Questions People Ask About The Row Bags

These are the questions that come up most often about the row bags, answered with what can actually be verified. Treat each figure here as an observed 2026 market price recorded in September of that year rather than an official price list, because the brand publishes none. Anything that is reported yet unconfirmed is marked as such rather than smoothed over. When a figure comes from a resale report, it describes observed market behaviour and is not investment advice. The scope is bags, so ready-to-wear and footwear are left out. Much-repeated claims that cannot be checked have been left out.

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

Founded in 2006 by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, The Row operates out of New York City. Tribeca has held the design studio since 2012; a Paris office opened in 2011 and a London office followed in 2019. Savile Row in London lends the name. Bags are made in Italy, and the brand states 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. Further than that, no manufacturing detail is published, and claims about specific tanneries do not stand up to checking. Boutiques run by the brand itself are found in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Amagansett.

Why is there no branding on the bags?

Exterior logo plaques, branded hardware and monogram prints appear nowhere in the range. Silhouette, proportion and construction carry the identification instead. A small, discreet exterior stamp sits on each bag, the row park tote large usually 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 comes across 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.

How much does a The Row bag cost?

No official price list exists, because the brand publishes none, so every figure here is an observed 2026 market price. The floor was $590 for a Double Travel Wallet, and the ceiling $6,900 for the Marco Bag. Three bands describe the line usefully: entry at roughly $590 to $1,500, middle at roughly $1,550 to $3,500, and top at roughly $3,600 to $6,900. What you pay depends on material more than size. On the same silhouette, suede is consistently dearer than calfskin. Retailer prices vary, and stock, currency and season all shift the figure, so read the table as a snapshot rather than a quotation.

Has the Margaux been discontinued?

Nobody outside the brand knows, and the brand has stayed silent. What is verified is that the Margaux was pulled from third-party retailers during 2025, and that the brand’s own site now shows the Soft Margaux and the Margaux Shoulder rather than the original. Discontinuation is widely reported, but the brand has never officially confirmed it. Those two claims are different, and any article merging them goes beyond the evidence. Secondary-market trading is where the original now sits; the Margaux 15 was reported reselling at around $4,350 to $6,000 and above in early 2026. The status is unresolved, not settled.

What separates the Soft Margaux from the original Margaux?

Treating it as 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 the additions against the original. 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. 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 is unconfirmed. Observed at $4,900, the Margaux Shoulder 12 is a separate shape, distinguished by a 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. Should you see N/S or E/W in a name, take it as orientation rather than dimension. Learning both conventions tells you nearly everything you need before handling the bag.

What should I check to authenticate a The Row bag?

Since there is no public serial number, date code or authenticity card system for these bags, no lookup is possible and nobody can verify one for you. The whole job falls to physical inspection 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. 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. A crisp, centred interior stamp reading the logo and Made in Italy is the norm, and the Margaux carries engraving on its buckles and base feet. Counterfeits reported through 2024 and 2025 survive photo inspection, which is why in-hand checks and platform authentication are what sources recommend.

• There are no serial numbers, no date codes and no authenticity cards
• Even stitching density and clean hand-painted edges
• A sharp, centred interior stamp with Made in Italy on it
• Matte or brushed fittings that close with precision
• The bag should keep its shape empty

Do The Row bags keep their value?

Judged by observed market behaviour they have, though this is not investment advice and past figures forecast nothing. The Rebag CLAIR 2025 report placed the brand at 97% value retention, entering its unicorn tier of 85% and above for the first time, behind only Telfar, Hermes and Goyard. Individual results spread: 146% for the N/S Park Tote, the report’s strongest, 107% for the Margaux Tote and 106% for the Half Moon shoulder. By way of comparison, the same report listed the Hermes Kelly Mini II at 282% and Goyard at 123%. Softer figures include Fashionphile resale reported up about 44% year over year. Canvas, nylon, sisal and seasonal colours sell down, so the retention belongs to black and neutral calfskin rather than the line as a whole.

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. Confirmed multi-brand stockists run to 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. On the secondary market, Rebag, The RealReal, Fashionphile, Vestiaire Collective, 1stDibs, Madison Avenue Couture and Future Reference all trade them. Poshmark, eBay and Mercari are also options; sources flag the first two as higher counterfeit risk. Because at least one non-official site uses the brand’s name, anyone searching for the row for sale should confirm they are on the brand’s own store before buying direct.

How should I care for one?

The label issues no care protocol, so this is material-appropriate general guidance rather than instruction from the label. In every case: don’t overfill, keep the bag away from direct sunlight, heat and rain, and store it lightly stuffed in its dust bag so it holds shape. Work calfskin and grained finishes with a soft dry cloth and apply neutral conditioner sparingly. Because nappa and lambskin are exceptionally soft and mark easily, use a dry cloth and avoid over-conditioning; both appear mostly as linings. 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. Hardest to rescue are raffia, sisal, canvas and silk or satin pieces: spot-clean only, and expect no forgiveness where water is concerned.
