Gucci has successfully brought back a number of their bags from the archives, and the Diana bag is their most recent revival. Launched in 1991, the Diana bamboo handle tote bag was a real hit with the fashion scene. The late Princess Diana contributed to the success of the bag by pairing multiple versions of it with everything from her jeans and blazers, sport shorts to summer dresses.
Creative Director Alessandro Michele has a way of subtly redesigning classic items into a version that feels relevant to the times, and the Diana bag definitely maintains that notion. Released in early July, the bag is already turning heads and being carried by the new generation of style icons including Jodie Turner-Smith, Sienna Miller and Elle Fanning,
The most noticeable feature of the Diana bag is the bamboo handles which are further accentuated by two removable neon bands. Used to maintain the shape of the handles and keep them in place, they also add a fun and playful element to the bag. They are available in neon pink, yellow and orange and can be purchased separately. The bands are also customisable and can be engraved with characters of your choice.
The Diana bag is not too heavy and can definitely take you from day to night by carrying all your essentials and more. The inside of the bag is made up of an open pocket with two zip compartments and it also comes with a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap for comfortable carry.
