But first, a quick history lesson. In 1932, Louis Vuitton created one of the first bucket bags with the release of the Noé bag. Conceived by the designer’s grandson, Gaston-Louis Vuitton, it was originally intended as a stylish, yet sturdy method for transporting five bottles of champagne (he read our minds). Years later, it’d gain mainstream popularity for its utilitarian feel and unique look, standing out alongside Chanel flap bags and Gucci hobo bags. Whether you’re looking for a bag to carry all of your sundry items, or a means of keeping your rosé close to the vest, the piece is sure to suit your lifestyle and integrate seamlessly with your wardrobe.
