The Row is the American house that made restraint expensive. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen founded it in New York in 2006, naming it after Savile Row, and spent the first three years refusing to give an interview about it. Double-faced cashmere is the signature, most of the ready-to-wear is made in Italy, and nothing carries a logo. The cut runs long and full, so sizing is generally true with room to go down for a closer line.

Editor’s Guide: Living in The Row
The Row is built for uniform dressing. The pieces are meant to be layered and lived in, and they reward a wardrobe that repeats itself. Here is how to get the aesthetic right.
1. One loose, one close
The house cuts generously almost everywhere, so volume on volume erases the silhouette. Pair a wide trouser with a fitted knit, an oversized coat with a narrow column. Break the rule once you know the clothes, not before.
2. Narrow palette, wide texture
The palette is strictly neutral: black, navy, ivory, taupe. The colour does the calming and the texture does the interest, so put a heavy cashmere sweater against a fluid silk skirt, a matte wool against a polished leather.
3. The oversized coat
The Row’s outerwear is built on volume. Balance an oversized trench with a sleek boot and a simple loafer. The volume is the statement, so keep everything else minimal.
Sizing Guide: The Row
The Row cuts to US sizing (0 to 14) and to International sizing (XXS to XL). Luxury Handbags lists the UK equivalent, so a US 4 reads as an 8 UK.
The fit: deliberately oversized and relaxed. Shoulders are often dropped and trousers are cut long and low on the hip.
Recommendation:
Coats and knits: most pieces are true to size. Size down one, occasionally two, only when you want a closer, more tailored line.
Trousers: take your usual size for the intended slouchy fit. Expect to have them hemmed if you are petite, rather than sizing down and losing the rise.
The Row selects cloth before it designs, using double-faced cashmere, sea island cotton and heavyweight silks that cost several times the industry norm. Production runs are small and most ready-to-wear is made in Italy rather than at volume. Nothing on the garment carries a logo, so the price rests entirely on fabric and construction.
Does The Row run big?
Yes, generally. The house favours voluminous, architectural silhouettes, and it cuts long and full by design. Many clients size down in knitwear and outerwear for a closer fit, while trousers are meant to sit low and loose.
Where is The Row made?
Most of The Row’s ready-to-wear is made in Italy with specialist mills and ateliers. Selected knitwear and jersey are made in Japan and the United States.
Who owns The Row?
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen founded The Row in 2006 and remain the majority owners. In 2024 the Wertheimer family, owners of Chanel, and Francoise Bettencourt Meyers took minority stakes in a deal that valued the label at around one billion dollars.
What is double-faced cashmere?
A construction in which two woven faces are joined by hand, so the garment needs no lining and has no wrong side. It uses three to four times the yarn of a single-faced knit and cannot be made quickly, which is why it holds a shoulder line that lighter knits cannot.
