Summer is almost over, and it’s time to pack up all my cute straw bags and totes for something a little bit more substantial. Something that says more ‘back to school’ than ‘beach in St. Tropez’. A tote that can withstand the weight of Anna Wintour’s (allegedly) last September Issue with Beyonce on the cover. The bucket bag fits the bill. The trendy new bag could be found on Instagram and all over the runway. Ranging in sizes from mini to tote-like, there’s a bucket bag for everyone. The structural silhouette works in almost any color and fabric, goes from lady-like to rocker chic, can transition from day to night. So what’re you waiting for? New purse glory awaits.
Nico Giani Nelia Mini Bucket Bag, $395
This sculptural mini can be worn crossbody thanks to the shoulder strap, or carry it by the handles for a more ladylike look.
Alexander Wang Attica Leather Bucket Bag, $495
A little bit of hardware for the woman who’s still a little bit rock n’ roll.
This is the bag you’ve been seeing all over Instagram all summer, now in a gorgeous all black. There’s a version in saddle we can’t stop thinking about either.
The mini, metal handled It Bag gets a supersized update with confetti handles.
Trademark Garden Bag in Chocolate Croc Leather, $378
A luxe, delicious bag that outranks any dessert.
Danse Lente Shearling Mini Lorna, $520
It might be a little early for shearling, but with a bag this cute can you blame us?
Chloe Roy Snake-Effect Leather, $1850
If you’re looking for your splurge of the season, look no farther than this mini bucket in a timeless snake.
