Bucket bags are not worse than any other bag for finding things. No matter the style, if you carry a largeish bag, you will have to dig for things. I have two bucket bags, one small and one medium, and they both have interior pockets/zippered compartments for things like keys and phones.

I actually like bucket bags. Especially if the have both a short handle for forearm carry, shoulder strap and cross body. I just bought a new black one yesterday and liked it so much I went back tonight and bought another in the gray/beige color. View attachment 3169717

I finally got to see these bags. They really are lovely. They only had the grey, green, and a summery blue color in stock. I was looking for a black bag with silver hardware to go with my black frye harness boots for a casual look. Unfortunately they have gold hardware or I might have chanced ordering one online. I have to say though the quality was really good . If I wasn't trying to stick with only getting what I need lately I would have bought one. At this point though closet space is at a premium so I can not buy anything just because I like it and the price is amazing. That is how I ended up with to many things in my closet to begin with. For those who are looking for a good bucket bag this is fantastic. It was classier and better quality then some bags five times the price.

These look a LOT like the buckets Madewell is selling this year (I have one in black) - Madewell's version is $198, but their sales are good and have been on markdown several times. Still a bit pricier than these - but agree wholeheartedly with dcooney4 that these beat some of the bags that go for MUCH more.

I've missed the brand on these - are they Saks own brand? They look stunning.

I have a Coach bucket and it works great for me. It helps that it has one zippered compartment and two slots for putting a phone inside, as well as one external compartment - so wallet and phone go into these compartments and I never have any problem finding them. I also use several pouches for various other things I carry around with me.

(Keep in mind though that my regular work bag is a Longchamp Le Pliage Neo - so my Coach bucket with a few compartments is already significantly more organised!)

I'm currently eyeing up one of the MG buckets...

I have a vintage coach bucket as well. The pocket for the telephone is a big plus. My other bucket bag doesn't have a pocket and it's a bit annoying.

It was KC Jagger not kelsie dagger. Sorry I was tired and was thinking how the names were so similar and then put the wrong one. Just realized when I went to take another look at charleston- moms bag and saw my post.

I have the Madewell mini Lafayette bucket and really like it. It has three interior pockets so it's not too much of a black hole, however I wish it was lined in a brighter color fabric instead of brown because it makes it hard to spot dark items. It reminds me of the all-vachetta LV release from a while back and has developed a patina. Really happy with my purchase and am glad I bought it instead of chasing a MG bucket.
