Harveys has dipped a toe outside its comfort zone with this Berkeley bucket bag.
The stitched seatbelt finish is Harveys trademark, but we’ve never seen the durable materials used in quite this way. The large bucket shape, with a drawstring closure, is much more intricate than the label’s usual accessories. I also appreciate the way Harveys has used colored seatbelts to create stylish stripes. When form and fashion meet like this it’s always a good thing.
I could do without the fiddly drawstring, but I concede that it gives the Berkeley a lovely casual slouch. There’s also a magnetic snap underneath it, so we needn’t worry about our cargo going astray. This bucket offers plenty of space and enough pockets to keep our small items in order.
As it’s part of Harveys Treecycle line, we can count on this bucket bag being a bit more eco-friendly than the rest of the label’s range. Its signature print lining is crafted from hemp, a material which leaves a much smaller carbon footprint than cotton and other popular choices. Its recycled logos are also green as they’re printed with eco-friendly ink.
We pay a small premium for Harveys sustainable choices, but at $168 this bucket is still really affordable. I think taking better care of the planet is worth that, don’t you?
