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 really like the canvas, black and the lilac in that order. The canvas is so close to what I already have so I don't know. The additional strap is such a great option. Initially I thought they were just different versions and come to find out the strap is included is such a nice surprise!

I bought one in I think 2002. It was not that expensive back then. Either gbp 350/450. At the same time a Birkin was around GBP 2000. I threw mine out about ten years ago when we moved as it was soft beige patent and the leather started to slightly separate. Am kicking myself now.... It was a lovely bag but better for summer as it got a bit tiresome squidged over puffy coats. Def more practical than the Fendi croissant or Louis Vuitton denim which came out at the same time. Never used them, sold them both fairly quickly which shows that Classic is much better value for money in that it really went with a lot more outfits. Feeling nostalgic now....

I’m really liking the white one, will probably buy it in a couple of months - need to think about it for a bit :amuse:

The bright neutral :tup: good choice.

If I was thinking about one (STOP ME!!!) I am surprisingly drawn to the red - like moth to a flame :loveeyes: .

I shouldn't though, I had a small Jackie in 2005 (canvas) and I ended-up giving it to my niece. I love this version has the original convertible strap (mine did not) it just makes it so much more versatile.

Ohhh, the red is actually my second choice! I really am tempted but I need to buy another bag on my wishlist first - otherwise I will regret it because I have put if off several times now lol!!!

It is very convenient with the long strap although I would carry it with the short/handheld strap on the shoulder...
