The Gucci Bamboo 1947 Is the Ultimate Modern Classic Handbag
The Gucci Bamboo 1947 handbag is one of the house’s most iconic designs, proven to never go out of style.
With the Gucci ‘Bamboo’ handbag as one of the house’s most instantly recognizable icons, this design has stood the test of time. It first appeared in 1947 just after World War II. With post-war supply shortages disrupting the leather goods market, Gucci took the opportunity to innovate by introducing a bamboo handle.

Because the bamboo handles are curved and crafted by hand, it means no two are alike. The unusual style quickly caught on and became a beloved status signifier the world over.
