Description
Design History:
Gucci, the emblematic house founded in Florence in 1921, saw its GG logo – the initials of Guccio Gucci – become a leather goods icon in the 1960s. The GG canvas was revived in the 1990s and 2000s with the rise of functional, instantly recognizable monogrammed fabric bags. This shoulder bag, with its practical, structured design, reflects Gucci’s sober yet distinctive aesthetic in this period of transition to more accessible, urban luxury.
Exterior Details:
The beige canvas is densely woven with the GG motif in black, providing a clean, graphic contrast. Black leather trims emphasize the bag’s shape and reinforce the corners. The shoulder strap is in thick black webbing with leather fastenings and patinated gold metal buckles. On the front, a large zipped pocket provides additional functionality, adorned with a rectangular metal plate signed Gucci. Dimensions are ideal for everyday use: 30 cm wide, 22 cm high and 6 cm deep.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with black herringbone canvas, with a zipped pocket on the side. The serial number embossed on a leather label inside confirms the piece’s authenticity (001-4003, 1295). The spacious main compartment is designed to hold everyday essentials.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good condition overall. There are a few wear marks on the bottom corners and a slight patina on the leather elements, but no major snags or tears. The monogram canvas is well preserved, the seams are solid and the zipper works perfectly. The interior is clean, with no noticeable stains.
Care instructions:
To care for GG canvas, use a soft brush or slightly damp cloth. Leather can occasionally be nourished with a suitable care product. Avoid prolonged contact with water or abrasive surfaces. The bag should be stored in a fabric cover away from direct light.
