If you're obsessed with The Row and its elegant, minimalist bags, join the club. It has countless members. But the fact of the matter is, a The Row bag is quite the investment. Therefore, I'm constantly on the hunt for more wallet-friendly bags that capture the luxe The Row vibe, and I just found one of the best options I've seen in a long time: the Madewell Pascal Curved Clutch.

The mid-sized black bag is made of soft, supple leather and has a detachable shoulder strap so you can wear it as a shoulder bag or a clutch. Similar to a The Row bag, the design details are streamlined. It features a softly curved shape and a magnetic closure. And it's the perfect size for all of your essentials. I don't think you'll disagree that despite its $138 price tag, it looks wildly expensive.

At the moment, the bag is only available on Shopbop, but I have a hunch it'll soon be on Madewell's site too, and in additional colors (fingers crossed). Scroll on to shop it before it sells out.
