Bucket bags are a great level up from a tote bag in terms of sophistication and structure, making them the perfect choice for an everyday fall bag. This option from Loewe is an ideal in-between size: not overwhelmingly large, but big enough to accomodate on a busy lifestyle with ease. The minimalist shape allows focus to fall on the elegant strap, which is easily adjustable with the Anagram Pebble. A navy blue bag is not as common as the typical neutral tones flaunted on fall runways, so it offers a unique flair while still being subtle enough to fit any outfit.
