This new high-street bag will have everyone pestering you about its origin (to the extent that it becomes bothersome).
Given the unpredictable nature of the weather in the UK, I will never complain about the few summer days that are genuinely warm. However, as this season approaches, I can't help but think about the outfits I'll be sporting in the next season. This means that even though we are currently enjoying linen weather, I'm more inclined to start shopping for the pieces I'll be wearing once temperatures start to fall. One item I've been considering for the upcoming autumn is a new suede handbag suitable for both office and casual use. Specifically looking for a style that is both chic and timeless, as well as genuine suede without spending a fortune, I knew that COS would be my first choice. After last year's bowling bag sold out quickly (which I personally purchased), I was eager to see what COS would present for 2025, and I was not disappointed. Introducing the Marais bowling bag (£139).
Following the effortless, elegant appeal of last year's design, the Marais bowling bag boasts a more structured shape that’s perfect for both office days and relaxed outings this autumn. Made from 100% chrome-free suede and lined with cotton, the bag seamlessly combines contemporary style with subtle ‘90s minimalist hints. Its boxy form, paired with the trendy east-west silhouette that has been popular in 2025, makes this sophisticated bag a guaranteed way to receive compliments this season.
I’m particularly interested in the black version to coordinate with the neutrals already in my capsule wardrobe, but the cappuccino color is equally stylish and will match beautifully with the deep burgundy and chocolate brown shades expected to trend this autumn/winter. The best part? Priced at £139, this bag is significantly more affordable than other real suede totes available, without sacrificing quality or elegance.
