The history of the bamboo handle is one of the most emblematic chapters of the house. Introduced in 1947, the bamboo handle was born as a creative solution to the shortage of materials after World War II.
Gucci's close relationship with Japan is not limited to its presence there through stores, but for 50 years the Japanese country has been one of its main export points for certain materials, such as bamboo, which in our bag has been used for the handle and closure.
