Two of autumn’s top fashion trends are chocolate brown and suede, and this bowling bag nails them both for under £60, making it a must-have for the season
It’s no secret that chocolate brown and suede are both the top trends to wear for autumn, so when we spotted this perfectly-sized handbag that ticks both boxes for under £60, we knew it was going to be a must-have. Hailing from high street fave Fat Face, the Chocolate Brown Suede Bowling Bag is a guaranteed winner for autumn, and you can pick it up for £59.50.
It’s the perfect does-it-all bag that you could take everywhere from work to an evening out, and we’re already calling it as this season’s must-buy accessory. It comes in an expensive-looking chocolate brown shade, and is made from 100% real leather suede.

There’s also lots of storage inside and secure zipped pockets so you can fit plenty of your essentials in, and the two long grab top straps fit over your shoulder so it’s easy to carry. The straps are made from leather which means they’ll be sturdy and hardwearing, with subtle strap details wrapping around the bag and a tassel bag charm that comes in the same chocolate brown suede.
It’s just a nice size for carrying around all your essentials without being too big and bulky, measuring 16cm high and 30cm wide. Both ends of the Chocolate Brown Suede Bowling Bag have a zipped pocket that’s the perfect size for fitting things like keys or your wallet inside to keep them close at hand.
The Chocolate Brown Suede Bowling Bag has a rounded rectangular shape that’s soft and slouchy whilst still holding its shape, making it easy and comfortable to tote around with you whilst running errands. If you do want something a little bigger, Nobody’s Child’s Brown Suede Shoulder Bag is £189 and has a taller and broader shape that would maybe fit a laptop inside, making it a great office bag.
Marks & Spencer also has a more minimalist version, with the Autograph Suede Bowler Bag priced at £80 and made from a premium soft-touch suede. If you’d rather steer clear of real suede, or just want to get the look without breaking the bank, the Gina Tricot Faux Suede Bowling Shoulder Bag is £40 at ASOS.
The Chocolate Brown Suede Bowling Bag is still so new on the Fat Face website that it hasn’t racked up any reviews yet, but it’s a great combination of quality without being too pricey. It’s also so easy to incorporate some brown suede into your wardrobe, as it pairs with almost every colour and outfit style.
You can style it with everything from a smart blazer and wide leg trousers to a more casual jeans and a T-shirt outfit, or carry it with a flowing midi dress for the evening. Chocolate brown also pairs with so many colours, from navy and green to pink, red and yellow, so you can fit it effortlessly into your wardrobe.
