There’s something about the start of fall that begs for a new handbag. The excitement that was once associated with the smell of freshly sharpened No. 2 pencils has morphed into that new leather scent. But the question looms, which one! I’m about as indecisive as they get when it comes to making decisions and I always end up finding myself torn between two polar opposites—black or white, big or small. But one thing I know I’m scooping up this year is a bucket bag. The relaxed shape, swinging movement and no fuss vibe makes it all the more meant for my closet. Which one would you get?
