Once The Row’s Margaux bag was declared a modern Birkin, the purse went from cult favorite to hot-ticket item. Perhaps to counteract the sudden over-saturation, or simply to show some love to the other bags in her arsenal, Ashley Olsen, The Row’s CEO, toted a different purse from her stealth wealth label while out in New York.
Olsen, who co-founded the label alongside her sister, Mary-Kate Olsen, in 2006, maintained her distinct personal style in a rare public outing yesterday. She wore layers upon layers, enveloping herself in a black double-breasted trench coat from The Row and scarf. On the bottom she wore a pair of cropped, wide-legged pants with a frayed hem that are consistent with their resort 2025 collection, and black Mansur Gavriel ballerina flats.
She added some classic Olsen touches with her accessorizing. The designer added a pair of sporty cat-eye sunglasses with sepia lenses from Vuarnet—and carried a second pair of sunnies in her hand. On her wrist, Olsen toted a Lady Bag in black alligator.
If the Margaux is a Birkin then The Row Lady bag is a Himalaya Kelly. Retailing for approximately $33,000, the Lady is so rare and exclusive that it’s not available for purchase right now. Ashley Olsen’s outfit is just another reminder that, even if the Margaux is in high demand, there will always be another bag just out of reach. Now that’s quiet luxury!
