It’s not rare to spot a mundane item getting jeujed up by fashion’s most creative minds. From Loewe’s pigeon clutch to Chanel’s basketball crossbody, plenty of humdrum items live to tell the tale of how the fashion set got their hands on them and turned them into iconic handbags.
This season’s victim? The bowling bag.
Traditionally made in a hooded silhouette to secure bowling bags, the spacious bag is now celebrities, editors, and influencer’s go-to handbag style this season. Coming in various iterations, the bowling bag has come a long way since its humble beginnings.
With luxury brands like Chanel, Dior, and The Row tapping into the style with suede, monogram, and colourful options- this handbag silhouette is so good that even high-fashion approves.
Of course, if you’re also looking for an investment piece that won’t break the bank, Marks and Spencer, Mango, and COS have also released their versions that are definitely wish-list worthy.
With styles coming in different sizes, colours, and textures, bowling bags are a great, effortless styling piece. Simply dress them up with a satin skirt, knee-high boots, and a coat for the office, or pair them with your favourite pair of denim, cashmere knit, and flats for an everyday sleek look.
Below, we have rounded up our top must-see picks. Whether you’re browsing for your next investment piece or finalising your Christmas wish list– we got you.
