This "Affordable" The Row Bag was once less common than the Margaux, but it's now returning.
Last night, as I was relaxing in the evening, I spent some time browsing Instagram, looking for a bit of style inspiration to help me approach the new season positively. I saved various items, including ethereal layers, pastel hues, and structured shapes, but the piece that really caught my attention? The Row's '90s shoulder bag.
Even though this bag has been available for a while, the brand paused its production after the pouch experienced a significant surge in popularity (which my colleague from the US has cautioned might occur with The Row's Margaux tote). In an effort to maintain an exclusive aura, this sought-after bag became quite difficult to find. However, it has now returned, and its understated elegance is making its way into some of the most fashionable wardrobes.
The Row's ‘90s shoulder bag exemplifies minimalism: it features a small, thoughtfully designed top-handle shape with a gentle curve, intended for carrying just the essentials for an evening out. Unlike other styles, it’s designed to be held in hand, tucked under your arm, or slung over your shoulder. Its slightly relaxed form contributes to a casual, effortless sophistication, reminiscent of creations by the Olsen twins.
Not surprisingly, the bag is currently sold out on The Row’s official website, but I’ve managed to locate it at various retailers. MyTheresa offers it in a rich cognac color, Ssense has a classic black version, and Selfridges still has a bold red option that I find hard to believe is still in stock.
In terms of versatility, The Row's ‘90s bag complements both a flowing evening dress and casual denim with equal ease, effortlessly enhancing a simple jeans-and-tee outfit or adding refinement to tailored trousers and skirts. Priced at £1020, it sits at the lower end of The Row's pricing spectrum. While it may not be considered affordable overall, it is comparatively reasonable when looked at alongside some of the brand's other iconic styles. Additionally, the sleek shoulder bag justifies its price through a cost-per-wear perspective, pairing beautifully with the neutral wardrobe staples that comprise a dependable capsule collection, as well as with the bolder pieces reserved for special occasions.
As The Row continues to master the craft of creating wardrobe-defining accessories, this bag is certainly next on the list. Read on to explore the ‘90s shoulder bag below.
