It’s possible that depending on your preferences and willingness to collect the same item in different colors, you might view the Stanley Cup, a visually unappealing and heavy flask, as a status symbol. However, this trend of carrying around a large water bottle as a fashion statement has a limited lifespan in terms of social success.

For those who enjoy the thrill of purchasing “must-have” accessories, Gigi Hadid’s latest acquisition may be of interest. She recently debuted a small bowling bag from Miu Miu’s autumn/winter 2023 collection. She was seen carrying it while dining at Giorgio Baldi, accompanied by rumored boyfriend Bradley Cooper.

These bowling bags have a solid shape with prominent top handles, designed to be flaunted in the crook of the arm, as if you have important places to go and people to see. They are poised to replace the unconventional and asymmetrical bags that have been prominent in fashion week front rows, such as Kiko Kostadinov’s Trivia, Mugler’s Spiral, and Coperni’s Swipe. 

The bowling bags are just as practical as the Stanley Cup, allowing for ample storage space, but they offer a cool and stylish alternative as they are not insulated water bottles.
