Details

A high-style, low carbon bag with a clean, structured shape and our signature knotted detail. The Bucket Crossbody is 100% vegan. It can be worn as a shoulder bag or handheld thanks to its removable, adjustable straps. It has invisible magnetic closure, an interior zippered pocket and a drawstring you can cinch.

The Bucket Crossbody is created from Technik-Leather, a premium and remarkably supple material made from plants and recycled water bottles. The liner feels like suede, but it’s actually a soft microfiber also created from plastic water bottles.

It’s made by master artisans in Italy.

The best vegan bag

This is the best quality bag on vegan market. It's beautiful simple design, no logo, no monograms or other unnecessary things, just classic, minimalistic and clean design which i love. It looks and feel luxurious and expensive. Practical and stylish in the same time which is what i'm always looking for . I'm thinking about buying small tote, that just came out as well. Thank you for creating the vegan products.

Great daily bag!

I LOVE the design, size, and the material of this bag. The bag is just like the photos. The stitching and the overall craftsmanship is excellent! So simple, but unique. It's also lightweight and spacious. I added a purse insert to make everything organized inside the bag. It pretty much goes with any outfits. Customer service team is awesome! I've had great experience with them. The cons I have for this bag are the length of the shoulder strap. I am 5'3 tall and the bag sits below my hip level (making it hard to reach into the bag without pulling it up a little). It also may be because I like my bags to sit slightly higher, but it does make it very inconvenient for me. I ended up doing another extra knot tie on the straps on both sides, which solved my problem.. But very slightly took away the sleek look of the bag. The straps and the knot on the bag also dug/rubbed against my skin & collarbone when I wore it crossbody. Again, I may be just a bit more pickier side... A keeper!

This would have been my 6th VH bag, but...

I have been a long time supporter of Von Holzhausen bags and this would have been the 6th bag that I've purchased from them (plus the micro bag and the smaller pouches), but my recent purchase has been an incredibly frustrating experience. I LOVE a good leather bag, so when I tried to stop using animal products, my standards are high and VH is among the very few that could meet them. With this said, there are many things that could and frankly should be improved about the company and the bags. 1) Inclusiveness. The shoulder strap for this bag is incredibly long, and this is a problem that applies to a few of its other bags as well. As a 5'3" girl, this bag sits below my bottom on a shoulder carry. It looks like the bags are designed for models or people that are at least 5'8". 2) As a shorter customer, this means I find myself to either not buy the bag, deal with it hanging ridiculously low, or pay extra for the custom shortening of the straps. I went for the last option for both the Handheld and this bag. Extra money aside, the Handheld strap adjustment took an extra week, with this bag, it has been 6 weeks and my bag is still nowhere in sight. 3) Customer service is spotty at best and definitely inadequate. I have had to follow up many times over the duration of this 6-week wait, am frankly trying to cut my losses and see if I could at least get my bag without the strap shortening, and kept getting half hearted responses about them trying to get updates from the workshop but never any dates, commitment, or clarity. I cannot imagine ever going through this again. 4) Another overarching feedback on the VH bags is that while clean in the design, what it sacrifices is functionality in having good organization and pockets. Will have to see whether there are improvements going forward, otherwise this may be my last VH purchase.

It’s cute but

I like this bag but you can definitely tell the difference between the texture of this vs real leather. It looks dry or matte. I also felt it to minimalist for my style so I added a scarf to liven it up for summer.
