What makes KMM & Co. special?
Things customers love about the KMM & Co. bucket bag:
1. Gorgeous full-grain leather
From Cypress to Kodiak and beyond, the bucket bag is made of beautiful full-grain leathers. That's the highest quality leather made, with all the natural grain and character of the leather intact.
2. Handcrafted drawstring closure
A bucket bag isn't complete without a handcrafted drawstring closure. And great design is as much about what you leave out as what you include: This bag is made without the grommets that typically discolor or cause excessive wear on a drawstring.
3. Comfortable, two-ply strap
Whether you want to carry it crossbody or on one shoulder, the bucket bag's cushy two-ply strap adjusts to the right length with solid brass buckles. The strap also has gorgeous topstitching – one of our favorite details on a bag full of great details.
The bucket bag is a labor of love: It took many months to perfect the design, and it takes many hours to craft each bag. Great design and heirloom craftsmanship take time. We want to make a bag you'll carry for decades: That's always worth it.

How the bucket bag gets made
Each bag is handmade in the USA (in our Atlanta studio)! First, we cut the pieces of your bucket bag from a hand-picked side of full-grain leather. We hem the top edge for a clean and classic finish.
Next, we stitch the body pieces of the bag together. Then, we make the drawstring closure: a perfectly proportioned leather cord with an easy-to-slide keeper and elegant (yet fun!) leather tassels.
Finally, we make a squishy, luxurious, two-ply shoulder strap. The strap shows off our new coordinating thread, one of the many details that set a KMM & Co. bag apart as an heirloom.

Ask away! FAQs about the bucket bag
How much does a KMM & Co. bucket bag hold?
The bucket bag has a slightly larger capacity than a KMM & Co. mini tote. It can carry your book, a small tablet, a water bottle, some snacks, a large wallet, keys – the list goes on. (Don't forget snacks!)
What if I need a longer (or shorter) strap?
No problem, we can make sure the strap is the right length for you! Just send us a message and we'd be happy to make a shorter strap or to craft a strap extender to ensure a perfect fit.
How suitable is the bucket bag strap for all-day carrying?
The bucket bag strap is VERY comfortable! To make a strap in the same leather as the body of the bag, we designed a two-ply strap that's soft, squishy, and meticulously topstitched. It takes skilled hands and lots of time to make it this way – but we're up for it.
Does the bucket bag work with other crossbody straps?
Absolutely! If you have a strap already, or if you want to accessorize with one of our chain link straps, just add a pair of strap adapters to your cart. Then, you can attach the strap of your choice!
What kinds of markings can I expect with full-grain leather?
Full-grain leather retains all of its original grain and character, including any imperfections. You might see range marks, grain variations, small spots or scratches, folds, or color variation. They're all a beautiful part of the leather's natural character.
