Gucci has launched many fashionable handbags, but one of the styles that even Princess Diana loved is the classic Bamboo Bag. Since the brand introduced the Gucci Diana retro series last year, this year, creative director Alessandro Michele has taken the historically significant Bamboo bag as a prototype, combining a contemporary fashion perspective to introduce the new retro series Gucci Bamboo 1947, connecting the past, present, and future, adding another classic masterpiece to the iconic Gucci Beloved product family.
In 1947, during a time of traditional raw material shortages in post-war Italy, a group of skilled craftsmen in Florence assisted brand founder Guccio Gucci in using lightweight and durable bamboo handles for handbags. This instantly popular classic design was born. For decades after the release of the Bamboo handbag, it has been beloved by Hollywood fashion icons and elite socialites. Now, with the launch of Bamboo 1947, its fashion charm is once again embraced by fashionistas. Celebrities like IU from Korea, Molly from Taiwan, Jolin Tsai, and Ayaka Miyoshi from Japan have all already tried it out, sparking a trend.
The Gucci Bamboo 1947 inherits the exquisite craftsmanship of the original bag. The bamboo used to make the top handle and closure clasp is carefully selected according to Gucci’s design specifications, and undergoes meticulous hand polishing, shaping, and surface finishing.
The new bamboo handle handbag is equipped with interchangeable leather and Web stripe shoulder straps, injecting a fashionable touch into the elegant style, available in various sizes and vibrant colors.
