Gucci is bringing back its iconic Bamboo Bag for a brand new limited edition line.
The original Gucci Bamboo was released way back in 1947. The Japanese bamboo accented purse quickly became one of the world’s first It bags in the 1950s and 60s.
Taking its cues from this historical handbag, the new Bamboo combines Gucci’s traditions with modern innovation. Just as it was in 1947, the bag is crafted from pig skin. But today’s version is treated in a modern way to create brand new textures. There’s also a sporty neoprene option and an exotic python bag for bagistas who love luxury.
Whether you’re opting for snakeskin or not, the new Bamboo bags are not cheap. Prices range from €1, 300 to a whopping €13, 000. It’s hard to justify those sorts of price tags, but keep in mind that each handbag takes 13 hours to make. There are also just 140 available, so the cost also guarantees you real exclusivity.
