For me, handbags are a key feature in any outfit I put together, as not only a practical addition but that finishing touch that can often take a high-street ensemble or last-minute look to new heights. At the top of my wish list right now? Toteme's Belted Bucket Bag (£970).
The Belted Bucket Bag stays true to Toteme's design ethos of timeless silhouettes that still feel fresh many years later. Consider the enduring appeal of its scarf jacket or striped knit as proof of the brand's dedication to classic designs destined to become mainstays in the very best wardrobes. As a brand that forgoes logos and showy monograms, the quality, texture and design are the elements that make its pieces so identifiable as Toteme.
The Belted Bucket Bag on the Toteme S/S 25 runway
Toteme's first foray into the handbag category was the introduction of the T-Lock bag. Supple leather makes this bag malleable enough to sit snugly under the arm, carry by the short handle or wear crossbody via the long strap, all whilst keeping its shape. It was an instant success, gracing the arms of celebrities and fashion people as soon as it launched, and it continues to be coveted amongst the chicest fashion circles. Now the Belted Bucket Bag has arrived, I predict this too will become a cult accessory that will prove its worth for many years to come.
With a bucket-like shape, the bag is roomy enough for essentials and more, featuring a contemporary flair from the belted detailing. We've watched belted bags grow in popularity since hitting the runways for S/S 24. The design adds structure to the shape, allowing the bag to be cinched in or unclasped and left open for more space. On the bottom, you'll find hardware to protect the base when set down, as well as internal slip pockets to keep essentials close to hand.
Currently, the new bag to know about comes in five iterations. There's classic black in both gold and silver hardware, a croc-embossed style, a deep green shade and finally, a khaki canvas-finish style. As a designer piece, it's definitely an investment, with variations ranging from £920 to £970, but compared to other luxury bags that can command thousands, Toteme's prices do feel a little more attainable.
