The origin of the Gucci Bamboo 1947 dates back to the post-World War II era when a leather shortage prompted Guccio Gucci, the founder of the House, to create a unique solution. In 1947, he utilized bamboo, a durable and abundant material imported from Japan, to craft the distinctive curved handle of the bag, featuring only four small loops.
This bag quickly became an emblem of Gucci’s craftsmanship and innovation, gaining popularity among celebrities and royalty. Notable fans of the bag include Princess Diana, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Harry Styles, Elle Fanning, and Jodie Turner-Smith.
Furthermore, the bag made appearances in several movies, such as ‘Le Amiche’ (1955), ‘Blow-Up’ (1966), and ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’ (1999).
