clean hand-painted edges
• An interior stamp that is crisp, centred and reads Made in Italy
• Brushed or matte hardware and a precise action on closing
• Shape that survives being emptied

Do The Row bags keep their value?

They have on observed market behaviour; that is description rather than investment advice, and past figures forecast nothing. The Rebag CLAIR 2025 report put the brand at 97% value retention, crossing into its unicorn tier of 85% and above for the first time, behind only Telfar, Hermes and Goyard. Model by model the picture varied, with the N/S Park Tote strongest at 146%, the Margaux Tote at 107% and the Half Moon shoulder at 106%. For context, the same report recorded the Hermes Kelly Mini II at 282% and Goyard at 123%. Less firmly, Fashionphile resale was reported up about 44% year over year. Canvas, nylon, sisal and seasonal colours discount, so the strength is concentrated in black and neutral calfskin rather than the line as a whole.

Which retailers stock The Row bags?

To buy direct, there are the brand’s own webstore and its 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 handles off-price and archive stock, and discontinued styles often surface there. Rebag, The RealReal, Fashionphile, Vestiaire Collective, 1stDibs, Madison Avenue Couture and Future Reference all trade them on the secondary market. You will also find them on Poshmark, eBay and Mercari, though sources flag the first two as higher counterfeit risk. One caution for anyone searching for the row for sale: 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 do you care for one?

No brand-issued care protocol exists, so this is material-appropriate general guidance rather than instruction from the label. Whatever the material, 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. Calfskin and grained finishes respond to buffing with a soft dry cloth, 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. The most fragile material in the line is suede: a suede brush only, and no leather cream, wet wipes, soap or water-based cleaner. Raffia, sisal, canvas and silk or satin pieces spot-clean but are the least tolerant of water and least serviceable.
