Dates and types of Jackies and Bouviers (most of this is quoting myself from the Gucci Information Thread)

Approx. Jackie/Bouvier Time line

late 1958 - Bouvier first made

early 1961 - Jackie (like the Bouvier but with a wider gusset and piston lock) first made

1970s both variations available

late-90s mini Jackies (not as small as 2020's mini)

mid-00s Bouviers and Jackies available, Bouviers in some incredibly detailed embellishments on Ltd. Ed. variations

Late-00s (2008?) New Jackie launched (the very large size scaled down in 2010)

2011 original jackie re-launched with extra length in shoulder strap

2014 - Jackie Soft launched

2020 - Jackie 1961 (re)launched, including a mini version

I saw the Jackie bag in all three sizes last night. The mini is MIN-NI! Super small. Adorable. The Small size is awesome and the Medium size is amazing as well. I'm somewhat torn between the Small and Medium - though I'll probably go Small. I also really love the canvas version and Gucci canvas doesn't always do it for me. If you haven't seen the Jackie IRL, I highly recommend it. Personally I like the leather. I like the sheen and structure.

Lucky you! My store will not receive any until the end of September. I think I am doing the small and will probably go ahead and just order it online.

What do you guys think about the medium? It looks very useful — but does it also look a little matronly?

The Medium is a classic. I think the matronly feel is really down to the model's size and the styling. That said, of the three, the Small seems to be the most versatile, whereas the Medium, while useful in size, can be limited in terms of styling choices.

Very thoughtful reply; thanks. For those who have the “small” - is it large enough for daily essentials like wallet (small), phone, keys, mask, AirPods, hand sanitizer, and sunglasses? That’s basically all I carry when I’m running out, which is what I think I would use this bag for. Even the medium is not large enough to serve as a work bag. But the new Hermes trim is *really* small - it barely fits the essentials without spilling over.

I had a small Jackie before. I gave it to my niece as I found it too small for me. But that was a shoulder bag only with no way to make it a cross-body.

I wear a crossbody every day now, as an extra bag. In that capacity the Small would be fine. The strap makes a huge difference.

I saw all three sizes in person on Monday and I agree that generally the small is the most versatile and classic size. I can see where some may prefer the larger Medium - but Small will definitely be a staple in anyone's collection. The mini is a novelty/trendy size, IMO. It's only practical on limited occasions and doesn't seem even remotely practical for my over 50yo self. I have plenty of mini bags - but the Jackie is next-level mini, IMO. (But adorable none-the-less. I see the appeal, but not for me)

Agree with this. My small arrived and I think it is perfect. Holds everything I need and it’s very lightweight. I could see adding a medium in one of the fall colors down the line - but there is something very nice about a lightweight crossbody.
