Bucket bags. For at least the last 12 years, I’ve fallen in and out of love with the picotin, in a variety of sizes (mainly PM and TGM). Since Covid SIP, they have been working for me year round. I prefer the old iteration (no lock) bc the strap could be tightened to clinch the bag sides together. The current lock version is a vanity thing that really has no function, and I’m never sure where to store the keys. (I picked winter photos bc I figured that most action shots are summery)

ETA: if the bag is cinched (second to last pic) and the material somewhat stiff, things don’t fall out

Navy cargo/black swift picotin 18; ebene barenia picotin PM; felt swift picotin 18; gold Clemence picotin TGM; all PHW

Sorry for being AWOL everyone. I've been so busy with work and have 20 pages to catch up with. I only have had time to read on the train lately, nothing that needs concentration.

However, most of you will have had direct input into the decision to buy this briefcase. It's the Asprey red box leather Hanover briefcase I couldn't stop thinking about. It fits my new mini promotion.

All leather inside and out, all kitted out inside with pen holders, zipped pockets etc. Things that just seem to be missing from many work bags including the H Sac Depeche. I can carry my 13" laptop and/or ipad, no problem but it doesn't look too big or man-size.

Thank you so much for your help in choosing.

Fantastic pairings and wonderful bags!

It appears that I can't think of a single bucket bag in my collection.

Can this possibly be?

How could this happen?

Gap in the wardrobe

Haha, I don't have bucket bags either. I tried once but they don't fit my aesthetic and I am not comfortable with bags that either do not have a zipper or a flap closure.

I do like how @880 carries the larger picotin on her shoulder though. I may be okay with that.

Btw, congratulations on your promotion!

My mother bought me a beauty when I was at school. I really loved it. I would probably call it more balloon than bucket though, as buckets are stiffer and balloons as soft and round.

I liked the Gucci 1955 bucket bag too, especially in navy and burgundy, but I couldn't justify another 1955 (I have the original shoulder box bag version in velvet and leather). I am dying to go to the UK Gucci outlet at Bicester (their one and only) to see what they have. I have never been there. I would buy it at a discount.

I may have a Trussardi but that would mean digging for it. Since it doesn't gather at the top and is (in my mind) flat-ish, I think of it more as a hobo. Buckets are never flat. Flatter hobos look better on me, particularly on the shoulder.

You and I are prob the only 2 people I know that love the TGM size. I saw a woman carrying it the Royal Opera House (London) at a dress rehearsal (audience obviously). It looks fab IRL.

Thank you @More bags , @dcooney4, @lill_canele, @papertiger for commenting and for your kind words

@papertiger , I believe @cakeymakeybakey also has a TGM, perhaps in raisin, so three of us lol

ETA: I carry very little: dior accordion card case (with an emergency purell wipe inside); single key on a lanyard; iphone
(I can clip the cardcase to the lanyard and put the iPhone in a cargo pant pocket). Sometimes I carry a bag just to reduce cost per wear lol.

October challenge wore my black bag today. Normally I would put a piece of towel under it, but my son power washed the deck yesterday. Leaves are falling quickly here.

I'm still building my collection, so here are the things I am still considering. If anyone has recommendations, let me know! I prefer less logos or more lowkey designs.

1. light blue bag (quilted?)
2. light grey bag (quilted?)
3. top handle crossbody bag (Birkin/Kelly Dupes)
4. Black bags
