MORE INFO:
The Gucci Bamboo came to fruition in 1947, in post-war Italy. Designer Guccio Gucci and his team of Florentine artisans responded to the not-so-small problem of a leather shortage by equipping their latest bag with a distinctive handle crafted from bamboo – an incredibly durable and lightweight material that could be easily imported from Japan. Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say.
Although its materiality was borne out of austerity, the bag was otherwise anything but and its defining features (that bamboo top handle) was painstakingly hand-manipulated, lacquered and toasted to glossy perfection. In fact, Gucci patented this method and to this day, all of the brand’s bamboo handles are made this way, by expert artisans.
Gucci’s bamboo top handle bags have been iconic since day one and long carried and beloved by major fashion influencers like Princess Diana.
