Jackie Gets a Makeover

Gucci released a bag in the 50s that the style icon, Jackie O, while in her reign at Camelot, assumed.

The bag has remained untouched in its style (I’m telling you, there is something simply marvelous about midcentury fashion) — until now.

What’s the difference? Well, the bag is bigger (why, I don’t know — women are getting bigger, or need more room to cram more possessions from a busy lifestyle?) - which I don’t find necessary. What I do love about the new style are the colors — coral, emerald, white, and violet options now complement the traditional leather tones.

The bag also sports tassles (hanging, dangling things from bags have really sprouted this season — more details on that later). The signature use of bamboo also appears on the tassels, rather than on the handles.

    Gorgeous! I love the shorter strap, perfect for under the shoulder or swinging by hand. Thank you for the history of the bag’s pedigree.
