About the Bamboo 1947 Small
Created in 1947 in post-war Florence when leather and metal were scarce, Gucci's founder sourced heat-bent Japanese bamboo to craft a distinctive turn-lock handle — one of the house's oldest signatures, relaunched in 2022 as part of the Aria collection.
What affects this bag's resale value
