Magdalene EnimhienomoIf you love old money Aesthetic, you will love the row brand. They are a minimalist dream true. We all know the row bags don’t come cheap. So, rejoice as I am here to share top 5 designer handbag alternatives of the Row Margaux but cheaper to buy ASAP.
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.
