The handbag, according to us at PurseBlog, is a vital human creation. Naturally, it is steeped in history. Ancient Egypt, credited with creating the first purse, was home to some of the earliest influencers, as seen in hieroglyphics that depict stylish ladies carrying leather pouches over their shoulders or around their waists. However, purses from the past were mainly associated with practical purposes. For example, ancient Greeks created fashion’s first mini-bags for holding aromatic oils during bathtime. Similarly, medieval merchants carried embroidered pouches with gold, jewels, and spices from the uncharted islands of the East.
In the present day, despite the abundance of trendy and timeless fashion, it appears that our fundamental human instinct is to carry things. For this reason, The Row’s Margaux carryall has emerged as an unexpected “it-bag.” Man is, after all, defined by what they carry in their purse.
If you need more convincing to join the Margaux mania, here are five reasons to consider. Happy shopping!
1. If You Know The Row, You Know The Row
The brand founded by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in 2006 has become synonymous with quiet luxury. The brand’s accessories, especially the Margaux Bag, have garnered significant attention and have become cult favorites.
2. Unbelievably Spacious (in the Best Way Possible)
The debut of the voluminous Margaux in 2018 has sparked a trend in “stealth wealth.” The bag, inspired by the Olsen’s vision, has become a hit in the fashion world. Celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kendall Jenner have been spotted flaunting the Margaux.
3. Endless Options for Everyone
Offered in various sizes, colors, and textures, the Margaux bag is undoubtedly on the higher end in terms of price. It exudes simplicity and is a balance of chic and craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from iconic bags like Hermès Birkins and Kellys.
4. The Epitome of Effortless Elegance
The Margaux fits perfectly into the lived-in chic trend of handbags. The bag is designed to accommodate the messiness of daily life while still being stylish and practical.
5. Could It Be the Next Birkin?
The Margaux has been imitated by numerous brands, indicating its influence in the fashion world. Its impact has led to speculation about whether it will rise to the same level of sartorial success enjoyed by Hermès’ classic Birkin. While it may not reach the same rarefied status, the Margaux is certainly experiencing “It” status and is gaining popularity among influencer circles. Only time will reveal its true place in fashion history.
