Handbag Spotlight: The Row Margaux /

If you are on social media, I am sure you have already spotted this beautiful, slouchy tote bag by The Row. The Margaux is a double handle tote, or satchel, which is made from the finest, slouchy leather and offers a soft, high-quality vibe. Love!

The Row Margaux is available in various sizes indicated by a number after the handbag name. 10 being the smallest, 15 is medium, and 17 is a large, travel tote size.

As much as I adore this beautiful investment bag, I cannot personally justify the price. If you can swing the price, invest in this bag! The Row Margaux is a fabulous investment purchase which will last a lifetime. The classic, double handle tote design combined with slouchy leather offers a timeless vibe and craftsmanship which will last through your retirement.

This handbag can be used as a work tote, a travel tote, or a tote for carrying a ton of stuff. haha If you have a lifestyle which requires the use of a spacious bag, this is the bag.

In addition to being a fabulous, timeless handbag, it is currently trending as the hottest IT bag of the moment. But, like the Givenchy Antigona, we hope to see The Row Margaux become a classic long after the hype fizzles out. While these transitions from IT status to timeless status are never for sure, there is a good chance The Row Margaux will make a smooth transition into the forever bag category.

What do you think of The Row Margaux? Is this beautiful handbag on your wish list? It is currently on my dream list. haha

handbag wish list 2024 it bags street style

So many beautiful bags! My handbag wish list is long, as always! haha So, I narrowed it down to the top six I would like to see added to my wardrobe in 2024. Let’s see if I can do it! ha!

I am looking at the bags on my handbag wish list and thinking they look like fall colors, but the doctor bag is actually a spring handbag. The dark green tote is a beautiful shade of green, but if a softer color comes in for spring, I might invest in a different hue. I just love the tote bag itself; I am not too picky about color.

See that beautiful, light beige satchel? It’s actually large, soft and floppy. It sells out quickly so I am not sure I will get my hands on one, but right now I am admiring it in photographs. If you snap one up, let me know! It’s gorgeous!

You may have noticed, I have been eyeing this small, black tote bag for quite some time. Hopefully I can snag one soon! Of course, this brown shoulder bag and this black hobo are also calling my name. So, choosing is hard! Which would you pick up first?

OK, ok, I know. I made a collage instead of a flat lay. To be frank, half of these items were in the laundry when I needed to make a flat lay so I opted to create a collage instead.

What I like about the collage is that you can see all of the tops and bottoms and how they mix and match. I think it is a clearer visual than a flat lay. What do you think?

As you can see, this winter season is again, a casual one. I am opting for investment pieces such as classic black pants, pencil skirts, cozy sweaters and jewelry. I love a classic look which can carry me from season to season without looking dated. I mean, we all have those photos from the late 1980s somewhere in our photo albums with hair sprayed hair, wild patterns, and, dare I say it, shoulder pads! The horror!

To keep memories like that from becoming cringy, timeless style is the way to go. Not only will the photos look good thirty years from now, but we can all save money over time by not buying one-season-wonders. Love that!

What are you loving for your winter capsule wardrobe this cold weather season?

Stay tuned for more seasonal yet timeless capsules!
