The history of this Gucci Hobo bag
Gucci has its roots in Florentine craftsmanship and equestrian equipment. This Hobo model features the distinctive half-moon shape characteristic of this type of bag. Designed for on-the-go use, this shape meets the need for a flexible bag. The central Web strap takes its inspiration directly from the fabric strap used to secure a saddle to a horse’s back. The use of GG Crystal canvas adds a technical dimension to this 1950s silhouette. This special coating protects the fabric from the elements and gives it a glossy finish that reacts to light.
The structure, material and handle of this Gucci Hobo bag
The body of the bag is structured by GG Crystal canvas. This material combines the classic beige and ebony weave of the monogram with a transparent coating. The edges and stress points are reinforced with chocolate-brown matt grained leather panels. The wide, flat handle helps distribute the weight across the shoulder. It is attached to the main compartment by two polished brass D-rings. The front is divided by a green and red fabric ribbon. The gold-coloured metal medallion featuring the two intertwined Gs is fixed at the centre of this strip.
Why this Gucci bag
The second-hand market focuses on functional designs. The combination of the hobo style and coated canvas meets the criteria for everyday use. Unlike smooth leathers or untreated canvases, the Crystal finish is resistant to surface scratches and moisture. The presence of the tricolour Web stripe and the monogram anchors this model in the brand’s historic catalogue. This iconic piece from the leather goods range has a list price of 950 CHF. The brand’s current collections can be viewed on the website www.gucci.com/ch/fr for comparison.
