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 handbag that is neither flashy nor fresh off the runway. The bag that I am so deeply committed to is The Row's simple yet perfect Margaux Tote, and Kendall Jenner has just reignited my obsession with her chic, wearable, and envy-inducing styling. Wearing her brown Margaux 17 with a simple jeans outfit, Jenner flung her gray knit over her bag in a very Olsen-sisters manner for a relaxed take on luxury styling.
Having been on my radar for some time, the Margaux is earning my affection by retaining the same tempting quality as it did when it debuted. 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with a cost-per-wear angle, offering a fresh, anti-trend bag that can be worn every day without ever feeling tired or out of date.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 bag 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, but I've collated the very best of the Margaux in all sizes and colors below so that you too can fall in love with the style that's right for you. Plus, there are two new shades, a deep green and refined red, that have just been released.
Read on to shop my edit of The Row's Margaux bags, as well as similar styles from the high street and other designer names.
