Bucket Bags: This Winter's Must-Have

We’re all searching for that perfect winter bag. The handbag that’s big enough to carry all our seasonal baggage, but still looks chic and stylish. Well look no further, because the bucket bag, as spotted by the London Evening Standard fashion spies, is the latest “It” bag that everyone wants a piece of. Hollywood A-listers such as Vanessa Hudgens and Katy Perry have been snapped with the funky bucket bag and it’s easy to see why it has become such a favourite. The Alexander Wang Diego bag, which comes in a variety of colours, is just what women need.

Though often considered a summer bag, popular amongst festival goers, the bucket bag is a year-round wonder that suits any occasion. Ideal for office wear, bucket bags are a bottomless pit to chuck your hat, umbrella, sunglasses, notebooks… Everything you need and more for a day at work, all glamourously concealed under a drawstring.

In the same way, the bucket bag is ideal for weekends shopping or even for evening wear as a casual shoulder-bag look. Whilst many designs fall under the ‘bucket bag’ umbrella, few do it better than the Alexander Wang ‘Diego’, which ticks all the boxes from practicality to trendiness.

Available in a range of bright colours through to neutral blacks and greys, the leather Diego is a true bucket bag shape, with a flat, studded base and drawstring opening. We love the ‘Acid’ Alexander Wang Diego bag and the Orange Alexander Wang Diego bag, but trust us, you’ll be sure to find the colour to suit you.

At £711 it might not be for everyone, but with the multitude of high street replicas, there’s bound to be one out there for you. Despite, our new found love for the Diego bag, the Alexander Wang Rocco handbag is still a firm favourite of ours, so don’t forget to check out how you can rock the Wang style without the Wang price tag with our ‘Get the Look’ post.

Everywhere from Jane Norman to House of Fraser have a host of bucket bags to you to chose from, so don’t be caught out this winter, and carry everything in style with this season’s new ‘it’ bag.
