Gucci Bamboo Top-Handle Club: 1947 'till now
- Thread starter papertiger
- Start date
it's quite recent. IMO, the bags made from this leather (there was a Dionysus too and one more) are some of the nicest variationsScored this beautiful vintage pigskin medium Gucci bamboo! Any advice on how to clean and condition pigskin?
Red leather Nymphaea - bought it years ago and have only used it once. I loved that the logo was subtle and at the time, I really wanted something red!
This is the Etsy shop's photo of my vintage 90's brown suede bamboo handle bag. I received it two weeks ago and will start carrying it this fall.
I've recently become a bit obsessed with the latest ad campaign for the Bamboo 1947 bag with Liu Wen - the focus being on the woman and her personality and the timeless quality/beauty of the bag - I love it. 
So beautiful in ostrich with a suede interior... 
A beautiful new article in Vogue Italia - definitely take a look!

Your beautiful BTHs are influencing me to purchase a pre-loved vintage in black. I’ve narrowed it down to two, both are in good condition with red interiors. Is there a difference or preference between the two? I imagine no two would be alike given the nature of materials!

Depends on the inside(s) and prices too.
Difficult to tell what the leathers are, especially from distance and small shots, but R looks like polished calf. I don't like old patent and we don't know ages. The Bamboo on the R has slightly bowed, not a problem since it shouldn't move more but still - aesthetics.
No two would be alike unless they were from the same season. Correct.
Congratulations, it's absolute beautiful, and wish I'd bought a new red 2011 Med (27cm) when I got a chance.
