Details

Carry on in style. The Large Bucket Bag is a functional vegan backpack that easily transforms into a refined shoulder bag or handheld. There are two open pockets inside for organization, a drawstring to cinch the top and invisible magnetic closure. It has knotted cording, our “V” graphic and removable straps.

The Large Bucket Bag is created from Technik, 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 in the USA.

Stylish backpack

A chic backpack! This is my go-to work bag when I don't have large folders to carry around. It's lighter than it looks, and it holds its shape after 2 whole years(bought mine in 2021). One minor 'problem' is that the draw string closure, which does not close tightly, so I avoid using this during rainy days.

Overall positive but not sure I’d buy again

I’ve used the bag for quite a few months now and it hold up very well and still looks basically new (and that’s saying something for a mama of two, using this as a glorified diaper bag). I guess I was a little disappointed at the look and feel of the bag when it first arrived. The buckles and hardware of the purse are plastic (or look plastic) and combined with the faux-leather material I feel like it makes the bag vastly cheaper than I actually paid for it. I think some type of metal hardware would look so much better! In the end I know it’s a bag that will last… and I love the sustainability of the brand. But being the most expensive bag I’ve ever purchased, I was expecting more.

The Large Bucket Bag

This bag is very functional and nice looking, I like it a lot. The only way to improve this would be to add in a Crossbody strap to make it even more functional. More organization on the inside of the bag would be nice as well.

Not 13 ounces, straps dig in

I bought this for two reasons: I can wear it as a backpack or shoulder bag, and because it was supposed to weigh 13 ounces (369 grams). I weighed it and it came out to be 728 grams -- almost twice as much as advertised. So, that was a bald-faced lie. For reference, my medium transport tote from Madewell is 700 grams. I cannot carry my medium transport tote on my shoulder for a 3 mile walk. This thing weighs more than that. I may as well stick with the medium transport tote to carry medium-sized amount of items in except this one would retain its structure longer than the all-leather medium transport tote. Or, at least, I would HOPE it would. Judging from how the weight expectation of this bag was way off, who knows if it'll retain its shape. I kept this to use as a backpack but if I keep a 16floz water bottle, a small power bank, and a small reading book in it, the strap begins to dig in (any of them -- the top-handle for shoulder carry and the backpack straps are all the same style). The backpack straps not only dig in due to their thin nature, but, someone brilliantly decided to pre-knot the backpack strap right where it would hit my shoulder. So, for the knot to stop causing pain to your shoulder, you'd have to loosen the knot and "move" the knot somewhere else which would them cause the double straps to separate at somewhere not intended to by the original designer. With all that said, it's very beautiful to look at -- until the scuffs (I have a black one) that get on it start being more and more visible.

In Love With This Bag

This bag is absolutely stunning and the most durable I've ever own. My traditional designer bags don't hold a candle to this one! I plan on selling off my old bags and adding more bags from this brand to my collection. Thank you for your noble mission and breathtaking bag quality!
