Baskets, unique straw shapes, and bucket styles are leading the trends in the handbag department this summer. But a certain low-key style I’m swooning over are: net bucket bags. There’s so many style variations but this one in particular from Mango caught my eye. The classic cognac color and ivory net contrast makes for the perfect combination. The trick to making them stylish? Pairing them with more polished pieces like pretty summer dresses or statement kimonos, like this one. While I love a good designer handbag, there’s nothing more satisfying then finding a good dupe for half the price. I scored this net bucket bag from Mango for 30% off! It’s lightweight and wooden hardware makes it the perfect balance of casual and classy. If you follow me on Instagram (@champagne_muse) you know I can’t get enough of it.
