After the resounding success of the Jackie bag, Gucci is bringing back another iconic piece from their archives - Princess Diana's treasured bamboo handle tote. And this time, it's more fabulous than ever!
When you look at Princess Diana's street style photos from the 90s, it's impossible not to notice the stunning bamboo-handled tote that was her constant companion. Whether she was running errands or hitting the gym, this bag was always by her side.
Thanks to Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele and his talent for reviving heritage pieces, Princess Diana's favorite tote is back, aptly named "Diana."
Gucci Diana Bag Design
The Gucci Diana Bag retains all the features of the original bamboo tote from 1991, but with a modern twist. The current version of the bag showcases removable neon leather belts - a tribute to the bands that used to come with the original tote to maintain the shape of the handles. Additionally, letter and star symbols can now be embossed on the inside of the belts, adding a personalized touch to this iconic style.

On the interior, the Gucci Diana Bag features a zip pocket in the center, effectively separating the bag into two sections. The front section offers a spacious open area with a zip pocket, while the back section provides an open area with an additional pocket. And don't worry about the open compartments; the Gucci Diana comes with a magnetic closure to keep your belongings safe and secure at all times.
Gucci Diana Bag Sizes
Reintroduced in three different sizes - mini, small, and medium - the Gucci Diana Bag comes in a variety of colors, ranging from classic black to pretty pastels. The mini version measures 20 cm in width and 16 cm in height, while the small and medium versions measure 27 x 24 cm and 35 x 30 cm respectively.
