While Chloe has been in fashion mecca this summer, I’ve been settling in, unpacking boxes, and traveling with my son for sports. Needless to say, fashion and blogging have taken a backseat to family. I’ve asked Chloe to fill me in on what she’s noticed on the streets of New York, always one of my favorite ways to spot new trends. While bucket bags are not a new trend, they are heavily in rotation among the fashionistas in the city this summer.
These are a few I’m taking a look at, with some budget options thrown in the mix. Since I recall this trend from when I was a teen, I’m not sure if I’ll be jumping on the bucket bag bandwagon, but Chloe wanted a few options, so I pulled together a few for her… along with some that just caught my fancy.

The go-to Mansur Gavriel ones above are everywhere in a mini size, although I’d call it manageable one since one that’s too big simply becomes a dumping bag for moi, but here’s a budget version that has gotten great reviews. And procrastinators rejoice since this Tod’s version is 50% off and available to our European friends too! Perfect for fall is the calf-hair bucket bag in leopard. I would absolutely rock it with all black, but I’ve most definitely been wearing leopard with prints and love the juxtaposition. If you want to stray from leather, this tan nubuck version is so sumptuous, or check out this leather look budget option by Target. And if you decide to invest and splurge, then why not go with this vintage Chanel piece in impeccable shape and glorious texture? It’s also available in peach. Yummy.
Are there bucket bags in your future (or present)?
