bucket bag designed by rachel mansur

Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel are the co-founders of Mansur Gavriel, the fashion brand whose iconic collection of bucket bags put the style in the center of the fashion map a few years back winning them multiple CFDA awards.

Ever since, the brand has been busy launching a range of creamy leather bags and accessories in timeless colors that have earned the brand a devoted cult following.

We asked one half of the designing duo, Rachel Mansur to talk to us in our In My Closet series where we rifle through drawers and make personal shopping notes with women whose sustainable taste we admire from Leighton Meester to Reformation’s Yael Aflalo.
