Over the last couple of years, a classic bowling bag has been increasingly popular, and 2026 is the year they’re set to be everywhere. From designer versions on runways to some of our favourite high street brands stocking them, we’re predicting that the bowling bag is going to be everywhere.

One of our favourite designer versions is the Prada Bowling Medium Suede Bag which retails for £3250, but if you want something more affordable that gives you the same look, the high street is delivering. Monsoon’s Cate Suede Bowler Bag is one of our favourites, and at £99 it’s more than £3.1k cheaper than Prada’s whilst still looking just as elegant.

Despite its affordable price tag, it’s made from 100% real suede which not only looks luxurious, but means it’ll be long lasting and hardwearing, so should last a lifetime. The Cate Suede Bowler Bag comes in a cappuccino shade, and brown suede is still one of the top trending styles for 2026 after having a huge moment in 2025.

Perfect for bringing a little bit of luxury to your outfit, the bag has rounded edges for a softer, more feminine look, with straps long enough to wear over your shoulder or in the crook of your arm. It even comes with a knotted bag charm which is another great trend to pick up on for 2026.

The Cate Suede Bowler Bag has a structured rectangular shape that fastens with a zip fastening, and is deceptively roomy making it a sized bag that you could take either to work or out to dinner. There’s even an internal zip pocket that’ll keep your essentials safe and to hand whenever you need them.

We also found a similar style at one of the cult favourite handbag brands among fashion editors, DeMellier, with The Stockholm bag priced at £525 and coming in four different colours. This is the perfect price point between designed and high street if you want to invest a little more into your handbag purchase.

Another of our favourites is Nobody’s Child’s Brown Suede Shoulder Bag which is now on sale down from £189 to just £76. This is also made from 100% real suede, so if you want to grab a bargain that’s still high end and great quality, this is the bag for you.
