Bucket Bags

Typical features of bucket bags

You don't have to know anything about bags to recognize a bucket bag at first sight, so special is its shape and design. A typical bucket bag with a round or oval bottom is slightly wider towards the top and closes with a drawstring fastener. This design is also responsible for flexibility: If necessary, the drawstring can be made narrower or wider, depending on how full you want to pack your bag. It can be integrated inside the bag so that both ends lead out through the specially punched openings and are fixed there with a stopper. Models with outer drawstrings are more common. The drawstring is either put through the metal eyelets or through the cut-outs and regulated with an extra adjuster. Bucket handbags with eyelets can look a little more striking than versions with discreet openings or cuts. The drawstring of the bucket bag can be closed or equipped with two tassels or with knotted ends. It can be placed on the edge of the bag or in the middle of its body. The edge is gathered according to this, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. The drawstring can also be in two parts so that one section is tied on each side of the bucket bag. Bucket handbags are often secured with an additional magnetic fastener. Some leather models are equipped with a classic buckle.

Bucket bags are available in landscape and portrait format, as well as in square form. The variety of sizes also leaves nothing to be desired. The mini bucket bag is suitable for going out and measures approximately 20 cm in width and as much or a little more in height. The standard models of the bucket bags are approximately 25 cm x 30 cm. Spacious variants measure 30 cm x 35 cm and sometimes even more. The bottom of a bucket bag can be both soft and firm. Models with floor reinforcement keep their shape better and do not sink down when parked. Metal feet protect your favourite bag from dirt and provide extra stability. The bottom of a leather bucket bag can optionally be fitted with patches. More and more bucket handbags have a square bottom. Its practical advantages include better strength. An adjustable shoulder strap is also one of the typical features of crossbody bucket bags. This enables the bag to be carried in different ways: on the shoulder, diagonally across the chest and on the back. Bucket handbags with a handle can also be carried in your hand or in the crook of your arm.

Bucket bags: stylish companions for every occasion

Despite the typical features of a bucket bag, the fashionable variants impress with a wide range of designs. A leather bucket bag is often decorated with perforations, rivets and applications. Decorative zips and pendants, as well as stylish fringes, often adorn bucket bags made of imitation leather. Quilting, for example in the popular chevron motif, is also a popular style element for a leather or imitation leather bag. In addition to leather and imitation leather, the materials used in the production include cotton, canvas, polyester and nylon. The typical shape is particularly well expressed in the fabric models: they impress with a casual, sporty attitude. However, the drawstring of some leather bags is made of textiles such as nylon, as they are particularly hard-wearing and tear-resistant and also provide beautiful visual accents. Recently, raffia is also the material of choice when it comes to bucket bags with a summery flair. Bucket handbags made from this fabric are a perfect match for maritime outfits. Bucket bags also impress with a wide range of colours: subtle nude nuances, contrasting stripes and gaudy shades are among the possibilities. Trendy animal prints and logo all-over designs are also very common. Plain bucket bags are often decorated with a discreet logo patch on the front side in contrast. If you're looking for a universal everyday bag, you should go for muted colours like grey, beige and brown. If the bucket bag is black, it can easily be combined with any everyday look. Anything but classic, on the other hand, are bucket bags covered with a macramé net. The upper bag is usually equipped with two plastic handles, while the inner bag, which looks like a small bucket, is usually made of sturdy leather. These models are among the hottest bucket bags. Variants with ring handle made of plastic, metal and wood are also among the most popular styles.

From mini to XXL: different formats of bucket bags

Generally, bucket bags are very roomy at a relatively compact total size. Depending on the equipment, larger versions even come with extras such as a pen holder, keyholder or a removable cosmetic bag. The majority of the medium-sized models are equipped with a separate inner pocket that occupies almost the entire interior. You can use it as an inside pocket or as a separate bag. A variation of these models are bucket bags with an inner lockable bag and an open outer bag. The inner bag can be integrated or removable. A mini bucket bag is ideal for evening events, but it can hold only essentials. Mini bags look fresh and unconventional, but very elegant and tasteful. Whether with a hand strap or with a chain strap, the mini version of the coveted bucket bag is a nice addition to any bag collection. Particularly elegant pieces are made of velvet or shine in a chic metal look. Small-sized cylinder-shaped crossbody bucket bags with a circumferential zip also become real highlights of your collection.
