Best Bucket Bag Styles for 2025 – Why They’re a Key Essential

by Matt von Holtz.

The History and Evolution of Bucket Bags

Bucket bags have a long-standing history in fashion, evolving from strictly practical use to being seen in every wardrobe. Louis Vuitton’s iconic Noé bucket bag debuted in 1932 as a practical solution for a champagne maker to carry five bottles, four upright, one upside down (genius, right?). This innovative design fused utility with style, firmly cementing the bucket bag’s place in fashion history. The 1970s saw another revival, with Bonnie Cashin’s designs for Coach infusing the bucket bag with a fresh approach that captured the era’s free-spirited energy. Fast forward to the 2010s, and Mansur Gavriel’s minimalist reinterpretation propelled the bucket bag back into mainstream popularity.

 

Key Bucket Bag Trends for 2025

In the past decade, bucket bags have remained a consistent presence in fashion. By 2018, the bag gained recognition as a must-have for autumn, celebrated for its adaptability and ample interior space. The 2023 runways saw bucket bags reimagined with sculptural shapes and innovative materials. Designers like Hermès and Ulla Johnson incorporated exotic leathers such as crocodile and ostrich, as well as sustainable options like raffia and woven textiles.

 

Bucket Bags – An Essential Accessory for Every Wardrobe

The bucket bag is poised to remain a key accessory in every wardrobe, evolving with innovative takes on materials, sizes, and aesthetics. Designers are exploring new territory, pairing luxurious finishes like padded leather and suede with more unexpected materials, such as metallic or laser-cut fabrics. Sustainability continues to play a significant role, with a focus on recycled textiles and plant-based alternatives. Size-wise, oversized and micro bucket bags are gaining popularity, offering something for every preference. Prada’s larger styles exude a relaxed refined vibe, while Khaite’s compact bags provide a sleek, modern option.
