Gucci Marmont Bag Reference Guide 2024

Gucci Marmont bags have become a Gucci's staple in just a few years. Why is it so popular and what's the secret ingredient to the collection's success?

This design was inspired by an interlocking GG belt buckle used in the 1970s. As soon as Alessandro Michele became Gucci's creative director in 2015, he was obsessed with creating a collection that would be an homage to the Italian craftsmanship Gucci was always known for. He therefore took a part of the House's legacy and turned it into the key ornament in the new collection.

The GG Marmont collection was introduced in 2016. Made of signature soft matelassé leather, it includes totes, shoulder bags, camera bags, bucket bags, circular shapes and mini designs. Every silhouette features brass chain shoulder straps, chevron zigzag quilting and signature GG interlocking hardware, which became synonymous with the collection name.

How many bags are there in the Gucci Marmont collection?

It's impossible to tell the exact number as new versions emerge and displace the old ones all the time. For instance, a few years back a Marmont waist bag was all the rage, then suddenly it was discontinued. Same goes for many styles.

Currently, Gucci website lists about 20 GG Marmont silhouettes and sizes, depending on the region. Here's the list of most popular handbags:

• GG Marmont matelassé shoulder bag

Based on the purses' naming you might think that they're incredibly small. In fact, if you compare Gucci handbags with Chanel flap or Louis Vuitton, it'll turn out that every size should be upscaled further for at least one size.
