The "Jackie Bag," famously favored by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the 1960s, is reimagined. Gucci's Creative Director, Frida Giannini, has infused this ultimate icon of jet-setters with a modern interpretation, reviving it as a contemporary handbag. The new "Jackie Soft" bag is characterized by its luxurious design, crafted from supple, single-piece leather. It offers exceptional softness and lightness, making it easy to carry and versatile for various occasions. The design features the signature metal piston closure, mirroring the original created in the 1950s.
The collection includes five styles: a hobo bag, tote bag, shoulder bag, clutch bag, and briefcase. Materials range from natural Grand Prix leather with a suede finish to python, crocodile, and leopard-print haircalf. The color palette offers a rich variety, from sophisticated classic hues to fresh, vibrant tones.
This limited-time store will feature an early release of the Autumn/Winter collection, alongside the "Jackie Soft." Furthermore, the tote and shoulder bag versions of the "Jackie Soft" will be available in exclusive Isetan Shinjuku Store colors: burgundy, green, and beige pink.
At the venue, visitors can enjoy fortune-telling aligned with the latest collection's colors and download exclusive wallpapers for their smartphones. Pre-orders for the "Jackie Soft" will begin on the online shop starting Friday, July 18th.
