Your Ultimate Bucket Bag Shopping Guide For Scoring Spring's It Bag On Any Budget
Although bucket bags have been going strong for a while now, the ultra versatile, practical silhouette is without a doubt everyone's go-to this spring. From Saint Laurent and Proenza Schouler to the fast fashion market and smaller boutique labels, bucket bags are seriously everywhere. And we're not complaining. Whether you're dipping into trends like fringe, pastels, and perforated patterns, or classic lines and luxe materials are your thing, the options are bountiful — no matter your budget.
If bucket bags are on your spring radar, you've probably heard (and cried) about the Mansur Gavriel restock that lasted approximately 30 seconds. Unless you're down to sit on a wait list, scour Ebay, or pine until the next drop in a few months, that ship has sailed. But don't worry — I've compiled the ultimate list of bucket bags that are in stock (if you move fast), and from investment splurges to options that go for roughly the price of a few lattes, you're bound to find your springtime soulmate.
