Jackie 1961 is part of Gucci Beloved’s cast. She channels a fascinating neo-nostalgia wearing GG canvas in a new revived colourway. The blue-and-beige version dates back to the 1970s. It was retrieved from the archives. The colour combination is matched by silver-toned hardware, and a blue-red/blue web on detachable shoulder belt.
Celine
Hedi Slimane’s first creation for Celine, the 16, is one of two models chosen to spearhead the exclusive Haute Maroquinerie collection that celebrates the maison’s master craftsmanship in crocodile leather – namely the rare Crocodylus Niloticus or Nile Crocodile. Celine has a certified supplier and a tannery. Celine also uses centuries-old techniques to preserve the colour and shine of the skins as well as the natural relief from the scales. An artisan builds the bag from a single piece of leather. This takes about 17 hours. The jewellery-like hardware in white or yellow gold can be elevated with diamonds, either in pavé or solitaire settings.
Givenchy
The Antigona, a Givenchy signature for 12 years, has inspired many styles. Now, it fronts the range of bags reintroducing creative director Matthew M. Williams’ 4G monogram, cast in embroidered raffia. Summery updates elevate the luxe quotient with natural fibres and earthy beiges, leather details and gold-finish metal hardware.
Hermès
One of the oldest designs in Hermès’ stable of bags, the Bolide gets a surprise twist. The Bolide’s base is made from layers of leather and an aluminum plate. It looks like a skateboard. The Bolide’s four base studs are also redesigned to look like skateboard wheels. This playful interpretation is available in two versions: a messenger bag with an adjustable, removable strap or a duffel that can be used as a travel bag with a fun handle. “Fingerskate” charm.
