Bambus

Born of post-war material shortages in 1947, the Gucci Bamboo bag turned necessity into icon with its heat-bent, glossy bamboo handle, one of the house's earliest and most enduring signatures. The organic warmth of the bamboo against structured leather remains instantly recognizable today. As a natural material, the handle should be checked for cracks or splits, as it is the defining and most vulnerable element of these bags.
