You know how some stuff just kinda fades into the background? Not the Jackie. This thing is a *classic*. We’re talking, uh, designed in the 50s? Yeah, a long, long time ago. But it’s totally having a moment again, probably ’cause it’s just so effortlessly…cool.
I saw something (I think it was on Gucci’s actual website, lol) about the Spring Summer 2024 collection. They’re using, like, *premium* fine leather. Seriously, who doesn’t love a good leather bag, amiright? I mean, I’m not a leather expert or anything, but you can just *tell* when it’s the good stuff. And the shape? That crescent thing? So chic. And sleek. I’m a sucker for sleek.
Speaking of chic, I saw this two-tone Jackie somewhere (maybe the Spanish Gucci site? “Página Oficial GUCCI® ES” that’s what it said). Leather *and* fabric? Okay, Gucci, I see you. It’s got, like, a single adjustable strap. Which is essential, btw. I hate bags with straps that are too short. Total pet peeve.
Okay, so here’s where my brain gets a little messy. I *think* Paris Bolsas (which, okay, sounds kinda fancy) is selling Jackie bags, too. And they’re claiming they’ve got the best prices. I’m a little skeptical. “Best price” is a pretty big claim. But hey, worth checking out, maybe?
And then there’s NET-A-PORTER. They’ve got the Jackie *collection*. Which probably means they’re charging an arm and a leg. But, like, NET-A-PORTER is NET-A-PORTER. You pay for the name, right?
So, where am I going with this?
