If you haven’t checked out Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s new handbag line from The Row then shame on you. The bags are classic silhouettes made out of leather and exotic materials. Textiles like ostrich, lizard, alligator and leather in colors like tan, gray, blue, teal and black thus far create an exquisite collection. Total perfection.
“We didn’t do too much branding; we didn’t want an IT bag” Mary-Kate Olsen
Harper’s Bazaar June/July 2011 pg 72
Regardless of the lack of branding a lot of these bags will be "IT" bags nonetheless. Working for a well established handbag company I have seen many trends come and go but there is nothing like a classic silhouette in enduring materials. The Coach Classics collection continues to be some of the best selling bags Coach has produced and having seen Coach’s archives in New York City (not open to the public but hopefully one day) I have seen how some of the classic bags keep coming back in updated materials and hardware. The Row’s handbag line has all the ingredients to establish themselves in the industry. Mary-Kate and Ashley are fashion icons with the Midas touch, whatever they carry/wear sells out instantly. Seeing these girls carrying their favorite silhouettes is sure to create their best sellers and a clear vision for the future.
Here are a few of my favorite silhouettes from the debut collection!
