Michael Kors pares back his usual design aesthetic for this minimalist Gladstone Bucket bag from his MICHAEL line.
The Gladstone’s classic bucket shape is accented by a band of woven leather around the base. This accent works with the earthy burnt orange to create a bag that’s a little bit country, but not kitsch. While it takes its cues from the Wild West, it could easily blend into an urban environment.
Michael Kors may have skimped on exterior elements, but he’s shown real attention to detail inside. The Gladstone’s a gadget lover’s dream, with a whopping four open pockets. These slip pouches are complemented by a zippered pocket and a clever key fob. The single handle is certainly long enough for easy carrying, but if you’re having a busy day you may find the cross-body option simpler to manage. The Gladstone’s magnetic snap isn’t the best closure for such a wide bag, but this is Michael Kors only real misstep.
That makes the Gladstone a real bargain at $328. With quality designs like this, Michael Kors is showing real commitment to his diffusion line.
