Sightings of celebrities (or style bloggers) in drawstring bucket bags aren’t that common. For some reason, the drawstring bucket silhouette is not exactly what one would consider a “usual choice” when choosing bags, yes?

Could it be the design? Or is it simply that drawstring bucket bags look old-fashioned (a la vintage Louis Vuitton Noe or the Gucci drawstring bag from the 1980s)?

Of course, one thing to note is that vintage or classic bags are returning. Many labels are looking to their archives for inspiration, reissuing heritage styles that are more timeless in look and feel.

Women have received this old-is-new revival very well – from trendsetters to followers worldwide. So it was no surprise that Pixie Lott, one of London’s IT girls, sported a bright red Moschino drawstring bucket shoulder purse while at a Panasonic event in Oxford Circuit yesterday.

She used the bag to spice up a black and white retro-inspired outfit and looked adorable.

The 22-year-old dressed playfully in plaid pants paired with a Moschino jacket. She accessorized with a cute bow headband that made her look even younger.

Fantastic combination, yes? We especially love the pop of red she infused into the dark attire. And speaking of red, that Moschino drawstring bucket bag sure doesn’t look that outdated. Would you consider wearing one this season?
