Aritzia’s Throwback Bag Is Bringing Peak Y2K Nostalgia For Its 40th Anniversary

February 11, 2025

Some trends never truly go out of style—especially when they’re as iconic as Aritzia’s Bowling Bag. Originally launched in the early 2000s, this cult-favorite accessory became a staple of the Y2K era, spotted on cool girls across Canada. Now, in celebration of Aritzia’s 40th anniversary, the brand is bringing it back with a modern twist—meet the Throwback Bag.

A Y2K Icon, Reimagined

For those who lived through the original Bowling Bag craze, this relaunch is a fashion time capsule in the best way possible. The Throwback Bag stays true to its beloved shape and structure, but gets a celebratory upgrade in limited-edition metallic finishes, perfect for 2025’s obsession with all things retro-futuristic and high-shine glam. Whether styled with low-rise cargos and a baby tee or a sleek monochrome power suit, this bag is the ultimate statement piece with built-in nostalgia.

Limited-Edition & Ready to Shop

The Throwback Bag drops online at Aritzia.com on February 11—but with its collector’s-item status, it won’t be around for long. If Aritzia’s past limited-edition releases are any indication, this reimagined classic is bound to sell out fast. Priced at $128, it’s an effortless way to add a little shimmer, a little nostalgia, and a whole lot of cool to your wardrobe.

Whether you were an early 2000s Aritzia girl (guilty as charged!) or are discovering the magic of the brand for the first time, the Throwback Bag is your chance to own a piece of fashion history—reimagined for today. —Noa Nichol
