The Row Bags: Your Questions Answered

Set out below are the most common questions about the row bags, dealt with using only what stands up to checking. Prices throughout are observed 2026 market prices recorded in September of that year, not an official price list, because the brand publishes none. Reported but unconfirmed claims are labelled that way, not papered over. Where a figure comes from a resale report, it describes observed market behaviour and is 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 run from 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 name comes from Savile Row in London. Bags are made in Italy, and the brand prints 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. Nothing more about manufacturing is made public, and any claim about a specific tannery is not verifiable. Its own stores trade in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Amagansett.

Why are the bags left without a logo?

There are no exterior logo plaques, branded hardware or monogram prints anywhere on the range. Recognition runs on silhouette, proportion and construction instead. Every bag has a small, discreet exterior stamp, usually low on the side where it blends into the leather, plus a second stamp inside. Hardware is palladium-plated and finished matte or brushed, which means it registers as weight rather than shine. Nappa, lambskin, calfskin and cotton herringbone do the lining work where other houses print logo jacquard, so the linings are luxury materials in their own right. You will not be identified from across a street, which is the whole attraction for many buyers.

What is the price range for a The Row bag?

Because the brand publishes no price list, each price quoted is an observed 2026 market price rather than an official one. Observed prices ran from $590 for a Double Travel Wallet to $6,900 for the row handbags tan shoulder bags 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 drives the figure more than size does. Opt for suede and you pay a consistent premium over calfskin in the same silhouette. Take the table as a snapshot rather than a quotation: retailer prices vary, and stock, currency and season all shift the figure.

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

Is the Margaux discontinued?

Nobody outside the brand knows, and the brand has never said. 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. Discontinuation itself is widely reported but has never been officially confirmed by the brand. The two claims are different, and any article conflating them goes beyond the evidence. In practice, the original now trades on the secondary market, where the Margaux 15 was reported reselling at around $4,350 to $6,000 and above in early 2026. Absent word from the brand, treat the question as open.

How does the Soft Margaux differ from the Margaux?

Calling it a rename is wrong: the Soft Margaux is a reworking. Protective metal feet, an interior toggle closure, belted side gussets, a zip pocket and card slots are all new against the original. Soft Margaux 10 was observed at $3,650 in 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. Reports put a Soft Margaux 15 at about $4,700, but the figure is unconfirmed. Margaux Shoulder 12, observed at $4,900, is a separate shape with a lambskin lining and elongated tubular handles.

Why do the model names have numbers in them?

The figure means width in inches, and not a size tier or a series code. The convention applies 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. A leather-and-canvas Margaux 17 is listed by a major retailer at approximately 17 x 12 x 9 inches, although the price is not verified. When a name carries N/S or E/W instead, that describes orientation rather than dimension. Master both conventions and you have most of the answer before the bag is in front of you.

How do I authenticate a The Row bag?

No serial number, date code or authenticity card system exists publicly for these bags, so there is nothing to look up and nobody can verify one for you. The whole job rests on physical inspection instead. 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. Genuine hide feels 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 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, 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
• Matte or brushed hardware with a precise closing action
• A silhouette that stays put with nothing inside

How well do The Row bags hold value on resale?

On observed market behaviour they have, though this is not 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. Individual models varied: N/S Park Tote 146%, the report’s strongest, Margaux Tote 107% and Half Moon shoulder 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 sell down, so the strength is concentrated in black and neutral calfskin rather than the line as a whole.

Where are The Row bags sold?

Buying direct means the brand’s own webstore or its boutiques in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Amagansett. Confirmed multi-brand stockists take in Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Net-a-Porter, Mytheresa, FARFETCH, FWRD, SSENSE, Selfridges, Moda Operandi and Cettire, alongside independents such as A’maree’s and Savannahs. The Outnet stocks off-price and archive stock, and discontinued styles often surface on it. Secondary-market dealing goes through Rebag, The RealReal, Fashionphile, Vestiaire Collective, 1stDibs, Madison Avenue Couture and Future Reference. Poshmark, eBay and Mercari also list them; sources flag the first two as higher counterfeit risk. Anyone searching for the row for sale should note 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 do you care for one?

No brand-issued care protocol exists, so this is material-appropriate general guidance rather than instruction from the label. 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. Calfskin and grained finishes respond to buffing with a soft dry cloth, plus neutral conditioner used sparingly. Nappa and lambskin, which appear mostly as linings, are exceptionally soft and mark easily, so stick to 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. Least serviceable of all are raffia, sisal, canvas and silk or satin pieces: spot-clean only, and expect no forgiveness where water is concerned.
