"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
No well-rounded purse collection is complete without the classics: a designer tote, crossbody bag for travel, straw bag for summer, just to name a few. But if you ask me—a serious bag collector—there's always room for one more style. Bucket bags have been picking up steam in recent years, with Mansur Gavriel's cult-favorite iteration taking the trend cycle by storm, and are clearly shaping up to be a wardrobe mainstay.
Somewhere in between a crossbody and tote, the cylindrical carryall is inherently roomy, versatile, and suitable for all kinds of occasions. There are mini styles that can go from brunch to date night without hesitation; there are oversized options big enough to fit a laptop and your other work essentials; and there are even glam iterations perfect for that upcoming formal fete on your calendar. Basically what I am trying to tell you is, the world is your bucket bag oyster!
Ahead, I shared some of the best bucket bags from brands across the board, from designer options by Prada, Gucci, and Loewe to reasonably priced picks by Cuyana, Madewell, and J.Crew. Shop my favorites, below.
Mini Mini Bucket Bag
Bucket bags and Mansur Gavriel are practically synonymous. The popular style is cut from supple Saffiano leather and available in two sizes in a range of colors. You can't go wrong with a black or chestnut color, but I am particularly obsessed with this cornflower blue for spring.
Material: 100% Italian Saffiano leather
Dimensions: 5.9" W x 7.9" H x 3.9" D
Colors: 8
Sizes Available: Mini, Regular
Linea Bucket Bag
Not to sound like a broken record, but we capital L love Cuyana here at T&C. New in the brand's purse family is the Linea, which is a modern take on the cylindrical silhouette with a thick top handle, removable strap, and oh-so roomy interior. The leather used to make the bag is also top-notch, but no surprise there.
Material: Italian leather
Dimensions: 9.5" H x 11" W x 6" D
Colors: 9
Sizes Available: Mini, Medium, Oversized

The slightly unstructured shape, elegant top handles, tonal canvas trim combined with textured Italian leather, and stunning cream color make Loro Piana's Bale an all-around winner.

Re-Edition 1978 Re-Nylon Mini Bag
The bucket bag gets the Prada Re-Edition treatment, and it's everything you'd expect and more: a durable style perfectly shaped to hold your daily necessities by hand or over your shoulder. It also comes in several playful colors, like azure blue, chartreuse, and orange.
Material: Nylon
Dimensions: 6.1'' W x 7.6'' H x 3.9'' L

If there isn't already a Gucci in your bag collection, this burgundy bucket bag will make a great addition. And if you already have a Gucci? I say, the more the merrier!

Colors: 5
Roseau Essential XS Bucket bag
For the woman who's always on the go, this sleek style with a distinctive bamboo toggle is perfectly sized to schlep everything you need in style. The forest green is also a nice change from black and brown.

Colors: 4

Simple and understated, Everlane's carryall is guaranteed to be your favorite everyday companion because it holds a ton without weighing a ton. It even has a huge exterior pocket when you need to grab your things in a pinch.

Add some textural dimension to your look with a suede carrier. Madewell's oversized take is uber spacious (it can hold up to a 15" laptop, phone, wallet and keys) without giving off a bulky look.
Material: Suede
Dimensions: 14" H x 10" W x 6" D
Colors: 7

Material: Raffia & leather
Dimensions: 8.7" W x 9.8" H x 7.1" D

Berkeley Bucket Bag
I like to think of this as a bucket tote: it has a pared back look to it and a massive interior big enough to hold your laptop, pouches, and whatnot.
Material: Leather
Dimensions: 12 1/2" H x 9" W
Colors: 2
Tall Tote Taupe
Not only does this bag provide ample room for 14” laptops and other important belongings, but there's a big exterior pocket for easy access to your phone, MetroCard, lip balm, and other small essentials.
Material: Leather
Dimensions: 12.5" H x 11" L x 6” W

Paloma Ruched Pouchette Beaded Bucket Bag
This bag is small, but boy, does it pack a sartorial punch. Between the ruching at the rim and the polished stones on the strap, the Paloma is natural statement-maker.

Leather Crossbody Bag
Let your bag do all the talking this summer with this standout option from Etro.
Material: Leather
Dimensions: 7.1" W x 7.3" H x 4.7" D
Roseto Vacchetta Leather Bucket Bag
That red color alone should convince you to buy this Il Bisonte. Just look at it? Beyond. I can see it being worn with a simple white tee-and-jeans combo, but also with a more elegant look, like a patterned sundress or LBD.
Material: Leather
Dimensions: 9.1" H x 3.9" W x 8.7" D
Colors: 3
Bead-Embellished Leather Bucket Bag
From afar, this looks like your typical bucket bag with the rippled opening and oblong shape. But up close, you'll see its the Monili bead-embellished handle that makes it so special. We'd expect nothing less from Brunello Cucinelli.
Material: Leather & Monili beads
Dimensions: 9.8" W x 8.7" H x 4.7" D
Bon Bon Velvet Bucket Bag
When the dress code calls for black tie, it's this lush Bon Bon bag you'll want to carry.
