Princess Diana’s Beloved Gucci Tote is Back
After the astonishing success of the Jackie bag, Gucci brings back yet another icon from the archives. That’s right – Princess Diana’s favorite bamboo handle tote is back and this time around, it’s more fabulous than ever!
By looking at the Princess Diana’s street style photos from the 90s, it’s impossible not to notice the beautiful bamboo-handled tote she was often carrying around. Whether it was a shopping trip or a gym session, the bag was her loyal companion.
Thanks to Gucci’s Alessandro Michele and his ability to adapt heritage pieces to modern times, Princess Diana’s favorite bamboo tote is back and this time around, it’s named accordingly, “Diana”.
Gucci Diana Bag Design
The Gucci Diana Bag has all the features of the original bamboo tote from 1991, but not without a few modern updates. The current iteration of the bag is distinguished by removable, neon leather belts – a nod to the bands that used to come with the original bamboo tote to maintain the shape of the handles. In addition, letter and star symbols can be embossed on the inside of the belts, adding a personalized touch to the iconic style.
On the interior, the Gucci Diana Bag features a zip pocket in the center separating the bag into two sections. There is a spacious open area with a zip pocket on the front, as well as, an open area with an open pocket on the back. Don’t be put off by the open nature of the compartments! The Gucci Diana comes with a magnetic closure which will keep your belongings safe and secure at all times.
