The handbag itself is plain and simple in an envelope, flip top design. It’s the bag’s straps that brings a lot of character, as it is designed and embellished with coins and metals.

This is called the Gypsy Caravan Crossbody from the brand Tyler Malibu, and it comes in a few other colors like Taupe, Dove and Asphalt.

You can get this from Amazon.

But over the years, bucket handbag designs are becoming trendier and trendier. And it’s like every designer has a bucket bag or two in their collection. Bucket bags may not be a popular choice, just yet. But I’ve got a sense that in a couple of years, someone’s going to come up with an IT bag designed as a bucket bag.

For now, though, these selections I think are good enough to complement your style and fashion.

Chloé – Gabby Suede & Leather Patchwork Bucket Bag

I like the colorblocked style of this bucket bag. The pocket flaps also make it look contemporary. This is a roomy handbag at 8¾”W X 13″H X 8½”D. The inside is lined with cotton and comes with two more extra pockets. I just want it to come with longer straps, though.

DVF Gold/Black Bucket Bag with Tassel

I think this is a sexy bucket bag, made perfect by its black and gold combination. The tassel puts a nice decorative touch. A woman with a chic style sense can do wonders with this bag when it comes to styling. And since it’s in metallic, this handbag is already a classic accessory for the Fall/Winter season in my book.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Peace Work Stripe Bucket

I’m not so thrilled about the stripes but for some reason, I remain drawn to this bucket bag because of its structure. I think it’s compact enough to put a bag organizer in there. This is made of cotton and would be great for fall daytime wear.

Small Jaden Tote

This oversized Chloe’ satchel is made of slouchy, soft grained leather using lambskin and goat. The bag is dyed in a luxurious nutmeg-mocha shade, which I find really appealing. It is accented with goldtone hardware, for a chic style. The inside comes with the usual zip pockets for extra space.

You can get this at Nordstrom.

Chloé ‘Ethel’ Satchel

I like Longchamp bags for their simplicity and chic style. I also like that their bags provide a lot of functionality and versatility. This striped canvas for instance is a very useful and effective every day carry-all.

Double shoulder straps, top bridge magnetic snap closure
Interior pouch, zip and cell phone pockets

Longchamp Coup de Pinceau Striped Canvas Tote

The simplest of bag designs make the best bags in many cases. This square tote, with its straight uncluttered shape, and pleated leather front, is one like it.

Classic yet feminine, the bag comes in olive green, which makes it more casual…imbibing a safari chic style even. Inside, the bag is lined with leopard printed fabric.

B. MAKOWSKY Athens Tote

The glam charm meets rock chic style Thomas Wylde is known for is so evident in this stud bag. Its creativity and craftsmanship is also worth noting for I love how the bag is shaped and designed. It’s wacky, but in a sense, really pretty.

Thomas Wylde Henna Nailhead Stud Bag

Chloe goes for retro-chic style with this shoulder bag in mauve colored leather, highlighted by python trimmings and gold chains and gold hardware. Is the style a bit too much or does it embody a really fabulous retro look?
