Iconic for more ways than one, this Gucci handbag was actually originally named the ‘Fifties Constance’! However, after the era’s most fabulous fashionista and former US First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy was photographed carrying one – it had to be changed to her nickname ‘Jackie’.
The Jackie handbag is simple, clean and timeless. Although, the style has been reissued and revamped numerous times by different Gucci creative directors including Tom Ford, Frida Giannini as well as Alessandro Michele.
The bamboo handle is one of Gucci’s signature elements, however, it’s origins is somewhat peculiar. During World War 2, countries suffered from a lack of resources – forcing many business owners and craftsmen to be creative with their products. Gucci quickly realised that they could import bamboo from Japan, heat it and bend it to create a beautiful masterpiece that we still know and love today. This feature adds warmth to any outfit and could last a lifetime.
What’s more, as soon as the bamboo handle bag was debuted in 1947, it was a success amongst celebrities and fashionistas like Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman, Princess Di and many more.
In Italian, ‘Guccissima’ literally translates to the ‘most Gucci’ – and it’s not hard to see why!
