Every luxury brand seems to be bringing back old favourites and trying to make them hip again. From the Dior Saddle to the Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag, designers are styling up new looks with blasts from the past. The Gucci Blondie is no exception, boasting the house’s past iconic logos. The oversized GG embellishment contributes to the controversial Logomania trend – is it luxe, or too in-your-face?
Alessandro Michele made the bold move to bring this bag back through his work at House of Gucci. He has delved deep into Gucci’s archives season after season to bring back treasured pieces from some of the brand’s most infamous seasons, changing the story behind them. The Gucci Blondie was considered the epitome of maximalist fashion at the time of its original release, during the 70s. It had a bold personality of its own, making a statement no matter what it was styled with.
