affordable bucket bag

Textured Faux-Leather Bucket Bag
Spring's "it" bag is made for those of us who travel with a little more than the essentials—including that bottle of wine for book club. Just as practical as it is polished, the bucket style can fit as much as a tote, but the drawstring keeps everything in place. Plus, this one rivals the luxurious looks of top designers' styles—but for a fraction of the cost.
