Our Bucket Bags - The Tried-and-True Classic in an Infinitely Versatile Design

The bucket bag proves: Simply great design knows no time. The curvy handbag with its characteristic drawstring closure is anything but a newcomer to the world of fashion – after all, its shape is directly derived from the pompadour, the small drawstring bag that was all the rage from the late 19th century onwards. However, it's certainly not an outdated classic: After the bucket bag's first release in the 1930s, this blockbuster experienced major and, above all, long-lasting revivals in the late 1960s and the late 1980s – but never has it been as versatile and multifaceted as it is today. With a wide variety of materials and countless trendy designs, the bucket bag currently shines as a must-have that truly enhances any occasion.

In German, "bucket" means bucket or basket. Typical of the bucket bag is its bulbous shape, which tapers upwards from the usually reinforced, oval to round base. Even filled with just a few small items, the bucket bag retains its distinctive contours. Depending on the material and size, this uncomplicated bag boasts both unimagined storage space and astonishing flexibility – especially since its practical closure can be adjusted as needed. Smaller models often have a short handle, while larger bucket bags can be comfortably carried over the shoulder thanks to their longer handles. Many bags also feature a shoulder strap as an additional or sole carrying option.

As clearly defined as the shape of the bucket bag, designers are free to experiment. Whether naturally grained smooth leather or supple suede, faux leather with exclusive embossing or lightweight nylon with a subtle sheen – they draw on a wealth of materials, even when it comes to the materials themselves. Added to this is the stylistic diversity, ranging from minimalist elegance to casual chic to an authentic ethnic look. Young trend labels as well as established traditional houses know that the bucket bag is a must-have these days. So follow their example and add this trend-setting piece to your bag collection.
