Not sure if anyone cares😂 but stalking for only 1-2 days paid off bc the 10s were restocked on their website yesterday! Snagged this exact one🥹🥹💕 I was too enthralled to check what else may have been available

Congratulations hope to see pics when you get it. I’ve just checked the UK site but still out of stock for me. I’m wondering if it’s a seasonal colour.

I got the canvas paneled one! I love it, just getting used to the size and weight. All our (my wife's) other bags are smalle bags as we don't typically use larger bags, but thought we'd get this for travel and when we need something a bit bigger.
Yes, it's great. If you're looking for slouch, this version is probably not it. The structures of the stiffer canvas/cotton/linen does not give like their shiny leather version does.
I know you posted this a while ago, but can I ask where you purchased your bag? I recently bought the same bag from a resale site and the stiffness makes me concerned that it is not authentic, even though it was approved as authentic by the resale site. Does the canvas move or slide around at all against the backing or does it seem to be glued to the backing? Some of the photos of this bag (i.e. especially the photos from Nordstrom) make it look like the canvas should be a little softer/moveable. Thanks!

Hah... I wonder if you're the person who bought mine. I just recently sold mine on Vestiare Collective. Anyways, I purchased it on Bergdorf Goodman. The bag is supposed to be pretty stiff, and I'm not sure if it becomes more relaxed. It's more of a waxed canvas so it is stiffer than regular linen or cotton panels. I would not be worried about it being fake. I haven't heard of any fakes of the canvas/leather Margaux since it's not really a common bag.

Since you might be wondering why I sold mine - I sold it because I realized the 15 size is too large. I bought it intending for it to be our travel bag, but it's too heavy to serve that role. Back to the Longchamp it is!

Thank you for your reply. I wish I bought yours - I purchased from another site and remain worried about the bag. Literally everything matches in the photos and all the stitching is correct, but the 'feel'and smell just aren't quite right. I feel like you can tell an authentic The Row bag just by how it feels. Do you remember if you could smell a rich leather smell with the bag? Did the canvas feel soft or more coarse?

Yea, it was my one and only The Row bag so I'm not too familiar with their bags outside of the one bag I had.

I don't think it had a super rich leather small given the majority of the bag is canvas. The canvas was coarse, especially the panels on the outside of the bag. I think the inner lining canvas was a bit softer? Maybe?

Honestly, I highly doubt there are fakes of this specific model of the Margaux out there given how obscure it is.
 
The Margaux 10 I ordered from the website came! My everyday toss around bag is the row banana bag two in nylon- so I have it here as a size comparison. It fits everything I put in the banana bag, but I have very young children so the Margaux probably won’t make it to outings requiring diapers😂🙏🏻 thanks for letting me share!

Thank you so much for your help. I am feeling a bit better about it all. I really, really love this bag and really, really hope this one is authentic because I am not sure when/if I'd been able to find it again!
