The Row Bags: A Comprehensive Walkthrough to the Lineup
For most designer bags, the maker is made obvious before you have finished looking. Refusing that is what The Row is built on, and that one choice accounts for how its handbags are designed, costed and traded second hand. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen opened the brand in 2006, taking the name from Savile Row in London, the street that gave tailoring its vocabulary of restraint. The head office sits in New York City, alongside a design studio in Tribeca since 2012, a Paris office opened in 2011 and a London office added in 2019. Boutiques it owns outright are in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Amagansett, and all the rest is routed 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 actually matter, the specifications that divide them and what each costs. Because the brand issues no official list of prices, every number below is a market price observed in 2026 rather than an official price.
Identifying a The Row Bag Without a Logo
Identification runs on silhouette, proportion and construction, because there is no exterior logo plaque and no monogram anywhere in the line. Look low on the side for a small, discreet exterior stamp that blends into the leather rather than interrupting it, and look for a second stamp on the interior. Because the hardware is palladium-plated and finished matte or brushed, it reads as weight rather than throwing it across a room. Linings are treated as materials in their own right, with nappa, lambskin, calfskin and cotton herringbone appearing where most houses would print a logo jacquard. What governs the tailoring, namely that a garment is judged by its line rather than its label, governs the bags too. 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.
- No plaque on the outside, no monogram and no branded hardware whatsoever
- Palladium-plated fittings in matte or brushed finish rather than high-polish gold tone
- Linings in nappa, lambskin, calfskin or cotton herringbone
- A single small designer fashion stamp low on the outer side, with a crisp stamp inside
Inside the Margaux Family, and Why It Is Hard to Buy
The Margaux is the shape most buyers think of first, and currently it is the most muddled corner of the collection to shop. The Soft Margaux 10 comes in at $3,650, built in 100 percent calfskin with a matte grained finish and a cotton herringbone lining, and runs 10 x 7 x 7.5 inches on a 5-inch handle drop. It closes with an interior toggle, runs belted side gussets, sits on protective metal feet and carries a removable shoulder strap. The Soft Margaux 12 repeats the same construction at $4,350, runs 12 x 9 x 7.5 inches and gains a zip pocket. Different again is the Margaux Shoulder 12 at $4,900, pairing a lambskin lining and elongated tubular handles with 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, though neither carries a retail price that can be relied on. During 2025 the original was pulled from third-party retailers, and the Soft and Shoulder versions now occupy its place on the brand’s own site; that it has been discontinued is widely reported but has never been officially confirmed by the brand.
The Working Middle: Totes, Top Handles and Shoulder Bags
More than any other group, the Park family drives volume and is usually the 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; the variable within each size is material and finish, not capacity. Small and Medium Park Tote sit at $1,450 to $1,620, the Park Tote Three occupies $1,750 to $2,400, and $2,490 gets you the XL Park Tote. Higher up, 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. Among the top handles, suede bites hardest: India 10.00 is $3,850 in leather against $5,370 in suede, and Agnes 15 runs $5,000, $5,800 and $4,300 in leather, suede and a canvas blend. Ida comes in at $3,990, Elise and Agnes 12 are both $4,400 and the Iowa Duffle is $5,180, while Idaho holds the value end at $1,420. Shoulder styles spread just as widely, from Lori at $1,350 and the 90’s Shoulder at $1,450 up through Alix at $1,900, Parker at $2,900 and Jean Shoulder at $3,900.
Small Bags, Clutches and the Entry Tier
The most affordable row handbags are not stripped-down versions of the expensive ones; they are smaller problems solved with the same care. The 90’s Bag sits at $1,090 and has become the collection’s quiet cult object, while the Half Moon is observed at $1,390, with a leather variant seen at $1,690 at one stockist. Sources conflict on Half Moon dimensions, so the official 8 x 13.5 x 2.5 inches is the figure to work from and slight disagreement elsewhere is to be expected. The Bourse Clutch, $1,590, proves the point about construction at the cheaper end: calfskin exterior, nappa lining, hinged frame closure, hidden adjustable shoulder strap, 10.2 x 6.5 x 2.3 inches, Made in Italy on the label. Lower down are the Double Travel Wallet at $590, the Cecily Mini Tote and Ray Pouch at $950 and the Squared Compact Clutch at $1,390. Higher up are the Terrasse To-Go at $1,950, the Dalia Baguette at $2,700 and the Peggy Clutch at $2,900.
The Price Bands Summarised
Three bands describe the collection well enough to shop by, and they hold across every category. Most buyers meet the brand in the entry band, roughly $590 to $1,500. The middle band, roughly $1,550 to $3,500, holds the Park totes, most shoulder bags and the better clutches. About $3,600 to $6,900 marks the top band, home to the Margaux family, the India and Agnes top handles and the Marlo totes. One rule cuts across all three, since suede consistently carries a premium over calfskin on the same silhouette. Simpler still is the second rule, namely that the number in a bag’s name is its width in inches.

|---|---|---|
| Entry | $590 to $1,500 | Double Travel Wallet $590, 90’s Bag $1,090, Half Moon $1,390 |
| Mid range | $1,550 up to $3,500 | N/S Park Tote Small $1,550, Bourse Clutch $1,590, Parker $2,900 |
| High end | $3,600 up to $6,900 | Soft Margaux 12 $4,350, Margaux Shoulder 12 $4,900, Marco Bag $6,900 |
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 one people name first: a suede shape with raw-cut trims, a knotted detail and an open top, reported to have retailed around $1,190, and after it 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 make up the Camden, at approximately 9 x 12.5 x 5.25 inches. The Ascot hobo, the Wander knot crossbody and the nylon Sling 15 also circulate, though none has a reliably documented retail figure.
Resale, Authentication and Care
Read the following as observed market behaviour rather than investment advice: the resale picture is unusually strong. In the Rebag CLAIR 2025 report The Row recorded 97 percent brand-level value retention, crossing into the report’s unicorn tier of 85 percent and above for the first time and trailing only Telfar, Hermes and Goyard. The strongest single result was the N/S Park Tote at 146 percent, followed by the Margaux Tote at 107 percent and the Half Moon shoulder at 106 percent, all above the brand-level number. What holds value is concentrated in black and neutral calfskin in the signature shapes; canvas, nylon, sisal and seasonal-colour pieces routinely discount. Shopping The Row for sale second hand involves judging stitching density, hand-painted edges, matte hardware and whether the bag holds its shape empty, since the brand operates no public authenticity coding. Let the material decide, because no brand-issued care protocol exists: 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.
