Gucci Visions: Special exhibit in Bangkok highlights the Italian brand’s 103-year history and its icons
Of the many classic bags the Roman fashion company has produced, the Gucci Bamboo 1947 handbag is among the most recognized.
The wood control was inspired by Vasco Gucci, Guccio Gucci’s second son, and his passion for walking pieces.
A shortage of raw materials, especially buckskin and steel, were the focus of Gucci’s efforts to change them in the post-World War II decades in the 1940s.
The classic handbag can be found in this room alongside archival and contemporary-style models, as well as displays demonstrating how fast it quickly gained popularity among celebrities and the care that goes into its production.
Fun truth: Did you know that bamboo bag handles have a curved shape and a polished finish made of fire? Each control did have a slightly different colors and shape because of this method, which makes each one unique.
