Vintage Gucci apron in "Baiadera" canvas and suede, produced in the 1950s - 1960s.
A unique and inherently deeply fascinating item within the world of vintage Gucci - a gardening apron. But what makes this piece an absolute museum rarity is the iconic Baiadera canvas. Inspired by the flowing garments of Indian dancers, this motif became a joyful symbol of travel and leisure for the Maison during the 1950s and 1960s. Its rhythmic multi-colored stripes, characterized by shades of cardamom green, ocher yellow, turmeric orange, and nutmeg red, are legendary.
This historic pattern was usually used on mid-century luggage, travel items, and iconic bags such as the Bouvier or the Bamboo, but the Baiadera canvas applied to lifestyle and gardening objects is very rare.
An incredible piece of fashion history and of the Gucci Maison.
