The Margaux Bag Has Been Discontinued But The Row Has Unveiled Its Successor—It Might Be Even Chicer

As a handbag-obsessed editor, the creation of an It bag has always fascinated me. Some come with legacy, like the Chanel flap bag, whilst others have a great story, like Hermes‘s illustrious Birkin, and then there’s The Row’s Margaux bag. Unlike those that came before it, the Margaux managed to break through the noise in the most The Row way—quietly. Devoid of logos and fanfare, it’s a bag that relied solely on refined design, exquisite craftspersonship and a desire of the fashion crowd to return to a more subtle way of dressing. In turn, it became almost as hard to track down as the aforementioned Birkin, with extensive waiting lists and extensive resale prices, and finally, it seems as though the brand is ready to move on. If you didn’t get your hands on the Margaux, but are searching for an investment bag with timeless appeal, luxury construction and a pared-back design, you’ll want to know all about The Row Marlo bag.

As a brand that will go down in fashion history as the pioneer of the quiet luxury movement, it should come as no surprise that the Marlo bag maintains the restrained appeal of The Row’s best designs. The brand has fine-tuned its signature of making the most understated designs so recognisable. The silhouette, the handle placement and the subtle design details all come together to become eye-catching nods to the bag’s origin, without the need for branding or monogramming. It’s a feat that few brands could take on, but one that The Row has become known for.
