Which Gucci Jackie Bag Are You?

Colour might seem risky when investing in a forever bag – but don’t be intimidated. The Light Blue iteration of Gucci’s Jackie has enough subtlety of shade to be versatile (think of it like mid-wash denim) while still having a point of difference.

Use a pop of powder blue to act as an instant refresh for your jeans and white shirt/T-shirt rotation. It will also sit beautifully with beige and brown, as well as providing a chic contrast for rich reds and burgundy.

Ease of wear is critical when making a big investment. Every Jackie 1961 comes with the original leather strap, as well as an additional longer, shoulder strap. Wear it over the shoulder of blazers for the office, then style it cross-body over your trench coat at the weekend.

Classic black will never be regretted – and it looks especially elegant adorned with Gucci’s gold-tone hardware. Think about opting for a natural grain leather that gives texture to your bag and is more durable than a high-polish or patent finish, which can easily scratch.

For those who already have a beloved black bag, the Jackie in Dark Brown is your go-to. The rich chocolate hue pairs effortlessly with other autumnal shades – think beige, red, or orange. It will also add depth to whites and creams as we move between seasons.

A combination of the medium size and structured shape makes the Jackie perfect for everyday wear. While the silhouette sits sleekly over tailoring, T-shirts and dresses, it offers just enough space for carrying a considered selection of essentials – think keys, phone, card, a notebook and lip balm.
