Matalan’s new bow tableware looks so much like Anthropologie’s bestselling designs – it’s the perfect budget alternative

Matalan's black and white bow and stripe- adorned tableware laid out on a dining table.

Around this time last year, Anthropologie released some of the prettiest tableware that I’ve ever laid eyes on with dinner plates, mugs, bowls, placemats, napkins and more adorned with beautiful bows. That range is still available today and is among the brand’s bestsellers. But if Anthropologie’s prices are not within your budget, Matalan just dropped the perfect affordable bow tableware alternatives.

Bows have been a major home decor trend and a Christmas decor trend for the last couple of years – and it’s showing no signs of slowing as more and more bow-covered and bow-shaped things become available. I’m talking cushions, candleholders, bed linen, lamps, tableware (of course) – you name it!
