Founded in 2006 by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, THE ROW is a New York-based luxury fashion brand that embodies minimalist design and timeless sophistication. Originally created with the goal of designing the perfect white T-shirt, the brand quickly gained recognition for its impeccable tailoring, refined silhouettes, and focus on high-quality materials.

THE ROW takes its name from London’s Savile Row, a historic street known for bespoke tailoring, reflecting the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and understated elegance. With an emphasis on quiet luxury, THE ROW offers a range of meticulously designed pieces—from oversized coats to perfectly structured handbags—that appeal to those who value subtlety, quality, and longevity over trend-driven fashion.

Today, THE ROW has established itself as one of the most influential minimalist labels in the world, admired by fashion editors, celebrities, and style-conscious individuals alike.

Just a T-shirt — or so it seems. But for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the perfect T-shirt was the starting point of THE ROW. Their vision? A piece that’s refined yet understated, made with uncompromising attention to fabric, fit, and proportion. Every millimeter is considered, resulting in a garment that truly earns the title: the ultimate T-shirt.

Once you hold it in your hands, you’ll understand. The texture will surprise you — it may be cotton, but it feels as smooth and luxurious as silk. The stretch offers comfort without losing shape, the neckline sits just right, and the slightly shorter sleeves are thoughtfully tailored. Every element is balanced to perfection.

It’s the kind of piece that proves its worth the moment you wear it — far beyond its price tag.

THE ROW is renowned as a minimalist luxury brand that places great emphasis on brand anonymity. At first glance, it’s not immediately obvious which brand an item belongs to, reflecting THE ROW’s philosophy to focus on the essence and craftsmanship of the product rather than overt branding.

To maintain this understated elegance, THE ROW’s brand tags and quality labels are temporarily stitched at the corners for easy removal. Even the brand name embossed on handbags is deliberately small and subtly applied to fade over time, emphasizing subtle branding over loud logos.

This thoughtful attention to detail and craftsmanship sets THE ROW apart as an iconic minimalist luxury brand.

One of its most recognizable design features can be found on the original T-shirt—the back seam running down the center, symbolizing the “row” from London’s Savile Row tailoring street, from which the brand takes its name. This signature detail captures the brand’s story and commitment to timeless, refined design.

From THE ROW’s very first piece, the brand has consistently delivered elevated essentials that combine understated luxury with sophisticated simplicity. Each item brings quiet elegance to your look—effortlessly refining any outfit.
