The Row tote and top-handle bags at Coveti

1. Clement Tote Bag in Walnut Shadow

Softly rounded tote bag in smooth saddle leather with flat handles, rectangular base with turned-edge construction, and removable leather zip pouch with embossed logo. 100% Calfskin Leather, made in Italy. 13.39 x 10.63 x 16.73 in (34 x 27 x 42 cm), L x W x H; handle drop 9.45 in (24 cm). An open shape in saddle leather that takes on a patina with use; the deep brown the house calls walnut shadow hides wear well.

2. Marlo 12 Bag in Walnut Shadow

Softly structured top-handle bag in polished saddle leather with gusseted side panels and top zipper closure. 100% Calfskin Leather, made in France. 13.98 x 5.31 x 8.27 in (36 x 13 x 21 cm), L x W x H; handle drop 6.5 in (17 cm). The Marlo has a flat base and a firmer body than the Clement, so it stands on a desk and keeps its line when full.

3. India 10.00 Bag

Updated bowling bag in textured calfskin leather with tubular handles, branded metal padlock and key, and zipper closure. 100% Calfskin Leather, made in Italy. 9.45 x 3.15 x 7.48 in (24 x 8 x 19 cm), L x W x H; handle drop 5.31 in (13 cm). Rounded and compact, with a short handle meant for the hand and the crook of the arm. Dark olive here reads as a warm brown.

4. Marcel Bag

Softly structured top-handle bag in finely grained calfskin leather with flat handles, overlap construction, nappa leather lining, and concealed top zipper closure. 100% Calfskin Leather, made in Italy. 13.19 x 5.31 x 8.07 in (34 x 13 x 20 cm), L x W x H; handle drop 5.12 in (13 cm). A slim black bag with an interior zipper pocket. It suits a black coat and a pleated trouser, and it is the easiest of the four to carry to dinner.

The Row tote bags compared

Every cell below is taken from the house product information; where The Row does not publish a figure, the table says so.

Which The Row tote bag is the right size?

Read the dimensions as length, width and height. The Clement is the tallest bag here at 16.73 in (42 cm) high with a 9.45 in (24 cm) drop, long enough to wear on the shoulder over a coat. The Marlo 12 is wider than it is tall, which suits documents laid flat. The India 10.00 and the Marcel are hand bags first: their drops of 5.31 in and 5.12 in are for carrying in the hand and on the forearm, not on the shoulder.

Does The Row make the Park Tote and the Margaux?

The Park Tote and the Margaux are among the most searched The Row bags. Coveti carries the styles the house is producing for the current delivery, and neither is part of this one. The closest alternative to the Park Tote here is the Clement Tote Bag, a soft open tote with shoulder straps. The closest to the Margaux is the Agnes, a structured top-handle bag; Agnes 12 Bag in Dark Brown and Agnes 15 Bag are in stock. For every bag the house makes, read The Row bags guide.

How to carry them

The Row designs its bags to sit with its clothes: long coats, wide trousers, flat shoes. A brown saddle leather tote looks right with navy, charcoal and camel, and a black calfskin bag with everything. Keep the strap length in mind: a shoulder tote should sit at the hip under a coat, never at the waist.

How to care for saddle leather

Saddle leather darkens and softens with handling, and that is part of the appeal. Keep it dry, wipe it with a soft cloth, and store the bag stuffed with tissue in its dust bag so the base keeps its shape. Calfskin bags such as the India and Marcel should be kept away from heat and sharp edges.
