Design inspiration

Gucci launched the first Bamboo Shopping Bag in 1991. It features a classic bamboo handle with a square tote shape and a suede body. Princess Diana loved this bag so much that she not only brought it with her when she visited Rome, but also paired it with sportswear, formal wear, dresses and other styles in public, which shows how practical and versatile this bag is.

Even 30 years later, the old bamboo bag is still full of charm. The new Diana handbag is a contemporary upgrade based on the classic bamboo bag. The functional buckle used to fix the bamboo handle is given neon color , and the golden double G logo is added to the front of the bag as an embellishment. It is available in three sizes: mini, small and medium , which can not only fit the elegant taste, but also adapt to the new fashion scene.

· Bamboo handle·

The bamboo handle is the most classical element of this bag. It was first created in 1947 and is a pioneering design of Gucci . At that time, it was not long after the end of World War II. European countries were still implementing resource rationing, and the raw materials for making bags were very limited.

Gucci craftsmen imported bamboo rattan from Japan and developed a unique process of heating and bending bamboo joints, and applied for a patent for it. When making bamboo handles, the bamboo must first be bent and shaped by heating with fire, then colored with natural beeswax and varnish, and then baked again to give it a natural scorch mark.

In addition to the bamboo handles, each Diana handbag is equipped with a detachable and adjustable leather shoulder strap , which can be carried on the shoulder or crossbody, freeing your hands for fun.

· Fluorescent buckle & Double G logo·

The fluorescent buckle and the golden double G logo are the most contemporary design elements on this bag. The first version of the double G logo was born in the 1970s and comes from the initials of the brand founder Guccio Gucci. Creative director Alessandro Michele changed the original symmetrical double G to open in the same direction, symbolizing the trend of the times.

The bamboo handles on both sides are decorated with a neon leather buckle strap, which is inspired by the functional protective straps used to maintain the shape of the handles during the bag making process .

The buckle is detachable and replaceable , with a gold-stamped GUCCI logo on the outside and a personalized service on the inside , which can be embossed with letters or star logos, giving the bag owner a sense of exclusivity. Customers who purchase the Guuci Diana Bamboo Handbag can purchase a fluorescent buckle in three colors: fluorescent yellow, fluorescent pink and fluorescent orange .

· Mini size ·

Gucci Diana bamboo handbags are available in three sizes: mini, small and medium. Each comes with a detachable shoulder strap. We focus on the smallest mini size (20x16x10cm) , which is much cuter and more playful than the original bamboo bag, and is also more friendly to petite girls.
The bag is made of pure white calfskin , with black oiled edges that emphasize the contours. The spliced edges make the bag three-dimensional and stylish, forming a contrast between round and square, ancient and modern with the arched bamboo handles.

The lining of the bag is made of beige suede microfiber material, which is soft and scratch-resistant. The 5 metal feet on the bottom of the bag provide stability and protection.

What can this bag hold?

Tote bags are the most practical bags of the same size. Even the mini size can meet the daily travel needs of girls. The bag adopts a single-layer large compartment design to optimize the capacity and can store relatively heavy wallets, sunglasses and other items. We put an iPhone X, wallet, headphones, lipstick, tissues, perfume and keys in the bag. In summer, a lighter parasol can also be put in it.
