Lots of people make bucket lists, filled with lofty, life-changing goals to be accomplished in their lifetimes. This isn’t one of those lists. This bucket list is filled with beautiful, wardrobe-changing bucket bags, a super hot trend for fall! I think the fact that they are eco friendly is a lofty enough reason to add the purchase of one to my own personal eco fashion bucket list. I bet you will too! In our fall fashion trends sneak peek, we showed you the divine Colleen Estrada Sierra bag in purple vegan leather. Here are more of our top picks!

Ashley Watson Heron Bag

A great fall “go-to,” this handmade, recycled leather bag is one-of-a-kind. We like the versatility of the removable shoulder strap for those days when you need to be hands-free. A bucket that makes others “pail” in comparison. ON SALE FOR $375 (normally $450) at www.ashleywatson.ca.

This fair trade beauty makes a great addition to any bohemian inspired ensemble. It is handmade by a fair trade, women owned business in Kathmandu, using hand loomed cashmere. Bright, beautiful and, at less than $30, economical. $29.99 at www.earthdivas.com.
