Gucci Has Reinvented One of Princess Diana’s Favorite Handbags
After the roaring success of its reborn Jackie bag, Gucci is bringing back another beloved accessory from the brand’s archive. Princess Diana’s favorite bamboo handle tote has been reimagined by Alessandro Michele some 20 years after the original caught the royal’s eye.
Behold, the Gucci Diana bag.
Synonymous with Lady Di’s style in the early ’90s, when the paparazzi fawned over her leaving Chelsea’s Harbour Gym wearing collegiate sweaters and cycling shorts, the capacious holdall came to evoke her personal freedom. As she distanced herself from the royal family, Diana became bolder with her fashion choices, though, as her stylist Anna Harvey once said, she always dispensed with the formality around royal dress codes.
