Their site's news section (aka tumblr page) said in summary:
- most stores restock in late feb/early march and to email about specific colour combos to find out where to look for them
- the black flamma bucket is available for preorder now from steven alan
I emailed about the camello rosa and camello dolly buckets. Hopefully I hear back soon.
I'm torn between those colour combos and the black flamma - the "signature" colour combo I guess...? It's certainly a very coveted colour combo for the bucket bag.
Black is just so practical and works better year round compared to the camello. But, considering that the bag style isn't about practicality anyway, I kind of want to throw caution to the wind and go for the light, fun, spring/summery combo.
I would really like to hear from someone who has the bucket bag. Like how pliable and sturdy the leather is, if it needs to be babied, if it scratches easy, etc.

I read up on this bag and iit looks great but they are sold out everywhere. Would love to know when and where I could buy one!
There are a few on eBay I've seen now and then. They tend to go very fast unless the price is hiked up considerably.
Try emailling them about what specific colour combo you want. They responded quickly to both me and my friend who is interested.

When I emailed, I was told camello/dolly for the bucket bag would be sold at Bergdorf Goodman's and there is no waiting list. This was not mentioned on the Fashionista list though. For the other specific colour combo of bucket bag asked about, I was told that net-a-porter would sell it and there was also no waiting list.
Also, I've been following them on instagram and they have been showing prototype backpacks and mini buckets for summer. If you do miss out for spring, it probably won't be a long wait for the next batch.

I've seen the totes and pouches IRL and I was disappointed vis a vis the photos and did not buy (after being completely ready to jump). Just not that high quality of leather and the totes are SO basic. Maybe the bucket bag is better being closed at top but so far this seems to me an overhyped brand at a Clare Vivier quality level.
Has anyone seen the mini buckets in real life? How much smaller are they compared to the regular?
the latest collection is available for preorder on Moda Operandi!
