Dubbed, by many, as the next Birkin, it’s clear that The Row’s Margaux Bag has undeniably ascended to iconic status within the realm of fashion. With a growing following of celebrity converts, the bag was even spotted on stars like Kendall Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence.
Riding on the quiet luxury trend, the Margaux bag is well-loved for its timeless design, fine craftsmanship and availability in large sizes. Naturally, a bag as coveted as the Margaux does come with a substantial price tag, ranging from $6,000 to $9,000. So if you can’t bear to fork out that amount or you’re looking for similar options then look no further. Ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the classic alternatives to the iconic Margaux bag.
Much like The Row’s Margaux bag, this number from Prada, features clean, minimalist lines emphasised by the buttery feel of soft-grain leather. The key distinction, however, lies in the Prada logo emblazoned on the front of the bag, which may be perceived as less understated compared to The Row’s aesthetic.
While the silhouette of the Appoline bag from Celine may not be as similar to The Row’s, this piece certainly gives off quiet, under-the-radar vibes. Made with suede calfskin lining, this bag also comes with a large Celine Triomphe logo at the front, a top handle and it can also be used as a crossbody with the adjustable strap.
This luxurious piece exudes quiet luxury and boasts a sumptuous texture that feels incredibly soft to the touch. Crafted from textured leather in a structured, boxy design, the bag also features sturdy top handles for added practicality and sophistication.
If you love the Sac de Jour from Saint Laurent, then you’ll dig this bowling bag version from the House. Distinguished by its brass padlock and embossed Saint Laurent Paris signature, the bag offers a spacious design that’s lined in leather, and it comes with two compartments separated by a zip pouch, so you can easily organise your belongings. To top it all off, it comes with a top handle, and an adjustable shoulder strap, so you can carry in your hand, over your shoulder, or even as a crossbody.
With a large and spacious interior, this bag showcases a unique design, highlighted by an asymmetrical back that encases the accordion details on the sides. Internally, it fastens with a ring closure and includes a keyring charm and a zippered lined pocket so you can easily organise your essentials. Aside from that, the rectangular feet studs protect the base, enhancing both style and durability.
