River Island has left us impressed with its chic, designer-inspired handbag that comes with an affordable price tag. The Bowler Mini Cross Body Bag, £28, has a timeless silhouette that reminds our fashion team of Louis Vuitton’s ‘Speedy’ handbag, which costs over £1,000.
The high-street arm candy is incredibly petite but thanks to the boxy design, it provides ample room for essentials: phone, keys, purse and small makeup items. Featuring a River Island monogram and tan faux-leather trim, the bag is available in four luxe-looking styles.
The versions include Brown Cherry that is adorned with a cute fruit motif and charm, a Brown Monogram option which resembles Louis Vuitton’s traditional pattern. There’s also a Blue Denim colourway, designed with a pearl chain and cherry charm, and a Black Embossed version that has a patent-like finish.

Alternatively, Charles & Keith’s Enola Canvas Two-Tone Bowling Bag, £69, offers a two-tone option with chocolate-brown faux leather and beige canvas. The top handles are adjustable to fit to the wearer’s preference and there’s also a detachable keychain.
For a sporty option, Adidas Originals offers a mono mini bowling bag in brown, £38, and it features the classic Trefoil design.
Whether it’s off to brunch, commuting or heading out for drinks, this versatile little gem from River Island adds just the right amount of finesse to any ensemble. It’s a brilliant pick for everyday fashion and is set to become a go-to for summer.

It’s worth noting that the top handles are not long enough to make this a shoulder bag, but the removable crossbody strap means shoppers can still carry it hands-free.
If you ask us, the bag brings a subtle dash of sophistication and fun to any outfit. It’s available here for £28.
