Honestly I want the Margaux bc I want something not as recognizable that I can wear every day. I know it’s all over TikTok but the birkin has such recognition now it can be uncomfortable sometimes.
Congratulations Mary! Such a great addition to your amazing collection. The black and grained leather looks so chic and functional. Love this beautiful! 🤎😘
Oh wow, you finally got it. It is GORGEOUS! You'll be using that bag for a long, long time. I want the 17, smooth in brown so bad, but I've spent so much on myself lately, so I just can't bring myself to make the purchase.
I feel you! In the end this bag is a classic for the brand at this point, so there is no rush. I waited and debated for some time, and then sold off some items to make it happen. But I was fine taking my time because I knew this was going to be there. Thank you for watching♥️
Wow I love your new purchase. I would go for a Margaux in this size in a pebbled or grained leather too. I know I would get so much use out of it. The size looks fantastic on you. I would love to hear a review in a few weeks to see how you feel about it and how much you use it. Have a fab day x
Uggghhhh…..wow. It’s gorgeous. Congrats!! The bag is a great size for you. Btw, I think you mentioned you were looking for a brown overcoat? Take a look at the Toteme runway show today, look 10. It’d look gorgeous on you. Looks like a wool/suiting mix? It probably won’t be available for a while, but at least Toteme has better price points than most other brands. It’s actually a really gorgeous show, would love your opinion on like The Row vs Toteme lol. Congrats again on the Margaux bag! It looks perfect on you.
I love Toteme and was so great to see how the brand has grown and now with runways shows. Thanks for the tip!! I have a few RTW items from Toteme and definitely better priced than the Row. My opinion is both brands do minimalism from regional perspectives, one is Scandi the other is NY - both different and have their own reference points. I do think The Row in terms of quality is superior, but of course the price is more🤷🏻♀️ Thank you so much for watching Pat❤
Yes I wish I could pull off the Margaux 15, but its even bigger than the 35, which already feels massive. The 10 is the right fit. Thank you for watching♥️♥️♥️
Enjoyed your thorough commentary on the Margaux. I ordered the dark taupe version in the 10 size from The Row and returned it because the size was just a bit too small for me. I really loved the color and the style of the bag, though. Ended up with the size 12 in cognac from MyTheresa. It's a gorgeous reddish brown. I've been carrying it for a few days now and love it. It is the perfect everyday bag, but I also think it could go fairly dressy or corporate if needed. Will definitely keep my eye open for the 12 in black - I haven't seen it available anywhere. I did put my name on a few waitlists. Also - I agree with you. Comparing this to a Berkin is like apples to oranges. Just not the same thing at all.
Mary, your new bag is beautiful! I’m so indecisive sometimes. I can see myself pondering the size and colorway for a really long time. You’re definitely going to need to get a bag insert to protect that lovely creamy interior. Have you done a review of your entire collection and how each bag ended up with you? I would LOVE to see that! ♥️
I was in Tokyo last week and the Margaux was sold out unfortunately. I was able to see one at a preloved store in a smooth calf leather and it was so scratched up so it’s good that you got the grained one. The margaux 10 size is a good size. Congratulations! Will wait for your Birkin and Margaux comparison :)
I really like the Margaux, but it is getting so overhyped. There is a Margaux though that doesn't have the side buckles and has sharp angular corners that looks interesting. I want the grained leather though and I have only seen it with smooth calf skin. The Devon bag is interesting as well
I live in Europe and it’s great to be able to buy things on Vinted from Italy, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Portugal etc.. However - it is shocking how many fake The Row bags are being listed. I’m afraid this would totally put me off buying a genuine one! There are so many “under the radar” brands which are more interesting and individual. I don’t believe in buying into a brand which is being posted all over Instagram.
The fake ones have a completely different weight and leather feel to them. Even after seeing some good ones it’s just immediately apparent they’re not original.
I think you made the right choice with the size. While the large bag may look great on 5’8”-5’11” models and celebrities, the smaller size coordinates with your height and petite frame much better. Congrats!
Congrats I have become a big row fan due to Neelam Ahooja and I only exclusively buy the brand. I love the understated elegance, and the quality of everything they make. I feel like I found my unicorn in the fashion industry will never stray.
I am a new listener of your blog. I have to say I respect your knowledge and energy you provide to your audience. I retail women’s and men’s clothing and depend on influencers such as yourself for a in tuned fashion perspective.
This is totally unrelated but I have been binge watching your past videos and I am wondering if you can share what size your vintage Bottega Veneta Black hobo bag is? I am on the hunt for one but the sizes are confusing to me. Thanks in advance! LOVE your channel!
Hi Mary! How are you feeling now about the Margaux 10? I just ordered one after seeing this video and it’s smaller than I expected. I was going to get the Celine small 16 which I love. Which of these bags do you like better? I feel Celine is beautiful quality and elegant. I’m not sure the Margaux is as nice. I have several black bags with gold hardware. I need ed something without gold. I really appreciate your style and opinion! Thanks so much!
I honestly love them both, for different reasons. I think the Margaux leans more casual, the Celine 16 is a bit more dressed up. I think if you lean more casual or dressy than go with the more casual or dressy style. Thank you so much for watching❤
Yayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! Omg as always I just lit up with joy for you 😍😍😍😍😍 this size/color/leather is truly perfection on you, and how literally perfect is it together with the Sofia 🖤 You were so incredibly thoughtful with this purchase, and truly filled the absolute perfect size/shape/color void. It’s perfection 🩶
Yess!! So glad to have thought it through♥️ I was so set on the 15, then the 12 but it was the 10 that would be the one that would add something new to my collection. Thank you so much for watching🙏🙏🙏
How exciting! I'm so happy for u! I have the 10 in the dark taupe pebbled leather and just bought the 15 in black pebbled leather today. I can't wait to get it! I too don't carry much so the 10 is perfect but I wanted a big slouchy comfy everyday bag so I thought I'd give the 15 a go. I also considered the ivory but it's sold out :( Isn't the 10 unbelievably light weight!?
Wow, congrats!!!! Such great news to wake up to. Had to write a comment before even watching because I’m so excited. Gonna grab myself a coffee first 😀😀
I also thought you'd get the 15 in the chocolate brown or the black color! After your explanation, the size 10 is the smartest move for you! It also looks great with your petite frame. My personal favorite size is the 17 in brown suede or black leather. Do you also happen to know which site carries the Margaux 15 or 17 in silver/palladium hardware instead of rose gold or yellow gold? So happy for you and I hope to see you style it on your instagram!
Yes the larger sizes are so chic and have such a great slouch♥️ I'm checking now and Mytheresa has the Margaux 17 in the grain with palladium. Thank you so much for watching Isaac🙌
I definitely think buying at full retail directly from the row or other reputable retailers is the way to go!! Buying luxury resell especially in N.America is a huge gamble. So many fakes out there… I know one specific very popular luxury consignment in Seattle is consistently selling fakes
How are you finding the strap drop? It's not adjustable, right? I was waffling over the 12 a few days ago and should have just bought it, now it's gone everywhere! 😂
@@MarysRoom Ok I ended up getting the 10 like yours. And I love it! So great for every day, goes with everything...elevates casual outfits but is easily dressed up. Glad I snagged it now!
I prefer the Margaux over the Birkin. Also can’t imagine carrying a bag worth 20k on the regular
I feel the same. It's not so much what I spent, it's that now many know the value of these bags that would make me wary of when/where I carry it
Same. I love my Margaux. ❤
Fair point! I 3500 vs 20,000 (depending on the colour/leather) preloved is a huge jump. Thank you for watching♥️
Honestly I want the Margaux bc I want something not as recognizable that I can wear every day. I know it’s all over TikTok but the birkin has such recognition now it can be uncomfortable sometimes.
Congratulations Mary! Such a great addition to your amazing collection. The black and grained leather looks so chic and functional. Love this beautiful! 🤎😘
Yes! So hearty and delicious in the grain❤️
Stunning! Bravo🎉! Great choice, on size and style of bag. Margaux was destined for your collection.Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Francine❤
Beautiful bag! I was wavering between the 10 and 15...I think the strap on the 10 sold me on the size. Thank you for sharing!
Ohh yes the strap is a gamechanger. Thank you for watching♥️
Oh wow, you finally got it. It is GORGEOUS! You'll be using that bag for a long, long time. I want the 17, smooth in brown so bad, but I've spent so much on myself lately, so I just can't bring myself to make the purchase.

Congratulations. It’s a beautiful bag. This is the one I’m looking at as well. Will wait to hear your first impressions.
Will have a first impressions video coming. Thank you for watching♥️♥️♥️
Congratulations! What a nice way to start 2024! :) And yes, peace of mind about authenticity is everything.
Yes!! At this price point and the limited sellers I would rather just go to the source than preloved. Thank you so much for watching❤
Wow I love your new purchase. I would go for a Margaux in this size in a pebbled or grained leather too. I know I would get so much use out of it. The size looks fantastic on you. I would love to hear a review in a few weeks to see how you feel about it and how much you use it. Have a fab day x
Yes!! Will definitely have a first impressions in a few weeks or month! Thank you for watching Maria♥️

Beautiful bag. Both are on my next milestone birthday wishlist. I would appreciate a comparison video on The Row v Birkin. Thank you.
Will do❤ Thank you so much for watching🙌
Hi Mary, congrats on your new beauty it’s stunning and looks larger on your frame I think you made the perfect decision.💚💚💚💚
Yes I wish I could pull off the Margaux 15, but its even bigger than the 35, which already feels massive. The 10 is the right fit. Thank you for watching♥️♥️♥️
I just unboxed my Margaux 10 a few days ago too! Been using it since I got it, love it ❤
Congrats!!! It's so good, haven't taken my items out since❤

You’re definitely going to need to get a bag insert to protect that lovely creamy interior. Have you done a review of your entire collection and how each bag ended up with you?

A bag insert would completely defeat the bag’s style/purpose.
Yeah you are probably right about that. With every bag I put an insert in, it definitely does change the structure.
Thank you Ruth♥️ I really need to do a bag collection, but it's very overwhelming! Thank you so much for watching 🙌
That is the EXACT combo I want - size ten, pebbled leather, black, with silver hardware. You lucky girl. :-)
Thank you so much Wendy🙌♥️

Ohh I know the one you are talking about. The Devon is great too! Thank you for watching♥️
I think you picked the right size. It suits your frame and will be easy to pull out for all sorts of occasions.
Yes I agree Irene! Thank you so much for watching❤❤❤
@@MarysRoom I’m enjoying your thoughtful content and commentary 🇨🇦
So happy for you! It looks like a wonderful addition.

Great point Stella! Yes I think the 10 is the right size for me. Thank you for watching♥️

I really like the bag, but i often gravitate towards shorter handles. Just like the handles the birkin. Enjoy. ❤
There is something so elegant about a shorter top handle. Thank you for watching❤

Congratulations - beautiful choice. It reminds me of my LV City Steamer PM. QUESTION - what is the shoulder strap length/drop please?
The strap drop length is 21in. Thank you so much❤❤❤

@@MarysRoom I recently found u and glad I did bc have very similar taste 🥰
I LOVE my Margaux 15 but i only wear it to my office job. If i didn’t have a laptop to carry, i would go with a Margaux 12 or 10
Ohh yes the Margaux 15 is such a great everyday work bag🙌♥️
Wow, congrats!!!! Such great news to wake up to. Had to write a comment before even watching because I’m so excited. Gonna grab myself a coffee first 😀😀
Thank you so much for watching Donv♥️
OMG you got it! Congratulations!
Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️
Congratulations Mary! 😊
Thank you so much❤❤❤
Beautiful! Hoping to find the Burgundy in 15
Hope you find it!! Thank you for watching♥️
Were you tempted to get the shiny-er smooth leather? Great video (again).
If I wasn't wearing it with my toddler in mind I would consider the smooth leather. Love both leathers❤
I also thought you'd get the 15 in the chocolate brown or the black color! After your explanation, the size 10 is the smartest move for you! It also looks great with your petite frame.

Lucky you. It’s gorgeous

I definitely think buying at full retail directly from the row or other reputable retailers is the way to go!!
Buying luxury resell especially in N.America is a huge gamble.
So many fakes out there… I know one specific very popular luxury consignment in Seattle is consistently selling fakes
Yes it's getting so hard to navigate the preloved market nowadays. Thank you so much for watching❤️
Compare please would love to know your thoughts. Thank you
Will definitely do❤❤❤
Do you get a discount on the bag for your promotion?
I paid reg price with my own money😊
How are you finding the strap drop? It's not adjustable, right? I was waffling over the 12 a few days ago and should have just bought it, now it's gone everywhere! 😂
I think the size leans more shoulder or crossbody. Yes the 12 is sold out everywhere😭 Thank you for watching❤
@@MarysRoom Ok I ended up getting the 10 like yours. And I love it! So great for every day, goes with everything...elevates casual outfits but is easily dressed up. Glad I snagged it now!
The Ferragamo Hug bag would be a good choice because this Row bag is being faked into oblivion and they are really undetectable!!!
Love the Hug Bag🙏♥️ Thank you for watching!
Congrats
Hello. I work with a brand. Where could WE reach you to send gifts ?
OMG CONGRATS!!!❤❤🎉🎉
Thank you so much Liz❤
Beautiful bag! Much nicer than a Birken. Still think both are very overpriced.
Thank you for watching Mariposa❤
It’s the perfect bag ❤
It is such a great fit♥️♥️♥️
Weeeeee! U finally got her!
yes!! Finally♥️♥️♥️
I regret selling my Margaux, it's a great bag
Ohh no😭 Hope you can get one back one day❤
congrats :)
Thank you so much for watching❤
I don't care for the games of Hermès so i prefer The Row or Delvaux.
