An iconic statement from John Galliano’s early-2000s archive, this Gazette-print travel bag captures the designer’s witty, theatrical spirit and fascination with media culture. Printed in Galliano’s signature newspaper motif, this collectible piece is instantly recognizable and a true conversation starter.
Crafted from coated canvas trimmed in sleek black leather, the satchel silhouette offers both durability and impact. Perfect as a weekender or statement carry-on, it merges the drama of couture storytelling with the utility of a modern bag.
Designer: John Galliano
Collection Era: Early 2000s (Gazette Collection)
Material: Coated canvas with leather trim
Hardware: Silver-tone zip closure
Interior: Fabric lining with zip pocket
Features: Dual rolled handles, structured silhouette, full-zip top closure
Origin: Made in Italy
Includes Galliano ‘gazette’ printed clear drawstring bag
Excellent Vintage Condition — light surface wear consistent with age, some light surface wear on the top of the handles, original zipper pulls have been replaced.
Origin of the Print: John Galliano first introduced the iconic newspaper print in the Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2000 ready-to-wear collection. The collection itself was famously inspired by the "hobo chic" aesthetic and the concept of people sleeping on newspapers in Paris.
Continuation under his own label: Following the success and cultural impact of the print at Dior, Galliano incorporated the "Gazette" print into his own personal label, where this bag design originated.
Cultural Impact: The newspaper print was cemented in pop culture when the character Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) wore a matching newspaper-print dress in an episode of Sex and the City, shortly after the collection's debut. This exposure made the print a must-have item of the Y2K era.
