The bucket bag has a universally appealing shape: It's structured, but not too structured; fashionable, but not too trendy, and it's the happy medium between a too-large tote and a too-small clutch . It's also one silhouette that both luxury designers and mass retailers have gotten behind (with fervour) in recent seasons, churning out different size, colour, and material variations left and right. And while the original cult favourite belongs to Mansur Gavriel , it's hard to walk into any store without seeing some type of bucket bag these days.
