The Gucci
Marmont Bag
With the arrival of the new
season Gucci presents its new
iconic GG Marmont bag, an
exclusive Autumn/Winter 16
collection – classic, sophisticated
bags with a modern twist.
The GG Marmont is a design inspired
by a buckle that was used by Gucci in
the seventies. Its distinctive GG detail
is one of the House’s strongest and most
recognisable symbols. But though the
roots of this bag lie in the House archive,
the 21st-century version of the
GG Marmont is decidedly synonymous
with the aesthetic world of Creative
Director Alessandro Michele.
In this new version of the GG Marmont
the GG motif appears as the main ornament.
The new handbag is an evolution of the
original style, featuring softer construction.
The models of GG Marmont range from
shoulder bags in three sizes to tote bags
and camera cases. All come with brass
chain shoulder straps featuring a leather
detail. And all combine functionality
with femininity.
Materials used are calf leather, velvet and
crocodile. There is quilting on the smooth
calf leather styles – either in a chevron or
a cubic design, the latter with the addition
of studs. Chevron quilting is also a feature
on some of the velvet styles.
The colour palette includes a multitude
of hues: black, mystic white, hibiscus red,
pink intense, yellow, fuchsia, peacock and
dark emerald. There are also models using
a combination of colours, notably black
and mystic white.
Linings are in beige-coloured microfibre
for the leather models, beige nappa leather
for the crocodile models and peony-coloured
silk for the velvet models.
The metallic elements – notably the GG
motif itself – are in antiqued gold, and there
is a ‘quilted’ heart detail or GG design on the
backs of some of the chevron-quilted bags.
For the shoulder bags the closure is a pin
