The Row Archive Models: Sofia, Devon, Camden and Bindle

Comb any secondary-market platform for the label and you will meet model names that show up nowhere on the label’s current site. Sofia, Devon, Camden and the original Bindle are four examples, and together they account for much of what changes hands second-hand. None are listed by the brand now; buyers reach them through resale platforms and, from time to time, remainder stock sitting at a retailer. The pricing implication is direct: if a model is not sold at retail now, it has no current retail price, and anything quoted as one is a reconstruction. This article lays out what is documented about each: construction, materials, documented dimensions and resale figures drawn from observation instead of inference. Anyone scanning listings for the row for sale will see these names long before they see anything still in production.

Archive: What the Term Signals Here

The brand does not publish a discontinuation list, hold sales under that heading, or announce when a model leaves. A style stops appearing on the site, then at stockists, and eventually exists only on the secondary market. The word archive describes where you can buy a bag, not any status the brand has granted. Some left the row banana bag production recently enough that near-new examples still appear with tags attached. Others have been gone long enough that condition, not model, drives the asking price. The Outnet stocks archive and off-price stock, and it is about as close to a first-hand route as you get once a style has dropped out of the main channels, and these four are still the archive row handbags that people look up by name most often.

Sofia

The Sofia is a structured calfskin flap bag closed by a metal lock, with a two-compartment interior behind the flap. The bag was made in several sizes, and following the rest of the line the number is the width in inches, so Sofia 8.75 and Sofia 10 explain themselves. An E/W Sofia stretched the same body wider, and the model was made as both a top-handle and a shoulder bag. It is built more rigidly than most of the current range, so it reads as its own chapter rather than an early draft of the current line. Resale has been observed at roughly $2,200 to $5,668, broad enough that size, material and condition, not the name, set the number. There is no current retail price to compare against, because it is no longer listed as new stock.

Devon

The Devon is a compact, structured top-handle worked in polished saddle leather, with a top zip closure and a hidden shoulder strap. Decorative stitching travels across the body, unusually expressive for a brand that almost never decorates anything. Alongside the standard size there is a Mini Devon, and the two get muddled in listings all the time. A figure of around $4,650 circulates for a Devon Medium, but that price is not publicly established and should never be presented as retail. The defensible position is blunt: no verifiable source records its retail price. Buyers are left working from asking prices that move by platform and seller, with no fixed anchor.

Camden

Camden is a twin-handled bag in grained or saddle leather, with a detachable strap in addition to the handles and a magnetic closure. Patch and zip pockets fill the interior, which is more practical than today’s totes bother with. Documented dimensions are approximately 9 x 12.5 x 5.25 inches, meaning a wide and shallow footprint instead of a bucket profile. The bag is resale only: it is absent from the brand’s current site, and no retailer stocks it new. The spelling is Camden, and getting it right matters, since a misspelling returns nothing useful. Since no verified retail figure exists, observed asking prices are all you have to go on.

Bindle, Archive and Current at Once

The original Bindle combines suede, raw-cut trims, a knotted detail and an open top, and its original retail was reported at around $1,190. Then came Bindle Three, with one padded handle and a removable zipped pouch inside, observed at around $1,700 on resale. A Bindle Knot Hobo rounds out the family. Buyers get tangled up because the name itself never left the collection: Bindle Stitch was observed at $3,500 and Small Bindle Stitch at $2,900 among current shoulder bags. So the family is part archive, part current, and a single search pulls up both. Read the whole model name instead of the first word; nothing else separates them dependably.

Other Models You Will Only Meet Second-Hand

More models crop up routinely in listings while having no current retail presence. The Ascot is a hobo, and a Small Ascot in satin or silk has been listed by a major retailer, but its retail price is not publicly established. The Wander is a knot crossbody produced in silk or satin as well as leather; its retail price is likewise undocumented, while observed resale runs roughly $840 to $1,795. The Sling appears as a Sling 15 nylon hobo and an N/S Sling, with no verified retail figure for either. A Small Everyday Shoulder in grain leather has been observed at $2,650 at a stockist, which makes it findable new rather than resale only. Read every number here as an observation of a listing rather than a price the brand set.

• Ascot – hobo; Small Ascot in satin or silk listed by a major retailer; retail price not established
• Wander – knot-detail crossbody in silk, satin or leather; observed resale of $840 to $1,795
• Sling – Sling 15 nylon hobo and N/S Sling; retail price not established
• Small Everyday Shoulder – grain leather, observed $2,650 at a stockist

The Margaux, and What Is Actually Known

The Margaux enters every archive discussion sooner or later, so the wording has to be exact. What is verified is that the bag was pulled from third-party retailers during 2025, and that Soft Margaux and Margaux Shoulder, not the original, are what the brand’s own site now carries. The unverified part is the claim that it has been discontinued: the reports are everywhere, but no official confirmation has ever come from the brand. They are not interchangeable statements, and the distinction counts when you are deciding whether to pay a secondary-market premium. Soft Margaux 10 has been observed at $3,650, Soft Margaux 12 at $4,350, both Made in Italy, and Margaux Shoulder 12 at $4,900. Until the brand speaks, the original’s status stays open rather than settled, and anyone claiming certainty has gone past the evidence.

What Is Established and What Is Not

Construction and pricing are separated in the table below, because they do not stand on equally firm ground. Any resale range shown reflects observed asking and sale prices, not a figure the brand published. A note that retail is not established describes what can be checked; it does not imply a concealed number. Resale ranges swing according to condition, colour, material and platform. Read construction as the durable information and price as a snapshot of one moment in 2026. Neither column is investment advice, and none of these figures should be treated as a forecast.

Buying an Archive Piece Without Being Caught Out

There is no serial number, date code or authenticity card system for these bags, so no code exists to check. Authentication is physical: machine-precise stitching of even density, hand-painted edges with no overflow or bubbling, and hide that feels substantial and soft at once while absorbing light. Expect a crisp, centred interior stamp reading the logo and Made in Italy, with the small exterior stamp low on the side and barely noticeable. Hardware should be matte or brushed, solid in the hand, closing precisely and with smooth edges. Fakes reported through 2024 and 2025 clear photo inspection without trouble, so in-hand checks and platform authentication are what the advice comes down to. You will find these models at Rebag, The RealReal, Fashionphile, Vestiaire Collective, 1stDibs, Madison Avenue Couture and Future Reference; Poshmark, eBay and Mercari carry a higher flagged counterfeit risk.

1. Pin down the full model name rather than the family name alone
2. Request photographs of both stamps, the base feet and the interior corners
3. Inspect stitching density and hand-painted edges at magnification
4. Compare the ask against the observed ranges above, not a rumoured retail figure
5. Choose a platform that authenticates in hand over one that does not
