This Affordable, Quiet Luxury Bag Is So The Row-Coded—And Every Chic Woman Already Owns It
From its sculptural silhouette to its understated finish, COS’s latest bowling bag is quietly becoming the next cult favourite among fashion people.
Aside from beautifully cut summer dresses, sharp tailoring and jeans that reliably reach cult status (hello, Reprise Jeans) COS has also quietly become one of the best places on the high street for designer-looking handbags. Case in point: its latest bowling bag, the Montmartre.

You may remember a few years ago when COS’s original bowling bag was everywhere; every chic woman seemed to buy it, and mass hysteria quickly ensued. This new iteration feels just as compelling. A smaller, more compact version, it carries that same quiet luxury appeal, but with a slightly more refined, The Row-coded finish.
Aptly named after one of Paris’s most effortlessly chic neighbourhoods, the Montmartre is crafted from premium Italian leather with a subtle grain that gives it that perfectly worn-in feel from the outset. The softly sculptural top-handle shape strikes that difficult balance between contemporary and timeless, while details like the gently pinched sides and double-ended zip add just enough interest.
