Frome Brady bucket bag

Brady Bags has been making bags in England since 1887, and the Frome is a fine example of the brand’s craftsmanship: simple shapes, sturdy materials and no-nonsense construction. This bucket bag, made from 100 per cent cotton Drill Drop, has a straight, compact silhouette, making it comfortable to carry both in everyday life and when travelling.

Drill Drop is a fabric exclusive to Brady, which has been used in its bags for many years. This robust cotton canvas contributes to the bag’s durability whilst retaining a certain suppleness.

The Frome also stands out for its dual-purpose carrying system: by fastening the two side rings together, the short handle transforms into an adjustable shoulder strap. The bag can therefore be carried by hand or over the shoulder, without any fiddly adjustments.

The base and shoulder strap are made from saddle leather – two areas subject to particularly heavy wear – which reinforce the bag’s structure and contribute to its longevity.
