The Bucket Bag is Spring 2014’s Biggest Accessories Trend

For those of you who wanted one, it’s probably time to come to terms with the fact that you’re not going to get a Mansur Gavriel Bucket Bag for spring. (Add it to your wishlist at Net-a-Porter, though – a friend who did so fairly recently saw it show up in her shopping bag last week.) That’s a bummer, but the good news is that Mansur Gavriel was on the front end of a trend that has since become huge – bucket bags are spring’s biggest handbag shape trend, and the brands entering into the fray include everyone from Opening Ceremony to Hermes.

Traditionalists will be glad to see that Louis Vuitton has introduced lots of new versions of the original bucket bag, the Noe, including Epi leather in perfect summer shades. On the less expensive end of the spectrum, lots of contemporary brands have pounced on the casual, unstructured style in a way that will surely appeal to younger customers. For the best of the best, check out what’s going on below.

I have been wearing my Lancel ELSA Bucket bag since 2006. Still looks great and now it back on trend. LOL.

Becky Gonzalez

Hi Circafashion do you remember how much it was back then? I have a black and a red one but i cant think for the life of me what I paid for them lol x

circafashion

Okay i went through my old emails,i actually purchased the bag in 2007 i paid $245 because they were doing a 30% off promo. The bag was $350. I purchased it over the phone from the Lancel Beverly Hills store, that is no longer open. Bummer

Becky Gonzalez

Ahh thank you. I only asked as i have one in black with a matching purse/wallet and i couldn’t remember how old it was or what it cost me as it’s quite a few years old now and my memory is terrible. I want to sell mine but didn’t know what to ask for it. Thank you x

The bucket bag is a shape that I have loved since college (many years ago.) I continue to carry it because it is beautiful and incredibly practical. I recently purchased the Vuitton bag pictured here, but I still have the Coach bucket bag that I was given as a high school graduation present. It’s old, to be sure, but it still looks beautiful.

I think the bucket bag is very similar in esthetic with the back pack. Cool for the young edgy crowd but there is nothing sophisticated about it. At a certain age you just look silly…like Madonna and her gloves.

I think the Gucci is my favorite. Love that color.

the saint laurent looks terrible… lol

The bucket bag is a style that will always be appropriate because it’s so effortless. Perfect for casual days when you just want to lug your kitchen sink around town.

klynneann

Wow, you guys found every bucket bag out there lol! I love the color of the Gucci and the Loewe is gorgeous, but the one from Anya Hindmarch – wow!!

fashdash

Wonder why Mansur Gavriel bucket bag was not included? quite popular, but it is very hard to get your hands on one:/

Rosa Lily

The Gucci one is divine. The MCM is just horrid.

FashionableLena

It’s nice to see a variety of price ranges.
The color on the Louis Vuitton is pretty, and I really like the one from L.A.M.B. But, I just can’t wear a bucket bag. I like them but don’t find them functional. I feel like my stuff is in, well, a bag.
I agree with dnfl. That Saint Laurent looks like something you buy from a mall kiosk.

Ah my heart still belongs to Mansur Gavriel and I’m not giving up! All of these bags are kinda nice but still ..

oooooiioio

I have a wonderful vintage bucket bag that I will drag out for the Summer. Good to know I can pull out the old bags every couple of years 🙂
