These days, bucket bags are a dime a dozen, but this Maiyet bag stands out from the hordes of slouchy crossbodies and fringy, suede numbers by being truly unique. While it’s technically a bucket, the shape is not of a traditional one. Rather, it’s an open cube, and the bottom comes together like a little bulb topped with two metal feet (set on the diagonal). It’s absolutely adorable. The mini size doesn’t hurt either. Actually, combined with this wide, open shape, it’s all the space you need.
Only downside is the drawstring is a bit awkward, which is thanks to the bag’s jaunty structure. It’s not really a problem, though. As the leather wears in, it will lie down flatter and not stick up so much. And trust: you will use this little red bag so much, it will wear in sooner rather than later. On Shopbop for $595.
Wear with: Toss Burberry Beauty’s camouflage-patterned Runway Palette compact into your updated bucket for a smoky eye and a cute conversation piece. On NET-A-PORTER for $70.
