Gucci Jackie 1961 bag Review: Vintage, Shoulder Bag, (Notte) mini + Medium + Large, Price
The Gucci Jackie 1961 Bag is inspired by the iconic Gucci Jackie Bag from the 1950s. Originally, this bag was named ‘Fifties Constance’, but as it became more popular in the 1960s and 1970s, it was renamed the Gucci Jackie Bag. The Gucci 1961 Bag was launched in 2020 as part of the Fall Winter 2020 Collection. The unique feature of this bag is its vintage look and the piston closure. You might want to buy a brand-new bag, but some bag collectors prefer to hunt for the Gucci Jackie 1961 vintage bag version. It’s going to be second-hand, but at least you’ll have the original edition. I also wanted to add additional information about the difference between the Gucci Jackie Bag and the Gucci Jackie 1961 Bag. The Gucci Jackie 1961 Bag was specifically reissued in 2020. The name Jackie 1961 is to honor the year that Jacqueline Kennedy was first photographed with this bag. The Gucci Jackie Bag is the legacy edition.
Overview
The price of the Gucci Jackie 1961 Bag is $3,980
$4,100 USD. There are 3 sizes available; Jackie 1961 Medium, Large. But there is also the Gucci Jackie Notte Mini Bag, which is the smallest size. This bag can be worn crossbody or on the shoulder. The most popular colors are black, red and denim. Most people prefer the Gucci Jackie 1961 mini size. There are many variation and style, like the Gucci Jackie 1961 Mini Crystal GG Lizard Bag (top choice). And besides the “shoulder bag”, you can also find the Gucci Jackie 1961 Bag in belt bag and chain wallet styles.
The main differences between the Gucci Jackie Bag and the Gucci Jackie 1961 Bag:
Closure: Gucci Jackie Bag has the snap-hook closure. Gucci Jackie 1961 Bag has the piston closure
Shape: Gucci Jackie Bag has the original crescent hobo shape. The Gucci Jackie 1961 Bag has the structured screscent shape, which looks more similar to the 1960s original version
Material + colors: Guccie Jackie 1961 Bag has more vibrant colors and exotic leathers
Straps: The Gucci Jackie Bag has single strap (newer versions has detachable and adjustable options), Gucci Jackie 1961 Bag has adjustable leather shoulder strap + additional detachable web canvas strap for shoulder and crossbody carry. Thus has more carrying options
Pros:
The common praise I get about this bag is: ‘This is a Classic!’
Another praise: “totally classy FOREVER bag” and piece of Gucci’s history
This bag can match with almost any outfit
The lines are clean, the piston hardware looks very chic
It’s mde from high quality leather
The design is a subtle luxury, because its not covered with too much logos
Cons:
You can get things in and out very quickly, it’s not a wide-open tote
The structure is soft and it does not hold its shape
it does not stand up
If you use the short strap, it can slip off your shoulder. But this complaint is 50/50, some people have no issues
They say: “the piston closure is finicky” meaning not very useful/practical, you need to get used to it
The interior is not spacious
Not everyone is keen about the pistol clasp, because it’s a new invention, equiped on the Gucci Jackie 1961 Bag
