The viral Uniqlo, round mini shoulder bag first burst onto the scene back in the spring of 2022, and it has become a wardrobe staple. A lightweight, easy to carry and spacious crossbody, few high street handbags have had the staying power of this design, but its got a new rival in town, and this one comes complete with a trending polka dot print, that has fans rating it 5*.
The blue/brown polka dot sling bag from Next caught our attention immediately, not least because polka dots are once again one of the biggest spring/summer fashion trends for 2026, but also for its uncanny resemblance to the round mini shoulder bag by Uniqlo.
