The ’90s-inspired bowler bag is finding its way back into the fashion conversation, and it’s easy to see why the silhouette has remained a favorite. With its elongated shape, structured body, and roomy interior, it brings a vintage touch to everyday outfits while offering plenty of space for daily essentials.
For those looking to add one to their collection, Manila-based label Lullaby Run has its own take on the style with The Archive Bowler (Belted Ver.) in Burgundy Wine. The local brand draws inspiration from fashion across Asia, combining familiar silhouettes with its own design details. This particular release gives the classic bowler shape a fresh look through its rich burgundy colorway and added belt detail.

At first glance, the Burgundy Wine colorway is already a standout. Its deep red tone adds a bit of color to an everyday outfit while remaining easy to pair with neutrals, denim, and darker wardrobe staples. The bag also features a textured genuine leather exterior with a subtle sheen, giving it a finish that feels at home with both casual and more dressed-up looks.
The belted detail is what sets this version apart from the original Archive Bowler. It comes with a full adjustable belt and buckle, which can also slip over a luggage handle when you’re travelling. There’s also a small D-ring where you can attach accessories or charms, giving you room to add a personal touch.

Beyond its appearance, The Archive Bowler is designed with enough room for the things you might need throughout the day. Measuring 40 x 10 x 25 cm, its rectangular body can accommodate a 14-inch laptop, tablet, A4-sized paper, and a 32-ounce Owala bottle, based on the brand’s size guide.
The bag has a double-zipper closure with open-hole pull tabs, a strap with a button clasp, and two inner open pockets, one of which features an embossed logo. Its cotton lining adds another detail to the interior, while the adjustable shoulder strap allows you to carry it over your shoulder or by hand.
