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

Lovely looking bag, very like a Hermes Trim, is it not? Which I have been failing to get hold of, this one might well fit the bill instead!

:yes:

Bouvier is more like the Trim i

Jackie is more like the Trim ii

Jackie Bouvier/Kennedy/Onassis carried both Gucci and Hermes

No coincidence Hermes is bringing back the Trim as Gucci is reissuing the Jackie

BTW, I didn't gift the Jackie because I didn't dislike the bag in anyway (apart from issues with the fabric) I really liked it, but I feel much happier with the shape and size of the Bouvier.

I'm noticing quite a few Bardots and Bouviers going up in price along with the Jackie. SO, if you want the AW collection vibe, please make sure YOU know one from another and don't get caught out. .

PT, it is quite difficult for me to tell the difference between the Jackie, Bardot, and Bouvier... curious if you can explain.

There are actually 2 bags named after Jackie/Bouvier/Kennedy/Onassis. At first glance they look similar but they are actually 2 different bag models.

1. The Bouvier, or G1097 was created in 1958 and is a flattish shoulder bag with a snap-hook lock closure

and

2. The Jackie, or G1244 created in 1961 with a wider leather base and a piston lock

There were other modifications to these basic models above featuring slightly different locks etc over the years.

Jackie Bouvier/Kennedy/Onassis carried both models of the bag in many variations

Many Hermes lovers confuse Jackie O's bags with the Hermes Trim (just discontinued). She may have owned Trims which look similar to the Jackie but she certainly carried her namesake bags that became part of her everyday chic style.



Tom Ford re-launched the Jackie in 1999 but there have also been Bouviers during mid-2000s.

Frida Giannini brought out the softer New Jackie with a detachable longer shoulder strap and tassels in 2009 in 2 sizes, the Large version is now a little smaller than the massive Large version of '09

The original version of the Jackie was launched again AW '11 with a single adjustable strap but only Med size
