The Bucket List

Whether ‘The Bucket List’ triggers thoughts of the infamous film starring Morgan Freeman (great as it is), or the definition more commonly recognised by the Oxford Dictionary as:

a number of experiences or achievements a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime

The saying holds a more literal meaning here at MyBag. In this case those experiences come in the form of bags, specifically bucket bags (duh). An emerging trend since 2015, bucket bags have refused to budge for a bunch of extremely commendable and necessary reasons. For the easy-going girl on the go stepping from a day at work to a night on the town, we have the answer. From staple textured features to an iconic SS18 palette of baby pinks and lilacs accompanied by accenting trends including embellishments and top handles galore, we come screeching in to the season with The MyBag Bucket List.

Equal parts form and function, the bucket bag is an undeniable essential for the girl who spends her days on the go and needs access to all areas in one easy hit. With 70s style in tow and just in time for a 2018 Summer of love (we hope), this sturdy style has the base you need to be on the move plus space to fill and multiple handle options, so what’s not to love? (Cue answer: nothing). For everything from a water bottle to your sunglasses, glasses and pencil case, the bucket bag is the fill-to-the-brim-with-essentials-and-then-ignore bag you knew you needed but could never quite find, lucky for you now we’re here to help:
