Dubbed a study in contrast, The Row’s black patent leather/Nile crocodile leather bags have been adorned with the colorful “spots” made famous by Hirst’s works that have been on a worldwide tour. The bags will be sold in this year’s Gagosian Gallery. Christmas Pop Up shop. The edition is strictly limited with 12 signed and numbered by the artist, on sale for GULP! $55,000

Since its launch, the brand has expanded to include a range of ready-to-wear, eyewear, and handbags. THE ROW reflects a sense of relaxed and timeless elegance, focusing on fine fabrics and the perfect fit. In 2012, The Council of Fashion Designers of America named Ashley and Mary-Kate as Womenswear Designers of The Year. Part of THE ROW’s mission is to support high-end fashion manufacturing in the US.
