The 1969 bag story

Made up of experimental materials and assembled by hand, the metallic 1969 bag symbolises the innovative elegance of Rabanne. Fifty years after its creation, the bag is still an iconic must-have that remains boldly modern today.

Composed of 367 pastilles,

the classic 1969 bag is entirely assembled by hand.
