Some of us can indubitably do that by buying a Babouska bag and so turn the life of children in need.

The new "Jackie", a fresh and contemporary reinterpretation of the legendary Jackie Bag, is designed by Gucci Creativ Director Frida Giannini. First designed in the 1950s the bag became one of Jaqueline Onassis' favorite accessory and soon got tagged "The Jackie".

The new Jackie is still drawing from the predominant original: round corners and typical details are strongly influenced by "Jackies" original. The oversize organize as well as the highly soft leather refer to contemporary times, though. Violet, emerald green, bougainvillea red, snow white or original pastel colours: The New Jackie comes looks fresh and very up to date. Frida Gianninis trade mark, long leather frays with bamboo details, make a very unique bag.

Every detail plays its own important part: The dominant and large leather applications are handmade, a technique that has been taken over from saddle makers and is used exclusively in Florence.
