Why Bucket Bags Are a Must-Have Fashion Accessory
Vashisht Bhatia, Co-Founder of Gioia shared with HT Lifestyle, “Over the years, bucket bags have become quite a popular category in the industry. I believe a reason for this may be due to their versatility - while some hold on to it by its top handle and pair it with their formals, others go hands-free and resort to the detachable long strap to wear it as a shoulder bag or crossbody. Even though bucket bags aren’t too big in size generally, the drawstring gives it an ample amount of space for one’s daily essentials and even lends an elegant, ruffled aesthetic to the bag upon closure.”
She added, "All in all, the beauty of bucket bags is their ability to blend seamlessly into every moment of your life, without you even realizing it - like a best friend you share every secret with or a pet who showers you with unconditional love. It plays each of its roles to perfection, to a point where you may not be able to imagine life without it".
"Bucket bags have been a versatile fashion staple, known for their drawstring closure and variety of materials. But this season, designers have played with different sizes, from mini to oversized, catering to various style preferences. Neutral tones remained timeless, but bold colours and unique strap options added a contemporary flair. Luxury brands and designers continued to influence bucket bag trends, making them a fashion statement for any occasion. It feels so portable yet stunning. I love them," says Chitwan D Malhotra, Dillano's founder.
Deepa Goel founder of Siddh Couture says, "Bucket bags are trendy and versatile choice for any season. They can be used as an everyday bag or as a show-stopping bag only bought out for special occasions. They are not only stylish, but also functional and compact which can fit in half your wardrobe, making it a life saviour."
