The question that is setting the fashion world off at the moment is: Is The Row Margaux bag the new Birkin, what do we think?
Honestly, the answer to this is so clear. The Row is making itself a staple in the luxury fashion world and there is no doubt that this bag is highly coveted at the moment, especially with the ‘quiet luxury’ trend in play. But the Hermes Birkin is the hierarchy of all designer bags which is why any handbag that people desire is compared to it.
You can only purchase two quota bags (including the Birkin) a year from Hermes and that’s if you’re lucky enough to be offered each of them, also the average resale value for a Birkin is double the retail price. Whereas The Row Margaux is easily available, you can buy it from their stores with no hassle and many other retailers that they stock with. Hermes would never! Plus the resale prices of The Row Margaux are very similar to the store prices at the moment.
The only similarity between the two and their values, is they both are not shy of a price increase and they are both due for one soon. The main reason recommend to buy your Row Margaux bags now is because of price increases, particularly with this conversation happening. The luxury tactic that The Row and Hermes implement to make people feel like they need to buy it right away before another one happens. It’s working…
Ultimately there isn’t the same fuel for the Margaux as the Birkin, so we say this theory is not true right now. However, give it a few years and maybe the trendy ‘It’ Row bag will be held in a different regard. Who knows?
