Last spring, we spotted a nearly neon yellow bucket bag in J.Crew's spring lineup and promptly fell head-over-heels in love. Then our everyone's worst fashion nightmare happened, THE BAG SOLD OUT, and we have lamented our lost love ever since. Mercifully, the throwback style has been staging a comeback (thank you Alexander Wang), and while we'll always regret not buying the "one that got away," we may just be consoling ourselves with one of the options below. From Boden's preppy polished look to Kate Spade Saturday's striped canvas option, the bucket bag is perfect for carrying all your summer essentials from the office, to the beach, to the bar, and back again.—Cleo Zancope
