If you’ve been tempted by the bowling bag trend that’s dominating the autumn fashion trends, but don’t fancy spending hundreds on designer buy, Katie Loxton’s latest launch could get you the look for less.
The brand’s new Madison collection takes inspiration from the east-west shape, with long handles and a slightly slouchy silhouette that feels perfect for autumn. There are two sizes to choose from, with the smaller shoulder bag costing £49.99 and the larger version £69.99. Both come in bitter chocolate suedette or distressed black, so you can go for something a little more autumnal or stick to a classic everyday tone.
The shape is reminiscent of styles such as the Coach empire, but the Madison is a much more accessible way to tap into the designer look. Add in gold-tone hardware, a zip-top closure and an inside pocket, and these bags are as practical as they are stylish.

Katie Loxton Madison large shoulder bag
The larger madison bag has the shape and space to make it a useful everyday option, while still remaining stylish for the new season. It comes in two colours: distressed black, made from vegan leather with a worn-in finish, and bitter chocolate, a water- and scratch-resistant suedette.
Both have the same elongated east-west shape, softly rounded edges and long rope handles, alongside gold-tone hardware and a tassel zip pull. And at 54.5cm x 43cm x 15cm, it’s roomy enough for everyday essentials, with space for a laptop, water bottle, and even a change of gym clothes.
There’s also a top zip closure and an inside zipped pocket for keeping smaller essentials organised. It’s priced at £69.99, so it’s an accessible way to add the oversized shoulder bag trend to your wardrobe, without going all-out on a designer style.

For a smaller bag for evenings out or dressing up an outfit, the smaller Madison shoulder bag offers the same east-west shape as the larger version, just in a more compact design. Like its bigger sibling, it comes in distressed black or bitter chocolate . Both have softly rounded edges, rope-style handles, gold hardware and an emblem tassel zip pull.
The smaller version also has a top zip closure and inside zipped pocket to keep your belongings secure. It costs £49.99, so if you love the Coach empire look (but not the price tag), it’s a much more affordable way to get that classic, bowling bag-inspired style. Plus, it’s a more compact option for dinner dates, drinks or occasions when you don’t need to carry lots around with you.
