Kendall Jenner's Luxury Bag Is Sold Out, so I'm Shopping These Chic Styles Instead

As a self-confessed handbag obsessive, when I tell you there's only one bag on my wish list, you know it's going to be a special one. Charmed as I have been by the new season's offerings, my heart remains devoted to a certain oversize designer handbag that is neither flashy nor fresh off the runway. The bag that I am so deeply committed to is The Row's perfect Margaux Tote, and Kendall Jenner has reignited my obsession with her chic, wearable, and envy-inducing styling. Wearing her brown Margaux 17 with a simple-yet-elegant jeans outfit, Jenner flung her gray knit over her bag in a very Olsen-sisters manner for a relaxed take on "rich girl" luxury styling.
Having been on my radar for some time, the Margaux has retained the same tempting quality since it debuted—only made more enticing by its current sold-out status. A deep, roomy handbag that's available in several sizes and rid of gimmicks, the bag instead offers sleek lines, excellent stitching, and exquisite attention to detail. Crafted from supple Italian leather, the bag features three interior pockets and gold buckle detailing on the side. With prices ranging from $4030 to $6800, the Margaux is priced in line with other designer favorites such as Chanel's Flap bag or an Hermès Kelly. And though this is more than a considerable amount to hand over for an accessory, The Row makes its case with a cost-per-wear angle, offering a fresh, anti-trend bag that can be worn every day without ever feeling tired or out of date.
The Row is known for its quiet luxury designs, and the Margaux forgoes logos. Instead, it bears a subtle brand name stamped on its corner. Rather than shouting about its heritage, the elegant accessory shows its status through slick design and excellent quality—an endearing signature of the brand that keeps devotees coming back for more.
It's ideal for the office or a weekend away, so I have my eye on the Margaux 17, which is the largest of the iterations. Since the Margaux is essentially sold out in all sizes and colors, read on to shop my edit of similar top-handle styles from The Row, as well as other designer names, and some more affordable brands.

The deep black suede and oversize shape makes this the runner-up bag of my dreams.
Maybe the closest style to the Margaux that's shoppable now, this smaller India 12.00 is currently sold out in every color except ivory.

DeMellier's New York bag is another that would slot perfectly into a capsule wardrobe.
The soft grain leather and dark carob color make this Madewell style look so much more expensive than its price tag.
The top handles *plus* the strap of this affordable tote are so versatile and practical.
