Notes:

From one of Gucci’s most important collections, Fall 1996 took Gucci to a whole new plane of prominence, with Vogue proclaiming the collection to be the “fashion equivalent of a one-night stand at Studio 54.”

Designed by the legendary Tom Ford, the collection consists of very simple militaristic garments with prominent epaulettes motifs, the collection was one of the finest to come out of the minimalist movement of the 90s

The particular bag was modelled by Georgina Grenville as look #14 in a black colourway

Ford found inspiration in the legendary Elsa Peretti, founder of Tiffany & Co., to which inspired the gold emblem as a redesign of the maison's Horsebit motif into a striking statement ornament, I would add that the zipper ornament is also inspired by her, turning the bamboo from the 1947 bag into a little gold detail
