The Row handbag line is the Olsen twin's long-awaited collection of [luxury bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag) under their successful clothing line. The high-end line consisted of minimalist basics and well-constructed wardrobe staples like blazers and t-shirts. These days, the label boasts more than 125 pieces in its collection, now including chic purses. The Row is not only critically praised but is also a favourite among the Olsen twins' fellow celebrities.

The Row handbag line does not include just any old handbags, but extremely luxe, chic, and classic ones that may set you back a pretty penny. Prices start at $4,700 for each of these [classic-structured bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/djourney-handbag). The eight-piece The Row handbag collection is a far cry from the days of the Olsen twins' "boho-chic" days. The Row handbags are well-structured, indulgent investment pieces made from luxurious skins like ostrich, alligator, and lizard.
