It completely changed the perspective on materials when introduced as a bag handle in 1947, and ever since then, the plant became a staple synonymous with the Italian label. Today, pieces like this bifold wallet – complete with the Double G logo – feature bamboo pieces as a nod to the House’s archives and its impact in the fashion sphere.
