Boho Dresses

Chloe show featured so many boho dresses. That simply means that spring summer 2025 will feature boho style dresses and tops. One of my favorite boho dress from the street style look is this cute denim dress with billowy sleeves. I can wait to wear a similar dress.

Another boho dress is this cute burgundy lace dress. I love the fact that though it sheer lace, she wore it modestly unlike what we saw in the past fashion week. So many outfit with sheer pants and dresses with just bodysuit. I can’t be caught in that look. However, she wore a burgundy mini dress in it that makes love the whole look. However, I would swap the strappy heels with a pair of pumps or boots.

Fringe is in

I have a love hate relationship with fringe. Fringe was one of the hottest 2018 fashion trends that was everywhere. You will see fringe on the runway and stores. In dresses, skirts, jackets among others. I still have the same stand, no to fringe.

However, this leather blazer dress had me in a choke hold. Love the stress and the subtle fringe details. This look will be perfect with a pair of thigh high boots. However, from the pictures online, I can’t tell the type of shoes she is wearing. Do you love fringe or will pass on it? Share your thoughts below.

Bring on the suede for cooler months

As the temperature cools, so are we shopping for warm outfits. Do you think you can wear suede for all seasons? Or are you of the school of thought that suede is just for fall or winter.

Although from this look she went all in. Layered a suede skirt on loose fit pants. I will definitely ditch the pants and wear the outfit as a suede suit set. She paired the look with a brown leather bag and a black scarf. This look will be perfect with a pair of sneakers in black or brown. Love this look a lot less the pants.

All things leopard

Leopard print is a staple wardrobe essential. However, many shy from it as it more in your face. A minimalist will definitely shy away from it. As a maximalist, I use any opportunity to collect leopard prints. If you are new to styling prints, read my post on how to mix prints and pattern like a pro. This will teach how to wear leopard prints.

The first look is a lady wearing a leopard print trench dress which is cool. However, I would rather wear leopard prints as a neutral. This lady wore an off-shoulder print dress over a white button-down shirt. This is super fun. She paired the looks with a chocolate knee high boot.

If you love old money aesthetic, you know suede is luxurious. It should be part of your staple wardrobe. However, if you see suede as just a fabric, you decide if you want it or not.

The internet is buzzing about wearing suede as the season gets cooler. Some even argue that suede is meant for autumn or winter season. However, I will say that you can wear suede all year round. For example, for the summer season, wear suede in terms of accessories and Bermuda shorts. I also wrote about several on how to wear Bermuda shorts for summer.

One of my favorites featured a knit print jumper and black tennis style mini skirt. I love how pulled the look together with black tights and ankle boots. Her handbag is giving me vintage Chanel style. But I cannot tell if hers was chanel.

Another look featured this distressed style red jumper and leather pants with a slit. She went for a monochrome red look. However, I will not be caught dead in red that much. If red is your cup of tea, why not? However, I would rather style a cream jumper and a Jean Paul Gaultier leggings dupe that I love so much.

There is fashion, and there is old money fashion! In today’s world, we fondly call it the rich aunty style. I can see a sly smile on your face now as you are fully realizing what I’m talking about. Well, here must have 10 old money wardrobe essentials every fashion girl needs ASAP.

If you’re familiar with this style, you will agree that it appears simple, yet highly sophisticated. The old money fashion is one that exudes a quiet kind of luxury. Old Money aesthetic is used interchangeable with Quiet luxury. However, Old money Aesthetic is more like minimalism. If you are minimalist, this up your alley. However, unlike minimalist, old money also features cool tone colors like Pastels as well vibrant colors like red, pink among others.

I tilt to this style most times because it has a way of alleviating how you look, and it is sure to get heads to turn whenever you step into a place. Furthermore, it leaves you looking absolutely fabulous, chic, and sophisticated. 

Now, if you would love to feel like old money all year round, here are 10 wardrobe essentials you should own: 

How to dress like money: Old money wardrobe essentials

I have always thought that I need a lot of money to dress better. Boy was I wrong. Then I started looking into Quiet luxury vs old money aesthetic. I discovered I can actually dress like money even when there is no money.

Since I knew, I consciously shopped these 10 old money wardrobe essentials to pull of this rich girl vibe whenever I step out. Some of these pieces are great quality options from AliExpress as well as thrift stores.

Do not sleep on thrift stores. I have built my capsule wardrobe by shopping Thrift. I also wrote a comprehensive thrift shopping guide to help you get started.

Pearl Jewelry 

Have you seen a rich aunty step out without her Jewelry? To nail the old money look, you need to have your Jewelry. Not just any Jewelry, but your pearl Jewelry! 

Typically, pearls have long been associated with classic and elegance. Your pearl jewelry could be a simple pair of pearl studs, a strand of pearls, or a delicate bracelet. One thing about pearl jewelry is that they can never go out of style. 

Pearl jewelries are a must add to any wardrobe if you want to pull off the old money fashion. These jewelries add a touch of sophistication to any outfit without feeling overdone. 

Tailored Blazers 

I don’t know what comes to your mind when you think about old money. But aside from long gowns, I also envision well-tailored blazers that give off the boss chic vibe. 

Nothing says old money quite like a perfectly tailored blazer. Whether paired with jeans, trousers, or skirts, a well-fitted blazer can instantly elevate your outfit. I wrote about several ways to wear blazers for any occasion, you should check out.

When getting these blazers, I would recommend that you stick to neutral colors like navy, beige, black or grey. This way, you can be sure that they will pair perfectly on almost any outfit. For durability, opt for natural fabrics like wool or linen.

Cashmere Sweaters 

You see cashmere material? I always scream ‘old money’ whenever I see someone wearing a cashmere outfit. It is that subtle evidence that screams luxury. Dare I say, a cashmere sweater is the poster child of luxury. 

These sweaters are usually soft, warm, and incredibly chic. The best part? It can be paired with any outfit! Once paired with an outfit, it adds an air of refinement. 

When shopping, go for high-quality cashmere in neutral tones. The whole point is to look calm and poise when you wear cashmere sweaters. So, going for camel, cream, or black colors will give you an effortlessly polished look.

Silk Scarves

If you’ve been keeping up with the rich aunty fashion trend, then I’m sure you’re not surprised to see this amongst the options. Typically, scarves play a big role in elevating outfits. Then when it comes to silk scarves, you are getting a subtle nod to luxury, and you cannot go wrong with it! 

Whether tied around your neck, worn as a headscarf, or draped over a handbag, this accessory instantly adds elegance to your outfit. I would say you should go for any high-quality silk scarf. But they say anything doing is worth doing well. Thus, choose classic prints or solid colors to keep things timeless.

Trench Coat 

Take your mind back to the last classic movie you watched or think about times you’ve watched people play old money roles in movies. Now that I’ve juggled your memory, I’m sure you’ve remembered that trench coats play an active role in their outfits. 

A trench coat is a piece that always exudes elegance whenever it is worn. A beige or camel trench can instantly elevate any outfit, offering a sleek silhouette while keeping you protected from the elements.

When shopping, look for quality materials like cotton gabardine for a long-lasting wardrobe investment.

Tailored Trousers

Did you think we would have tailored blazers without tailored trousers? Forget the fast-fashion joggers – tailored trousers are where the old money aesthetic shines. 

When you wear well-cut, high-waisted trousers in neutral tones such as navy, charcoal, or beige, you will look polished and put-together. Then, pair these trousers with a crisp blouse or a fitted sweater and you will be the attention of the day.

Tailored Wool Coat

One thing about old money fashion is that you have to come correct at all times. It is why your outfits must be well-tailored. When you are not pulling off a trench coat, you can go for a tailored wool coat. 

When the weather cools down, a tailored wool coat helps you maintain that old money vibe. I would recommend that you stick to timeless colors like camel, navy, or charcoal and opt for a single-breasted or double-breasted design. Trust me, a well-made wool coat will last for years, keeping you warm while looking polished.

Leather Loafers 

In case you didn’t know, loafers are the quintessential old money shoe. They’re comfortable, stylish, and effortlessly preppy. 

A pair of high-quality leather loafers in black, brown, or burgundy will pair beautifully with everything from trousers to skirts. It also comes as a plus that they age beautifully over time.

Structured handbag

I won’t be surprised if you do not seem familiar with the term ‘structured handbag’. The first time I came across it, I was equally confused. However, allow me to tell you that most of the bags you rock are structured bags. Typically, structured bags are bags that have a lot of shaping and seams and can hold their shape over time. 

When you want to pull off the old money fashion, you need a handbag that is elegant, yet functional. A structured leather handbag in neutral colors like black, taupe, or cognac is the perfect investment piece. 

When shopping, look for minimal hardware and simple designs for a refined and timeless appearance.

Crisp white button-down shirt

You know how there is an unwritten fashion law that every lady must own a little black dress? I would say that every lady should also own a crisp white button-down shirt as they come in handy in pulling off any look, and the old-money fashion is not an exception. 

If you want to keep feeling like money all year round, a crisp white button-down short should be in your wardrobe. It is simple, yet sophisticated, and can be dressed up or down. Whether worn under a blazer, paired with jeans, or tucked into tailored pants, a white button-down always feels fresh and classic.

Feel free to comment below which of these old money essentials you already have in your closet. Do you like the old money aesthetics or you’re just tired of all the aesthetics. Let me know your thoughts below. Ciao

My home country Nigeria has a lot of things to do. Even if I plan to visit all these places in one year, I cannot cover it all. Asides the fun beaches, you can go hiking, canopy walk, Kayaking or visit its diverse waterfalls. I have covered most of the breathtaking waterfalls in Nigeria to add your itinerary on your visit.

Senegal

Located in West Africa, we have Senegal, an outstanding country with a friendly culture. Growing up, I didn’t know the exact location of Senegal but always heard about it. You can imagine my happiness when I discovered that this country is within my region – West Africa. 

One thing about this country is that it is super affordable, even its capital city. In some countries, the capital is always so expensive. However, in Dakar, Senegal, you can get affordable accommodation, food, and public transportation. 

I recommend that you visit the markets when in Senegal as they are usually vibrant and fun. You should also visit tourist sites like Goree Island, Pink Lake, and Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary.

Tanzania

There is always a mushy smile that comes on my face whenever I think about Tanzania as I enjoyed my last visit to this place. Typically, whenever you mention Tanzania, Zanzibar is one of the first places that comes to mind. However, allow me to tell you that there are many amazing places to visit in Tanzania. 

I liked that the locals were very welcoming during my stay at Dar Es Salam. Similar to Kenya, Tanzania is famous for its wildlife, making it a top choice for budget safaris. It is almost home to the tallest mountain in Africa – Mount Kilimanjaro.  

Places to visit in Tanzania include Serengeti National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar beaches, and Ngorongoro Crater. Africa has so many Safaris where you can watch animals in their natural habitat. I have written about budget friendly Safaris in Africa to visit.

Zambia

I like to describe Zambia as one of Africa’s best-kept secrets. I wonder why a lot of people have not hopped on the opportunity to explore this amazing country.

It is home to the famous Victoria Falls, and perfect for budget travelers looking for adventure. Some of the top attractions of this country include Victoria Falls, South Luangwa National Park, Lower Zambezi National Park, and Kafue National Park. 

Madagascar

Wouldn’t you want to explore the places mentioned in Penguins of Madagascar? From the movie, you can tell that the country is rich in biodiversity. It is known for its lemurs, baobab trees and stunning beaches. 

When visiting this country, you must not leave without seeing sites like the Avenue of the Baobabs, Nosy Be, Isalo National Park, and Tsingy de Bemaraha. 

Rwanda

This is one country that I am yet to visit, but I can tell you that it sits pretty at the top of my bucket list. I have heard so many amazing facts about Rwanda, including the fact that it is an affordable and safe destination. 

One of the top activities to do in this country is gorilla trekking. However, it could be expensive. Some other affordable activities to do in this country include visiting Volcanoes National Park, Lake Kivu, Kigali Genocide Memorial, and Nyungwe Forest.

Mozambique

Mozambique is famous for its beautiful, unspoiled beaches, marine life, and Portuguese heritage. It is one of the cheapest beach destinations in Africa as it offers affordable accommodation and fresh seafood.

You can engage in a lot of water activities while in this country. You should check out Bazaruto Archipelago, Tofo Beach, Gorongosa National Park, and Quirimbas Islands when in Mozambique. 

Namibia

Namibia is home to vast deserts, surreal landscapes, and rich wildlife. While safaris here can be pricier, affordable self-drive tours are an excellent way to explore the country on a budget.

I would recommend that you visit places like Sossusvlei Dunes, Etosha National Park, Skeleton Coast, and Fish River Canyon. Importantly, do not go to these places without a camera as you would need to capture the memories.

Egypt

There is this exciting energy that comes with talking about Egypt. Or, maybe it’s because I always fantasize about exploring the pyramids. For such an ancient country, Egypt is surprisingly affordable for travelers. 

Some of the top attractions in Egypt are Pyramids of Giza, The Sphinx, Luxor Temple, and Nile River Cruises.

Botswana

The first time I heard about rock painting was when I was reading up on Botswana, and I could immediately tell that this would be an interesting country to visit. But, is it affordable? 

I have found out that the best way to explore Botswana if you are on a budget is through self-guided tours and more affordable accommodations. I like that the affordable accommodation options are still of top quality and standards. 

Curious about what to do in Botswana, visit Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, Kalahari Desert, and Tsodilo Hills (for ancient rock paintings). 

Kenya

If I ever have to relocate to another country, Kenya would be my pick. It is a budget-friendly destination known for its wildlife and beautiful landscapes. Visitors can experience safaris in the Maasai Mara, hike in the Great Rift Valley, and explore the coastal city of Mombasa.

During my last visit to Mombasa, I stayed at Diani Beach and I almost didn’t want to return home. It gave me the feeling of being home away from home. I would also recommend that you visit Nairobi National Park.

Uganda

Often called the “Pearl of Africa,” Uganda offers visitors a mix of wildlife, stunning lakes, and lush forests. You can trek to see mountain gorillas or relax along the shores of Lake Victoria, all without breaking the bank.

Some of the top attractions of this country are  Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (for gorilla trekking), Murchison Falls National Park, Lake Victoria, and Rwenzori Mountains.

Ethiopia

For some reason, the Ethiopian currency ‘Birr” sounds so nice and this was one of the initial reasons why I wanted to visit the country. Yes, little details stand out to me and attract me to a place. 

Ethiopia is rich in history and culture and  a unique travel experience. From the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela to the historic city of Axum, Ethiopia is a budget traveler’s dream with inexpensive accommodations and food.

You should also check out Simien Mountains National Park, Blue Nile Falls, and the Ancient City of Axum.

Ghana

Allow me tell you that Ghana is one country you can visit if you are on a budget. One thing about this country is that they have unique meals for you to try. In case you didn’t know, Ghanians are huge fans of eggs and try to incorporate it into every meal. 

Top attractions to visit in Ghana include Cape Coast Cattle, Kakum National Park, Wli Waterfalls, and Mole National Park.

Malawi

Malawi is known as “The Warm Heart of Africa” and is one of the most budget-friendly countries in Africa. Some of its top attractions are Lake Malawi National Park, Mulanje Mountain, Liwonde National Park, and Nkhata Bay. 

Morocco

I love how Morocco has a fine mix of traditional and modern elements.  From the bustling markets of Marrakech to the blue streets of Chefchaouen, and the vast Sahara Desert, Morocco provides affordable accommodation, food, and transport.

I can assure you that you would make lots of memories when exploring Morocco. 

You shouldn’t think about visiting Africa without visiting Nigeria. Known as the Giant of Africa and filled with friendly people, active nightlife culture, amazing cuisines and outstanding tourist attractions, Nigeria is also an affordable place to visit in Africa.

I have always had this cute crop vest but didn’t know how to wear. So, from snooping around for the best street style looks from New York fashion week 2024, I got an idea. I love how this lady brought back that cute layering yet chic look. She styles her button-down shirt with a bustier like top in brown.

Added to this look, she went for the classic pin stripe dress pant. Oh, I love pin stripe anything now. It gives me old money vibe or stealth wealth look. And of course, a black clutch bag. I will definitely ditch the clutch as it not my style. Switch up this look with a tote bag for work. Perfection!

When many people hear of the Makoko community Lagos, they immediately imagine a slum that offers ‘nothing good.’ I know some people who have never been to this community but have a lot to say based on what they had seen on social media or passed down information they had gotten from other people.

Many people think of Lagos as the hub of recreation and wealth. Yes, there are so many fun things to do in Lagos on a budget or even free. As there is the fun, so is there the ghetto part. This is more like two sides to a coin. So, now let’s talk about the other side of Lagos, the slum or ghetto.


Sometime last year, I decided to experience the Makoko community for myself, and it was different from the typical stereotype. While it may be known as one of Nigeria’s largest informal settlements, it is also a hub of culture, warmth, and opportunity.


While visiting this community, I realized that indeed many of us live in a bubble, and I desired that more people could come and see what the Makoko community truly entails. Today, I am writing this to share some details about the Makoko community that many people do not know about.


If you’re someone who enjoys discovering the heart and soul of a city, Makoko will give you an unforgettable experience. One thing I always advise anyone who wants to visit this place is ‘you should be open-minded.’ You always need to ‘get off your high horse’ while visiting this community. What do you know about the vibrant and unique community located on the coast of Lagos, Nigeria.

Makoko Community Lagos: It is the definition of warmth

I do not know what you have seen on social media but allow me to tell you that the Makoko community is a welcoming community. One of the most striking features of Makoko is the warmth of its people. Despite the challenges they face, the community is filled with friendly and resourceful individuals eager to share their culture with visitors. I remember walking around this community and being amazed at how cheerful everyone seemed.


From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted with smiles, stories, and a strong sense of hospitality. If you’re lucky enough to stay at one of the local bed-and-breakfast hotels, you’ll experience firsthand the comfort and charm of Makoko’s accommodations.

Makoko Community has a budget-friendly fish market

Remember I mentioned that this community is located on the coast of Lagos? Makoko is also home to a thriving fishing industry. The community’s fishermen have been perfecting their trade for generations, and you can enjoy their hard work by purchasing fresh fish at budget-friendly prices.

If you are a lover of seafood, I can tell you for free that you will enjoy visiting this place. In fact, you may want to keep shopping until you do not have enough space in your bags anymore. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or looking to have a local meal prepared, the fish market is the place to be.

The bustling activity, combined with the picturesque views of the water, creates a one-of-a-kind experience. Plus, you’ll know you’re supporting the local economy directly.

It is a totally different experience

I like to describe this community as a unique place as I doubt there is any other place you would visit in the world that gives you the same vibe as the Makoko community. Beyond the hospitality and food, Makoko offers an extraordinary tourist experience.

Its famous stilt houses and waterways are fascinating to explore. On one of my outings, I took a canoe through the canals, and it allowed me to see how daily life unfolds on the water. It was quite fascinating to see such a peaceful yet bustling environment that contrasts with the fast-paced nature of other cities in Lagos.


As you explore the community, you will catch glimpses of children playing, artisans at work, and families preparing meals. This lively floating village allowed me to see life from another perspective.

Makoko Community Lagos: Gives true meaning to the Nigerian culture

Like to tell my friends that those of us living in urban cities do not get to fully experience and enjoy the actual Nigerian culture. A typical day for most of us entails going to white-collar jobs, coming back fatigued, not having time for proper interaction. However, the reverse is the case in the Makoko community.


Makoko offers a snapshot of authentic Nigerian culture that you won’t find in upscale hotels or tourist resorts. The simplicity of life here is combined with creativity and resourcefulness, as the people of Makoko have created a thriving community amidst challenges.

You’ll be immersed in the traditional music, art, and dance that are central to the community’s identity. Staying in Makoko means you’re not just a visitor; you become part of the community, engaging with its history and traditions.

Eye-catchy local businesses

You will see a variety of local businesses while in the Makoko community and staying in Makoko and spending your time there also means supporting local businesses and initiatives. Many local residents have turned to entrepreneurship to improve their lives.

Whether it’s the bed-and-breakfast hotels that offer comfortable stays or small businesses selling handcrafted goods, every purchase you make has a direct impact on the lives of the people here. So, be sure to patronize them and make friends while at it.


If you’re seeking an adventure that combines culture, hospitality, and a sense of community, then Makoko is the place for you. It’s not just a slum; it’s a place of opportunity, growth, and warmth. You will leave with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the resilience and spirit of this remarkable community.

Shoprite Lagos

Lekki Conservation Center (LCC)

My friends and I have an inner joke as they claim I am not a real Lagosian. This is because it took me a while to visit LCC. Whenever anyone comes into Lagos, LCC is one of the first recommended places for them to visit.

At LCC, you can go on the famous canopy walkway which is the longest in Africa. There are also many other activities to do at this place. I would recommend that you take along a camera and look out for monkeys, birds, and crocodiles as you explore this park.

If you’re a lover of art, this is the place to visit. Nike Art Gallery showcases the works of hundreds of local artists. From contemporary paintings to traditional sculptures and textiles, the gallery is a treasure trove of Nigerian craftsmanship.
If you’re like me who likes to know about a place before I visit, you can research the owner – Nike Davies-Okundaye.

If you’re lucky, you might meet Aunty Nike while visiting the gallery. She is a lovely woman with a wealth of art knowledge. Nike started her gallery in Oshogbo. This Nike art center Oshogbo is still there. It is a great place to learn tye dye among others.

Hotels in Lagos

New Afrika Shrine

Have you heard of Fela Anikulapo Kuti? He is fondly known as the father of afrobeat’s, and this place is dedicated to him. If you’re looking for a place to have a chill and relaxing evening, this is the place to visit. The venue hosts live music performances, with Fela’s son, Femi Kuti, often leading the charge.

The Shrine, located in Ikeja, is a key location for Lagos nightlife and is a great spot to enjoy live. Afrobeat music while mingling with locals.

Tarkwa Bay Beach

One thing about Lagos is that it isn’t lacking when it comes to beaches. If I have to start talking about beaches, I will dedicate an entire other blog to it. However, amongst the numerous beaches, Tarkwa Bay Beach stands out and is one of the most popular.

This serene beach, accessible only by boat, offers a peaceful atmosphere ideal for sunbathing, swimming, or surfing. There are also small vendors selling local delicacies, making it a great spot for relaxation. You shouldn’t leave Lagos without a Tarkwa Bay experience.

The Good beach Lagos

National Museum Lagos

If you would love to know more about Nigeria and Lagos, you should check out a museum. And the National Museum Onikan, Lagos, is one of the best to visit.

The museum’s collections include artifacts from the country’s many ethnic groups, including ancient sculptures, traditional weapons, and cultural exhibits. A visit to the museum offers a great way to understand Nigeria’s diverse heritage.
I would recommend that you shouldn’t be in a hurry while visiting this place as you need to immerse yourself in the experience to learn all that it has to offer. Trust me, you would be happy that you visited it.

Nigeria travel guide: Travel Tips

Transportation: Getting around Lagos can be challenging due to traffic congestion. If you would love to use a private ride, you should use ride-hailing apps like Uber and Bolt. They offer a safer and more reliable mode of transportation.
Typically, a regular Lagosian gets around with public buses (Danfo). These bright yellow buses are the city’s most common public transport.

However, they can be crowded and confusing for first-time visitors.

Currency: The Nigerian currency is the Naira (₦). It’s advisable to have some local currency on hand for small purchases, as not all places accept card payments. ATMs are widely available in Lagos, but it’s wise to inform your bank of your travel plans to avoid issues with card usage. Always exchange currency at official exchange bureaus
for the best rates.

Weather: Lagos has a tropical climate, with a wet season (April to October) and a dry season (November to March). Lightweight and breathable clothing is recommended year-round due to the heat and humidity. If visiting during the wet season, carry a light rain jacket or umbrella. Sunscreen and insect repellent are also must-haves.

Safety: I would like to describe Lagos as a relatively safe city. But like any large metropolis, you have to be careful and cautious while moving around. For example, avoid walking alone at night, especially in unfamiliar areas. In addition, be cautious in crowded places as pickpocketing can occur.

Local Etiquette: Nigerians are big on greetings which is why you should also be polite. For example, always say “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” when meeting someone for the first time. When meeting someone for the first time, a firm handshake and a smile is a common greeting.

English is also the official language in Nigeria, so communication should not be a problem. However, learning a few basic phrases in Yoruba (widely spoken in Lagos) can be appreciated.

Nigeria shares border with a number of countries. So, if you’re interested in visiting other west African countries. Do well to check Republic of Benin, Ghana, Togo among other. Visiting the Republic of Benin next, check out these fun things to do while you plan your itinerary.

Don’t want to stress yourself planning your tour in the city. Check out Getyourguide for fun places to see and tour options. I have detailed travel resources section that you’d fine useful.

Earlier this year, the Row Margaux bag was likened to a Birkin bag. However, based on price range, one can say it is an affordable option to the Birkin bag. Although, for me I will say if you cannot get a Birkin bag, go for the Kelly’s. The reason I love Hermes is because of their name and of course their quality. Also, their handbags tend to retain their value over time.

Others argued that the row Margaux is never going be a Birkin. Well, I agree with this school of thought. This is because the row Margaux may be popular. Yet, you cannot see it retaining its value over time like Birkin bag. So, before we talk about the row Margaux alternatives, let’s talk about this bag that that the girlies are loving.

The Row brand is made for the old money or people with wealth kind of. They have very few stores even in the US their birth location. Also, their handbags sell out fast. So, if you love it, grab it. They thrive by being limited and exclusive to a few. This is like the strategy of the Hermes Birkin bag. No wonder many see it as the next Birkin bag.


Do I want the row Margaux bag? Of course, yes. Especially in the suede material. Brown or black, either is fine by me. However, I still would buy a Hermes Birkin bag alongside. I will start with Togo leather Birkin and move my way up. Do you think the row Margaux bag is the new Birkin bag? Would you buy both Hermes Birkin and the row Margaux bag? Share your thoughts below.
