The versatile Jacky bag has taken on many guises since its debut by Gucci far back in 1961; renamed after its most famous fan, Jackie Kennedy, who carried several styles during her lifetime, the modern Jacky is an everyday modern offering that functions as either a shoulder bag, cross body bag or as an accessory case for organizing pencils, jewelery or make-up.
While modest in size, the Jacky holds all your essentials in the secure zippered main compartment as well as the external zippered pocket and the crescent-shaped bag has been reinterpreted by Gucci’s roster of creative directors over the decades as well as other brands.
The design has proved to be enduring in its appeal as it has continued to be relevant even as fashion evolves and has never gone out of trend.
Both the new and vintage iterations of the bag have continued to be fashion hits and continue to be an important fashion invention due to its multipurpose characteristics.
Though the Jackie boasts multiple iterations – many of which can be found second-hand on resale sites, the recognisable silhouette and hardware have stayed the same.
The bag hasn’t changed much since 1961, which is testament to its timeless design.
If you need a bag that can go anywhere no matter what the event is or the nature of the attire; the Jacky is your best bet.
