Under creative director Frida Giannini, Gucci has made productive use of its own archive. This bag is an updated version of the company’s 1960s ‘Jackie’ bag, made famous by its namesake, Jacqueline Kennedy. The bag quotes the curved shape of the original and Gucci’s signature bamboo, but has now become fashionably oversized with prominent stitching.
