Bucket Bags: Because You’ve Got Fashion Sandcastles To Make
In the past couple of years, every designer and their dog has been diving back into the bucket bag trend. (And every It girl and supermodel has been toting one.) From Alexander Wang, with his gothy, SS17 chain’d form, to Mansur Gavriel’s cult minimalistic iteration, the bucket bag’s supernova-ish return has been one of the fastest returns in retro bag styles.
After all, let’s not forget the bucket bag was made particularly popular in the Fifties and Sixties thanks to Louis Vuitton’s classic monogram version. And of course, Chanel’s iconic leather-wrapped chain creation only helped the bucket bag’s cause.
Now, designers from Paco Rabanne to Proenza Schouler have released some open-topped carriers for us to froth over. Run your peepers over these beauties. We challenge you to not get every one.
