Spring doesn’t officially start until March, but my brain, my closet, and The Row Spring collection are here to tell you otherwise. I’ve been spending far too much time on the internet (lucky for you, very unfortunate for my wallet), and I’m here to spill all the beans.
I browsed The Row’s Spring collection the day it was released and, to be completely frank, I was a bit underwhelmed at first, aside from a few pieces I’ll share more about below. Last year’s collection was all the rage. There was so much to choose from, and new silhouettes and colorswere introduced that came with plenty of buzz. This season, it feels like they’ve chosen to lay low and reinforce what already works, honing in on a few classics from past seasons. In a way, that restraint feels very on brand and I’m very much on board.
For starters, they brought back my beloved Estelle bag from the Spring 2024 collection. I happened to snag it in brown that year and didn’t hear much about it until the following season. But that’s what tends to happen with The Row. The slow burn is part of the seduction. Once you catch its fire, it consumes you. The Estelle is one of those pieces that simmered quietly. It seems they noticed, releasing limited runs in black and white (the white available via Vestiaire) last year, perhaps to let the demand build. This season, they have leaned heavily into the black and introduced a new burnt cream shade as well. Both colors are also available in oversized versions.
Personally, the oversized version (here’s the black) is not for me. The material feels a bit too precious, and I worry that carrying too much weight would compromise it quickly.
On the other hand, as much as I tried to resist, I bought the damn thing in black via MyTheresa. I simply couldn’t help myself. I haven’t been able to put the brown one down, and it felt justified to have the same shape in another color. And while I was already rolling down that hill, I managed to snag the very sought-after Idaho in black from The Row’s site after spotting it back in stock (available here via The Webster). I debated it for a couple of hours before finally pulling the trigger. Honestly, I was shocked it was still available given how high the demand has been.
When it was first released, I wasn’t particularly drawn to the shape or the fabric. But lately, I’ve been craving a canvas bag for very casual outings, and this one kept coming to mind. It feels like the perfect piece to look put together while still getting things done without worrying about scuffs or getting caught in the rain. I’ve already worn it around town for errands, to the grocery store, and to an early diner dinner. It fits a ton and weighs nothing—and that’s always a win in my book.
Now that their Spring collection has dropped across other retailers, including MyTheresa, Fwrd, Moda Operandi, Net-a-Porter, and the like, and after far too many hours of endless browsing, my feelings feel validated. I’m seeing so many of their classics reissued in different colors, and I love to see it.
The Combo slides are a closet staple, I have them in black smooth leather (seen above), they now come in this beautiful cream color, velvet black, and red. The Nuance bag has been burning a hole in my wishlist, I want it so bad but I keep putting it off for some odd reason. It now comes with sleeker stitching, less noticeable but I’m still very much in love with the original. A new bag shape was introduced and it has my attention. It’s the little sister to the Terrasse, I love how minimal it is and it’s available for preorder here. I can’t wait to see the IG photos roll out from everyone who grabbed one. I’m also really into this shade in the mini park tote.
Other items in new versions worth mentioning are the City Flip Flop and the Soft Loafers. I’m loving the contrast in colors on the City Flops. I wore my black pair nonstop last year and still can’t get enough (fully restocked here). The Soft Loafers are a cult classic for a reason, and I love that they’re giving the people even more color options in this leather.
I recently checked the Maira sweater off my wishlist. Otherwise, my hands would be all over this new Nitha sweater. I did, however, add this new Floris long sleeve to that same wishlist. At first glance, it feels like an unnecessary splurge, but once you look closely, you notice the cut and the perfect dropped shoulder, which give this long sleeve a vintage feel.
And do I even need to say anything about their pants? I’m a big fan of the Carly in corduroy but this new pair looks really good, and there’s also a denim version.
Last but certainly not least, I’m very into this beautiful cashmere set.
