The best micro bowling bags to shop now Marks & Spencer

A favourite with fashion editors and influencers alike, mini bowling bags are the latest handbag trend to know about. The playful style is having a huge moment right now – and we're here for it.

The bowling bag trend has been bubbling away for a little while now after The Row's Margaux 17 gained cult status, and many of our favourite high street brand have dropped chic iterations of the style.

While we love oversized bowling bags as much as the next person (Case in point: M&S' latest suede drop has gone straight to the top of our wish list), it's the micro bowlers that we're seeing all over our Instagram feeds this season. While originally designed to hold bowling balls, many of our favourite high street brands have embraced the mini trend for autumn/winter with leather, suede and printed styles that are perfect for a capsule wardrobe update.

A masterful combination of smart-casual, this trend is perfect for party season and beyond. Pair now with Christmas party dresses and come the new year make it your everyday essential paired with denim and an oversized blazer. It might not hold a huge amount, but you can guarantee it will look good while storing all your essentials...
