Cool bucket bags you should be carrying right now
Tory Burch T Monogram Leather Bucket Bag, $830
image

Trends come and go, but it seems that classic silhouettes like the bucket bag are here to stay. This season, Tory Burch released their own rendition of the bucket bag and it’s quickly gaining traction for good reason. Available in different finishes, ranging from leather to woven jacquard, this particular piece is meticulously crafted in calf leather, reflecting the artisanal allure and timelessness of the bucket bag itself. With its detachable shoulder strap, you can carry it as a crossbody or hold it by its top handle — making it the perfect go-to accessory for everyday wear. It’s also lined with microsuede and comes with small interior pockets for you to organise your essentials.

Fendi logo-printed fringed leather shoulder bag, US$2,503 (S$3,383.81) from Net-a-Porter
image

Show your support for the Fendi brand by carrying a piece that sports its logo all over its exterior. The print is created in collaboration with Instagram artist @hey_reilly. Our favourite bit is the swishy beaded fringing that gives it a cool movement. Go all out with the logomania and finish with the Fendi tracksuit and chunky dad sneakers for a cool, street wear vibe. Bucket hat required. Or sling it over your blazer and dress combo at work for a quirky contrast.

If straw bags are too casual for work and leather bags seem too much for the beach, then this straw-leather hybrid is the perfect in-between. Featuring Furla’s newest Shield logo, the adjustable and detachable strap also allows you to carry this bucket number as a crossbody. Celebrate summer and pair this with a white linen dress for the beach (don’t forget your favourite sunnies). For work, the bag will add elegance to a tailored pantsuit.

Furla boutiques are located in places such as Paragon, ION Orchard and Raffles City.

Mansur Gavriel calf bucket bag, S$1,100
image

Mansur Gavriel’s bucket bags have been a cult favourite amongst fashion lovers and bag collectors alike, due to their simple and clean silhouette. We picked this forest green number because it remains neutral enough to pair with a variety of your outfits, but isn’t boring like the staple black or tan colour. Carry this with a lace midi dress and block heels at work.

This gorgeous bag sends tingles down our back. The sleek blue suede is contrasted against maroon leather trims to make this Gucci iteration a contemporary piece. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the Italian house has adorned it with a crystal-crusted enamel tiger head. So deliciously luxe. Pair this with a dark pleated midi dress and white sneakers for a sporty (yet stylish) ensemble.

Gucci boutiques are located in Paragon, ION Orchard and Marina Bay Sands.

Clean lines and modern designs are emblematic of Mulberry. But what makes this bag even more special is the use of textured leather and gold hardware that add a dose of sophistication to the piece. The grained leather can also withstand scratches and stains better than smooth leather. Go geek chic and throw on a shirt dress with this bag. Finish off by slipping into a pair of brogues.
