The Row Doctor Bag: The Doctor Is In

I have to give it to those girls: the twins are truly taking full advantage of their lifetime (albeit two short ones so far) of sartorial obsession and doing what few young entrepreneurs can: turning it into a substantial collection the fashion world (and the fashion elite) are having to reckon with. They did well with worn-in tees, leather pants, and casual gowns, but who could have expected they would knock it out of the park with their bags?

The Olsens know when it comes to sophistication, simplicity is key. The few details carrying this framed doctor bag are precise and spot-on. A stark, flat panel of silky-smooth calfskin structured over a slouched suede pouch, with tabs that peek out ever-so-slightly and capped by the only hardware to be found: this is quiet luxury at its best. An elegantly noncomplex bag like this proves there is no need to be overtly conspicuous. Definitely not when you can exude style with such subtlety. Waiting for the catch? As with everything The Row offers us, price is an obstacle. Just remember: only the best in quality leather comes with a price tag nearing $5,000. At Barneys New York for $4,750.

Pair with: When you carry such a butter-soft bag, you deserve something equally fine around your throat. Artemis Wragge’s cashmere and silk-blend scarves take luxury to new levels of interest, with intriguing coral and skull prints. Artemis Wragge Cashmere and Silk-Blend Scarves, $395.

  1. I prefer the brown pictured to the black that Ashley is carrying. I think the bag would be better if it was bigger, it looks tiny on Ashley (and she is super tiny so I can only imagine how small it is).
