You can always count on Gucci to create handbags for those who love being the life of the party. Here to prove this point are two iconic styles decked out in silver lamé leather, both given an all-over metallic coat for a shimmery-shiny effect like no other.

The dynamic duo starts with the Jackie 1961 Lamé Mini Bag (SGD4060), measuring 19 cm across and 13 cm high, making it chic and compact all at once. Signature elements like the piston lock and ‘Jackie hobo’ silhouette remain prominent in this miniaturised format, only this time it comes in striking silver for maximum impact on the go.

This style is sold together with an additional chain strap that can be attached to the sides of the bag, making it slightly different from the original line of Jackie 1961 handbags launched in Fall-Winter 2020.

Some of you might argue that it’s an improved feature as well, giving it extra versatility in terms of styling choices. Should you prefer carrying it as-is, just slide the chain out and hold the bag via the short leather top handle.

Moving on to the Bamboo 1947 Mini Top Handle Bag (SGD3910), which sees another archival favourite in silver lamé leather contrasting with the iconic bamboo elements and gold-tone hardware.

The mini might sound pretty tiny at 17 cm by 12 cm, but the deep accordion-like interior is slightly expandable, in case you need more space to hold extra bits and bobs. Furthermore, Gucci has provided two straps (one thin leather and another thicker canvas material) that are interchangeable as well.

Comparing them side by side, the Jackie 1961 Lamé Mini Bag is more of a party favourite thanks to its petite grab-and-go size, while the Bamboo 1947 Mini Top Handle Bag is great for ladies who love to make a statement wherever they go. Just pick one or perhaps both iconic styles from Gucci and you’re all set to get your shine on.
