20 Designer Bucket Bags to Put in Rotation Now

Designer bucket bags are among our go-to everyday handbags—perfect for quick errands, polishing off a work look, or a stepping up a playful weekend outfit. Offering a stylishly spacious option when smaller shoulder bags, top handles, and crossbody bags feel too slight, a designer tote bag or oversize silhouette delivers functionality and form at once. Many are sculptural in shape, crafted from luxurious fabrications, or detailed with high-polish hardware for an elegant touch.
Of course, if you’re all for a mini, teenier bucket bags, rendered in materials like sumptuous velvet or suede, make for a lovely option for a special occasion or when you’re toting only the essentials. Then, there are specialty designs, like those artfully strung with seashells or crafted of seasonal material like raffia—a must-have for getaways and to complement your warm-weather wardrobe.
