The Tamesis
By now, we’ve all agreed that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have an uncanny ability to make us want to buy things. We dissect Margaux – its rise, dominance and premature discontinuation – and its recent structured, no-nonsense Indian package. But let The Row quietly add another contender to the conversation. The Row Marcel bag isn’t competing for attention, it already has it.
OK
OK
If Margaux is your effortlessly stylish friend and India is your sister, then Marcel somehow manages to be both. Made in Italy from nappa leather, this piece is durable, well-constructed, and has a business feel, while being soft, comfortable, and durable. Its gently sloping curves give the rectangular shape a sense of ease, with two top handles in the middle (unlike the shell Marcel himself). Hidden zipper closure keeps things tidy. It’s a quiet IYKYK moment, which is certainly what The Row does best.
