No need for the usual binary arguments. I happen to like the styles & am not particularly interested in anybody targeting me for being OLD, MANLY & FRUMPY. But I am aware of the breathless hype & astounding prices for fashion. It’s fashion, guys… not LIFE. Another example of the social media-fueled nonsense destroying what used to be an enjoyable way to express ourselves. Personally, I’d much rather spend $10,000 on a trip than a coat, but shrug if somebody has different values…just don’t shame my personal style.

to me THE ROW is overpriced and now overhyped... its not worth it.. if you wanna look OLD AND MANLY AND FRUMPY 100% MANREPPELING buy THE ROW good quality or not.. my opinion

Always slow when speaking i have to play it at 1.5 speed

Luckily I am from the city where trends are not so popular. I never seen another person wearing a Margaux. I must admit, I unfollowed a lot of influencers and clicked “do not recommend channel” to clean my recommendations that are trend led. I have very few people I follow now and youtube recommendations are improving. Its just another way to tailor my online socials and keep my mind crisp and not too involved whats trending whats not and make my purchases in what I like. Thanks again ❤

I don't think I would spend $9,000 or more on a bag that did not come strait from the brand, it's just not worth the risk. I recently bought the Margaux, obviously at it's peak. I knew it wouldn't be there if I waited any longer, and I was correct. The very next day after making the purchase, the bag was no longer in stock. In fact, I believe every single Margaux bag on The Row site was gone. I definitely lucked out. No doubt I would have been tempted to purchase on the resale market had I not snagged it last minute.

Love that even though not all your RTW pieces are from The Row, you really manage to capture that vibe!!!

On another note, do you feel like the brand has also changed the way they do business, in regards to sales strategies and customer service due to this recent boom? Maybe it was just a bad day but I have been a big fan of The Row for a long time and was super excited to go to the store while I was in London. I was COMPLETELY thrown off by the customer service. To say they were rude is an understatement. I was asking politely about specific pieces that I wanted to buy, shoes and RTW, and was met with very cold "no" and lots of judgement. I was asking if they had anything similar etc, trying to get any sort of help or assistance and nothing. They were just glaring at us. My friends and I were so thrown off we all left the store empty handed after we had all planned to buy something. To me that is not luxury. Just thought I would share my disappointment, hope that isn't a regular thing at the store, especially with the price points they offer.

People always want something that is hard to get, be it a bag, a watch, a restaurant or a car, it’s the chase that they are after, and the superiority that they get after obtaining it, the kind of I have it you don’t status. Once the scarcity is gone, the allure will disappear instantly. The brand plays the scarcity game too well is Hermes. The kind of humiliation some of those people go through to pay tens and thousands of dollars for a Hermes bag is mind boggling. At the end of the day, it’s just a damn bag. Hey it’s human nature, there will always be another chase.

I purchased a Margaux 15 in Cuir in January and the leather was so extremely soft, it would mark and scratch if anything at all touched it, even soft things. As I was unwrapping the bag, my cell phone touched the outside of the bag and there was a permanent cell phone shaped mark. I know some bags look gorgeous with age but I think if it came in contact with any liquid or food, I don’t think it would be repairable. It was gorgeous but I didn’t feel like it would be practical enough for a long term daily use bag which is what I need, so I needed up exchanging for a black pebble leather 15 (thanks to your recommendation), and I love it. It’s still very soft, but also very durable so I can take her with me everywhere and not be worried.

Would love to see some Row inspired spring summer styling. How to get the look without the big coat!

So Beautiful and classy !

Thank you for your videos! I love your approach and style and 100% agree with your opinion.

Another thoughtful video and addition to the Margaux madness discussion! Your voice of discernment is needed here ❤ Ive been admiring the suede iterations from a far… I’m in no rush ! Like most things in life, the really exceptional things are worth waiting for! This is indeed a massive purchase, and I appreciate your honesty around that. It’s not normal to be buying a new $6,000 bag 2x monthly for review. If you can do that fantastic but if you can’t that’s where the bulk of us are at too. It’s an investment. Have a great weekend ❤

Hola Neelam . Disfruto ver tus vídeos , tu estilo me gusta aún más . Gracias

Thanks for the video! I love your hair btw.

Even after you advised getting the 15 over the 12, I thought I knew better and purchased the 12. When it arrived, I realized I would not be able to fit the things I like to carry and purchased a 15. I sold my 12 on The RealReal and I can confirm that the hype is real because it sold in one day at the RealReal listed price of $4,050. I earned almost $3,000 in commission. This took the sting out of buying the wrong bag. I agree with another commenter here about deleting most influencers. You are very down-to-earth and honest and I enjoy everything you post!

I saw a youtuber with taupe colored Margaux bag. Not gonna lie, I like it a lot. Could be a nice work bag. It looks way more practical than any Birkin or other luxury bags.

Hey Neelam, even though I'm a guy fan of The Row I still love watching your videos since no one is breaking down the brand's pieces in detail like you are! Thank you!

May I just say, I love all of your videos but particularly this one. I love how you take the time to go through why you buy the Margaux and all the emotions associated with it. It is a huge purchase…people justify the purchase because it’s the IT bag and why not. For me, I have had plenty of chances to buy as I have been following the inventory but I can’t quite justify the cost with my projected use. I have purchased way too many luxury goods because they were a hit and everyone had it, but really I never used them enough to justify how much I paid for them. Thank you for highlighting the financial impact and some thoughtful planning that goes behind the scene. I love the fact that you analyze your cause for purchase and the products carefully❤ Thank you!!!

Frustration among loyalists is so well said!
