RETURN OF THE BUCKET BAG
If you love your utility with a side of casual chic, then you were probably one of the many who lamented as the classic bucket bag fell out of favor for a few years. Never fear, though! 2022 is seeing a resurgence of everyone’s favorite collapsible bag. This season’s interpretation is getting a refresh in fun colors and textures. Here are just a few that will get your inspo going…
