What if I told you that my necklace isn't from The Row, but rather a $38 bag charm?

      It’s fair to say that most of today’s fashion trends are heavily influenced by The Row. Many of the key themes and even specific micro trends that arise in the fashion world can often be traced back to a single look from a runway or a presentation by the brand. Whether we acknowledge it or not, The Row serves as fashion's guiding light—and it has undoubtedly inspired my most recent purchase. Last month, while browsing the offerings of a new handbag brand called Verafied, I found a listing for a bag charm and, without hesitation, I placed an order. I intended to wear it as a necklace rather than attaching it to any of my bags. The comb pendant, or Silver Comb Charm ($38), reminded me of a similar necklace I had seen in The Row's pre-fall 2023 collection—a silver comb hanging from a long, thick leather cord. Although the collection isn’t brand new, long pendant necklaces are just starting to gain traction as a significant trend for summer 2025, particularly those finished with a handmade detail or unique talisman, so I was bursting with ideas on how to style mine. Not only did the "bag charm" function remarkably well as a necklace, but the more I styled it, the better it appeared. Suddenly, all my summer outfits had that special *extra* flair, and soon enough, all my friends were ordering their comb necklaces as well. Ahead, I will outline the journey of this niche accessory trend from the runway to my personal collection.

      In The Row's pre-Fall 2023 collection, several looks featured an intriguing accessory: a long leather cord adorned with a silver comb. This piece paired beautifully with a strapless maxi dress, adding a soulful touch to an otherwise minimalist ensemble. It wasn’t long before The Row's comb necklace made its public debut, being worn by influencers like Neelam Ahooja with a button-down shirt and tailored trousers. Jewelry designer Nina Gordon offered her interpretation with a more curved design.

      When my order arrived, I was delighted to discover that the leather cord was soft and supple, and the silver pendant had a satisfying weight, making the accessory feel as luxurious as it appears. I adjusted it to the longest length and draped it around my neck, still astonished that it was under $40—I even revisited the website to confirm I hadn’t imagined the price.

      For styling, I’ve paired it with everything from a button-down shirt for work to a silk tank and even layered it over a bikini for a playful beach look. The necklace seems to effortlessly enhance the sophistication of any outfit without appearing overly trying.
