Origin
From a product code to a first lady
Gucci introduced the bag in 1961 as the G1244. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was photographed with it so often that the house simply started calling it the Jackie.

Jackie 1961
Catalogued June 2026
The Gucci Jackie 1961 is a reissue introduced by Alessandro Michele in 2020 of the house's hobo-shaped shoulder bag from the 1950s and 60s, nicknamed for Jacqueline Kennedy, who was often photographed carrying it. It has a soft crescent body that tucks under the arm and its signature piston closure, a sliding metal hook clasp, on the front. It comes in smooth leather and GG Supreme canvas across several sizes. The 1961 in the name marks the archival year the reissue references.

The Story
First called the G1244, until Jackie Kennedy bought six and was rarely photographed without one.
Design
A relaxed half-moon
The Jackie is a half-moon hobo shape with a piston-shaped closure, looser and softer than the structured bags of its day. Jackie reportedly used its wide base to shield her face from the paparazzi.
