Pattern Description:

The Trenta Bucket Bag boasts a classic bucket shape with multiple removable straps that coverts from bucket bag to backpack in seconds so your bag will never leave you down. Adjust and move forward on the go from a top handle for carrying over the arm, to an adjustable shoulder strap to be worn on the shoulder or even crossbody, to completely handsfree as a comfortable to carry backpack. 

Fashion meets function with a great silhouette, roomy interior, and just the right amount of organization. Lots of details to give your new bucket bag a classy professional feel. The addition of a drawstring closure and flap keeps all your stuff securely inside.
