The history of this Gucci Jackie 1961 bag
Originally launched in 1961 under a different name, this half-moon-shaped design quickly became a hit. It gained prominence during the 1970s thanks to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The First Lady of the United States adopted this design for her regular outings, sometimes using it to shield herself from photographers’ flashes. In response to this spontaneous endorsement, the Italian fashion house decided to rename the line in her honour. The Jackie thus became a benchmark of functional design.

This Mini-sized model combines matt GG Supreme canvas with smooth brown leather trim. This combination ensures the hobo shape is maintained whilst protecting the edges. The centre of the bag is structured by the woven Web strip featuring green, red and green stripes. The fastening mechanism features a polished gold-tone metal piston clasp, the collection’s visual signature. An additional leather strap complements the main handle, offering the option to wear it across the body.
