Isn't she just perfect? The Rocco bag has been uber popular in the blogosphere but I kind of think it's a bit done now. That and I don't always have an arm free to hold a bag! The Diego, however, can be held like that or slung over your shoulder, and is so pretty! Sure it's not the conventional type of pretty, but I like it lots. Obviously I'm not loving the £695 price tag, so I've been adding rip-offs to my watch list on eBay for literally months on end. I've also tried to track down some similar styles on the high street and hoped something would catch my eye. Here are a few picks:
My favourite out of the lot would have to be the Zara offering (click the link to see all the little diamonds! So cutes!) but I feel I would probably only want to use that for special occasions and so on, whereas the Diego 'style' one is more suitable for daytime too? I feel like my perfect ones always end up being the most pricey as well (looking at you UO..) but hey what can you do! I was thinking about getting the H&M one and customising it myself but I saw it in store and it was really plastic looking! Probably going to end up getting the eBay version and maybe getting the Zara one for my birthday or something. What do you think? Are bucket bags for you or not so much?
I like bucket bags, though I prefer a more slouchy kind of bag. My favourite of all of those is the one least like a bucket bag.

Oooh that Zara bag! So beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteThe Zara and Urban Outfitters bags are definitely my favourite, as well! And surely you wouldn't be able to save the Zara bag for just special occasions? It'd look lovely dressed down during the day x
ReplyDeleteI had a bucket bag about five years ago, and it really annoyed me for accessability. Ha! But these all look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteNot gonna lie, probably going to buy the Zara or River Island version soon (: I love the bucket version of the Rocco, it looks more high end to me and so much more unique. I have a lovely taupe and muted green bucket bag from Topshop that I haven't worn in forever. xxx
ReplyDeleteIve been lusting over a bucket bag for a while, that bag from Zara needs to be mine! xx
ReplyDeletei love these bags - got a lush one from primark with studs last year and i wore it to death...time for a new one xx
ReplyDeleteoh i love the urban outfitter bag!
ReplyDeletethese replicas are so great! i've had my eyes on a bucket bag like these for ages!

My boyfriend bought me one from New Look that looks very like the Urban Outfitters bag. I think he got it in May so I don't know if they still have it, it was kinda expensive for New Look though - £55 I think.

I love bucket bags! I have the problem of filling them with too much stuff and then taking forever to retrieve things. Might need to search for on with lots of pockets inside :-) x
ReplyDeleteI love the Alexander Wang one, it looks so much more expensive compared to rest of them. If only we were rich *sigh*.
ReplyDeleteOut of the highstreet versions, I definitely like the Zara and River Island ones best!
Beth,

ReplyDeletethis has made me really want a bucket bag!xo

I actually have a really old Pauls Boutique (lol) bucket bag that I still really like! They hold SO much but it's almost impossible to find anything you're looking for inside it! i actually really like the topshop one :) x
ReplyDeleteI really like bags like this ;) I might think of the zaras one. xx
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you have come across this one yet? http://vintagefunky.blogspot.com/search/label/bottom%20stud%20bag Have had it bookmarked for about 4 months. Ha. I just want the real thing though :(
ReplyDeletei love the alexander wang bag, wish it wasnt so pricey!
ReplyDeleteI think the Zara one has to be my favourite out of the high street but it probably wouldnt fit all my junk in it! :P x
The top left one is my fave!

I love the Alexander Wang one so much! Wish it could just be a little less expensive :(
ReplyDeleteGrace x
i'd rather buy shoes...
It's gorgeous! I love the Zara version :) x
ReplyDeleteI love these bags but I know that when it comes to actually using it I wouldn't get the wear out of it. My favourite is the UO one I think...
ReplyDeleteits beautiful! personally i love bucket bags but im not sure they would hold all my crap.

I saw this bag just after I bought an incredibly similar one from Primark of all places! It has the same sort of finish as the Alexander Wang one, and also has similar fastenings. Usually I steer clear of imitation leather from Primark, but the bag is so nice, and as well as a short strap like the Rocco it has a longer shoulder strap. It was only £9 and has lasted really well, carried a ton of stuff including my dSLR all round Berlin and it's still perfect. Maybe worth a go looking in the big Primark stores? Might even be on sale now. :)
