Handbags

Four numbered sizes: 10, 12, 15 and 17. The number rises with the width of the bag. The 10 takes a phone, cards and keys; the 12 adds room for a paperback and is the base of the Margaux Shoulder; the 15 is the everyday size and holds a tablet; the 17 is a true tote with room for a laptop. Our Margaux size guide sets them side by side.

The Soft Margaux is cut from supple leather or suede that relaxes as you carry it. The original Margaux holds its domed shape. The Margaux Ceinture uses cotton canvas with a leather belt, and the Margaux Shoulder lengthens the handles so it sits on the shoulder.

Black, Deep Brown, Dark Pine, New Burgundy Saddle, Smoked Taupe, Dark Taupe, Night Navy, Midnight, Mid Grey, Muschio, Acero, Sandpit, Koala Grey and Timouse Grey, plus Black, Nut Brown and Mocha suede. Dark Pine comes in the Soft Margaux 10 and 15 and the Margaux Shoulder 12; Burgundy in the Soft Margaux 10 and 12.

In our current stock the Soft Margaux 10 runs from $3,850 to $4,865, the 12 from $5,215 to $5,775, the 15 from $5,075 to $6,195 and the 17 from $5,915 to $7,350. Saddle leather and suede sit at the top of each range.

For most people, a Soft Margaux 15 or a Marlo Tote, because both carry a full day. The Park Tote and the Barn are lighter, lower-priced alternatives. Read why The Row bags are trending for a shape-by-shape comparison.
