Gucci Has Created The Bags Of Our Re-Emergence Dreams

Gucci Has Created The Bags Of Our Re-Emergence Dreams

As we ease back into society, so too comes the realisation that we might actually require more than the inbuilt pockets of our leggings to hold our things. Enter: the humble bag. Remember them?

And none claim as much status as three classics from Gucci: the Gucci Horsebit 1955, the Jackie 1961 and the Gucci Diana. They are some of the most iconic handbags from the Italian house’s archives, artfully and sensitively reworked by Creative Director Alessandro Michele, who’s been credited with reshaping the brand since taking the reins in 2015.

The Gucci Horsebit 1955 is a chic carry-all that harks back to the house’s rich equestrian heritage, rendered in fresh colours, shapes and sizes. Then there’s the Jackie 1961 – famed for its curved half-moon shape – that Jackie Kennedy gracefully tucked under her arm, revamped this year with clean lines and a second strap for added functionality. And the recently released bamboo handle tote, Diana, is reimagined by Michele with the addittion of removable, neon leather belts which hark back to the functional bands that once came with the original 1991 bag to maintain the shape of the handles. 

The release coincides with the house’s 100th birthday this year. And while the centennial celebrations might be sparkly and star-studded, this line is above all an ode to the essence of a luxury bag – a piece that’s been longed for, saved for and slung over the shoulder with pride and delight. And a piece that’s forever beloved.
