As if you needed another reason to hop on the bucket bag trendwagon, designers have added another functional feature to everyone's favorite accessory: straps to double your bag as a backpack. We love this new detail because toting your things on just one shoulder isn't the greatest way to treat your body. Plus, you get more bang for your buck with this hybrid style. Check out our slideshow to pick your favorite bucket bag backpacks now.
