The hobo bag
The ascendant bag is a hobo, like the reissued Jackie from Gucci, adapted from the one named for Jackie Kennedy. Neither too big nor too small, it’s the ideal solution for our newly flexed working situations – comfortable enough to sling across the body for that walk to the office or mooch about the park at weekends, and sleek enough for dinner. The Jackie bag was originally called the Constance when it launched in 1961. Jackie wore it so much during the 1970s, Gucci renamed it. That’s what we call classic style.
