Next is really upping its fashion<\/a> game in recent months, and we are not complaining as it means we can shop uber stylish staples that look premium, but for less.<\/p>\n

Case in point is Next\u2019s Bowler Bag<\/a>, which we think is the spitting image of Alaia\u2019s Le Teckel shoulder bag. Not only does Alaia\u2019s bag keep selling out, but it comes with a hefty \u00a31,900 price tag, which we can\u2019t justify splurging on – not that we nee<\/p>\n

Next Bowler Bag<\/h2>\n

Made from a polyester fabric with a PU coating, and a recycled polyester lining, which makes this bag a durable design. The bowler bag features long shoulder straps, which you can wear over the shoulder or hold in your hand. It measures 13cm in height, 30cm in width and 9cm in depth. Available in chocolate brown and stone hue. <\/p>\n

The Next Bowler Bag<\/a> boasts the same rectangular shape and two long straps as Alaia\u2019s popular design. <\/p>\n

However, eagle eyed shoppers will notice the Next Bowler Bag is slightly taller, but not as wide. To get technical Next\u2019s bag measures 13cm in height, 30cm in width and 9cm in depth, while the Alaia original is 10cm in height and depth and 33cm in width, though we think the Next version appears to look deeper. <\/p>\n

The bowler bag has been hugely popular over the last few months as it offers more space inside for all your essentials – and then some. Plus, the longer shoulder straps means you can slip it securely over your arm without it getting bunched up with your layers, especially in Winter. <\/p>\n

The Next design has been crafted from polyester and boasts a PU coating, which looks similar to the real leather design of Alaia\u2019s creation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ALAIA Le Teckel Branded-Tag Leather Shoulder Bag<\/h2>\n

Crafted from 100% leather, this rectangular bag boasts a bowler bag shape. It features two long shoulder straps, and a zip fastening. Inside you will find one main compartment, as well as a card section. It measures 10cm in height, 33cm in width and 10cm in depth, while the handle drop is 26cm. <\/p>\n

Both bags feature the two straps, which can be styled over the shoulder, held in your hands, or even as a clutch bag with the straps folded over the bag. The pair also feature a zip fastening to ensure your valuables are safe from wondering hands. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s unknown if the Next design has pockets inside the main compartment, but Alaia\u2019s bag features a subtle card slip. <\/p>\n

Next\u2019s Bowler Bag is available in two colours including chocolate brown and ‘bone’, which is a cream tone. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not forget the Next bag<\/a> retails for \u00a332, so you could buy both colourways for much less than the cost of Alaia\u2019s bag, and still have change. <\/p>\n
