The Gucci Jackie 1961

Created in 1961, the iconic Jackie bag was back on the Gucci Autumn/Winter 2020 runway, proving its timeless quality and ability to remain as current as any other it bag. This elegant hobo bag was emblematic of the jet-set lifestyle of the 1960s and 1970s and was worn so often by Jackie Kennedy that it naturally was named after her. With the characteristic gold clasp and elegant curved shape, it is a symbol of refinement and understated chic. Over the years, the bag has been numerously redesigned and is back under Alessandro Michele’s direction. It is smaller and can be worn either by women or men in an effort of complete inclusivity. No longer only synonymous with a certain upper-class lifestyle, the Jackie 1961 is meant to be worn with clashing looks – punk, grunge or preppy.

The Alexander McQueen Story Book.

The Story Book is the brand new addition to the Alexander McQueen accessories, which graces the house’s Autumn/Winter 2020 runway. Quite reminiscent of a book, it has a compact and structured silhouette with double oversized metallic handles inspired by jewelry. You’ll be able to hold your bag like you would carry your favorite book, in a very nonchalant manner. But you also have the possibility of wearing it over the shoulder or crossbody via a leather-and-chain strap. Quite roomy, the bag can hold all the daily essentials and is available in black, Welsh red, lavender and black with a silver heart motif.

The Fendi Frenesia Pink Nano Baguette.

It was at Design Miami 2019 that Fendi met with the independent master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. From the fusion of their two worlds was born a whole new concept: the wild gamble of creating the first olfactory bag. That’s how the Fendi Frenesia Yellow, a variation on the famous Baguette bag, first came about in 2019. The brand has now designed a new line for the fall season, based this time on the color pink and its connotations within our collective imagination. The Fendi Frenesia Pink is accompanied by a floral eau de parfum, which can either be worn directly on the skin or sprayed on a small card that is then slipped into the bag. Every model in the line – the Baguette, Nano Baguette and card holder – are made from Selleria Cuoio Romano leather, a key element in Francis Kurkdjian’s design.

The Louis Vuitton Dauphine MM Bag in jacquard « Since 1854 » textile

The Monogram is obviously at the heart of the Louis Vuitton house and creative director Nicolas Ghesquière is contributing to its evolution by creating a precious jacquard featuring 1854, the year the house was created. A poetic homage, a subtle reference. This revisited canvas has the softness of old memories, such as that moment when Georges Vuitton, to pay tribute to his father, drew the Monogram by creating a neo-gothic coat of arms which is notably inspired by interior decoration of their original fiefdom of Asnières. Today, as seen on the Dauphine MM bag, it is the 8, which becomes a petal. This new Monogram also appears on a small capsule of clothes to match your accessories!
