The bucket bag - la Repubblica

You say spring and you immediately think of bucket bags: bucket bags that immediately make you think of the warm season and greater freedom of movement. In the spring summer 2024 collections there really are ones for every taste and occasion: in leather, straw or fabric. The proposal varies from the rigid shape to the natural straw weaves, from smooth leather to logoed fabric. Decline in natural colours, with some exceptions consisting of models in bright colours. The dimensions are also different: there are roomy models, which can also be worn over the shoulder, as well as mini ones, to be shown off by hand. An additional idea is to hang charms or colored silk ribbons on the handles.

What is the bucket bag and when was it born

Also called Bucket Bag, in English, the ‘bucket bag’ saw its birth in 1932, designed by the Louis Vuitton maison on commission from a Champagne producer who wanted a bag useful for holding up to five bottles. Thus was born the famous Noè, which then also became the perfect bag to use during high society picnics. Also in the 1930s, some designers decided to create everyday bucket bags; among them there was also Elsa Schiapparelli who in 1935 declined it in a cylindrical shape, and Gucci, who married the model in 1937. The real boom, however, came in the 60s, when the bucket became the most widespread model.

And even today it does not lose its charm: “The bucket is an accessory that immediately gives a unique style. An allure that smacks of a 1950s American film, of Parisian style and at the same time of Italian style. That of the artisans of the past. ” the Le Nom team tells us. “Customization is then strategic: the idea from which our brand was born. And it is the thing that characterizes us because we have declined it in an even more unique and special way. It is not printed and it is not even the traditional leaf “gold. Ours is hand painted with special paints. No two are the same as another. Everyone can choose from many characters” concludes the team.
