I visit The Row website once a week. That’s because I love seeing what new bags The Row releases and predicting which ones will sell out next. One day last month, as I was browsing through the merchandise, I noticed some new winter bags, including The Sally, and had a good feeling. Let me tell you why.
The Sally bag is crafted from soft, slouchy pebble leather and features a folded silhouette, single top handle and a classy concealed button closure. Unencumbered by logos or hardware, its design embodies everything The Row stands for: timeless elegance and impeccable craftsmanship, captivating insiders with its irresistible IYKYK charm.
What’s the most surprising detail? Priced at less than $100, which is rare for a bag from The Row. I knew this would sell out quickly, and I was right. A few days later, when I checked the site again, it was sold out. Gone are retailers like Mytheresa and Net-a-Porter.
It seems like only the most die-hard The Row fans or those with a personal shopper were able to get their hands on it. After a few days, I started seeing Sally’s bags on the arms of style icons like Jennifer Lawrence and Dakota Fanning, as well as the chic fashion people I follow on Instagram. They all have an enviable collection of The Row handbags. I take it with me on a night out because its compact design is perfect for holding essentials like a designer card holder and a few lipsticks.
If you want to get your hands on this soft, slouchy top-handle style, we recommend joining our waitlist. However, if you’re like me and want to get ahead of the curve, I’ve hand-picked elegant, similar alternatives that you can buy right now.
