bucket bag

Drawstring carry sack

A bucket bag is a handbag shaped like a bucket—cylindrical or slightly tapered, with an open top that typically cinches closed with a drawstring.

The style emerged in the 1930s and has remained popular for its casual, roomy design: She tossed her phone and wallet into her bucket bag.
