Named after the iconic first lady of fashion, Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, perennial favourite Gucci Jackie bag  is brought back by the Italian leather house in new sizes and strap lengths, ready for its next lease of life in the millennial age.

With its chic design, Gucci’s Jackie bag is lauded as the first hobo shaped bag that launched a thousand imitators since its first inception.

Over the years, it remained a mainstay with the fashion house and was redesigned a few times. This year, Creative Director Alessandor Michele designed the latest reincarnation and named it Jackie 1961.

Here are some things to know about it.
