Functional and fabulous. The bucket bag has re-entered the style scene, giving women a reason to be a little less organized this summer. "If ever there was a moment for the bucket bag, it is now," wrote Wall Street Journal fashion columnist Christina Brinkley. "These ready carryalls, with their whiff of hippie style, drawstring tops and roomy bottoms, are all over store shelves, at every price range, touching nearly every high-fashion trend, from fur to fringe." The unstructured style sends a message: You're so cool and carefree you don't mind if the contents of your purse fall to the bottom in a haphazard mess. Because, in the case of this handbag, what's on the outside is all that matters.
