Bucket bags aren’t exactly a new trend. As far as we can remember, the trend existed way back when we were still in secondary school, which is a good 7 to 10 years back. Then came Mansur Gavriel, the brand that revived the trend with their unassuming and understated black bucket bag that goes perfectly well with their signature chilli red inner lining, which caused the fashion world to go into a frenzy. Yeap, for the uninitiated, this is the brand that spun endless dupes you see everywhere, from Taobao and Zara. With a very discrete gold-embossed label at the bottom of the bag, the clean lines and simple design was every minimalist’s dream bag come true.
Last November, the brand introduced the Baby Bucket Bag that’s even smaller than their existing Mini and Mini Mini line, and boy, was it adorable. Whether was it meant for babies or for adults, we wanted one even if it meant that we could only fit our bare essentials in it. And by bare, we mean just a phone, a slim card case, house keys, lippy of the day and perhaps squeezing in a portable charger.
This summer, they are not coming up with an egg-sized bucket bag because it just can’t get any smaller than that… right? Instead, three new striking colourways are now being added to the Baby Bucket Bag lineup. The bags are fully dipped in bright, eye-catching primary colours, namely “Sun” – a minion yellow, “Royal” – a sophisticated blue, and “Flamma” – a fiery red.
They’re all made from Italian calf leather with a matte patent on the inside, and feature gold hardware on the adjustable straps. Measuring at just 4.75” by 3”, you can easily hold the bag with one hand.
Though small, we are not sure if it is in any way convenient (the irony!), but we guess you can use it when running errands. Plus, it’s so tiny and adorbz, we just can’t seem to get over it!
