The Row’s Margaux bag—whether in suede, smooth, or pebbled leather—is one of the most sought-after handbags in all of fashion, only really coming second to Hermès in demand. Everybody wants one, and if they’re saying they don’t, they’re lying. Unfortunately, like an Hermès bag, especially a Kelly or Birkin, Margaux bags aren’t that easy to come by, and if you do find yourself face-to-face with one that’s up for sale, you’ll have to pay top dollar for it.
There is one way around the price and availability factors. If it’s the shape and style of the Margaux that you love and not necessarily the status that owning one brings you, I found the perfect solution. This week, H&M dropped a top-handle shopper in black that has generally the same look as the Margaux but costs just $55. And somehow, it hasn’t sold out yet.
The tote, which measures at 15″x11″7 1/2″, features the same dual side buckles, metal studs at its base, and long top handles as the Margaux, three of the qualities that make The Row’s best-selling bag so practical and smart. It has subtle gold hardware and a smooth leather-like exterior. Essentially, it’s the best affordable The Row alt on the market right now. And trust me, I’ve looked at a lot of them.
Scroll down to shop the $55 shopper before it sells out, which it will, and probably very soon.
