On South Korean star IU, the mini Gucci Jackie 1961 is an adorable preppy accessory, especially when she's carrying the hobo-style bag by its top handle, and has matched it with a blouse adorned by a cute Peter Pan collar.
On another day, the same bag takes on a casual vibe for an off-duty look — IU wears it slung across her body as she shows off a classic white shirt and jeans combo.
The Gucci Jackie 1961 comes in a multitude of colours and fabrications; and a particular irresistible yellow iteration looks particularly fabulous paired with the singer’s white tulle dress, while another version sporting the classic Gucci monogram canvas lends a ’90s vibe to her purple fuzzy sweater.
Impressed yet? There’s more and EXO member Kai demonstrates just how far that versatility extends as he slings the small version of the Gucci Jackie 1961 bag across his body, showing us how effortlessly it goes with his oversized white shirt, or his patterned sweater.
It can seem like the digital age today makes it easier for It bags to come into being but the truth is that the Gucci Jackie 1961 has always been a trendsetter.
The bag, first known as the Fifties Constance, made its debut in 1958. Reportedly the first hobo bag of its kind, its revolutionary crescentshaped silhouette defined the era’s free-spirited mind, as it was designed as a unisex bag.
