Collection: Pre Owned Gucci Bamboo Bags

Introduced in the 1940s, Gucci has released a variety of standout designs distinguished by its sculpted bamboo handle. Due to shortages of conventional materials as a result of material rationing during World War II, Gucci craftsmen had to be innovative and decided to use bamboo — which was still available and could be imported from Japan — to fashion burnished handles for their handbags. Gucci’s Bamboo handbags remain iconic and sought-after pieces.
