Paco Rabanne The 1969 bag

In reality, a sunset lasts more minutes; glowing intensely right before sinking below the horizon. Within the world of Paco Rabanne, a sunset transcends temporality to a constant feeling, a sense of hedonism.

Discover the 1969, the timeless bag for an iconic summer.

This iconic bag bridges past and present through iconic design and artisanal technique.

Assembled by hand as a seamless surface of metal pastilles, the bag is the quintessential expression of Paco Rabanne—avant-garde when created fifty years ago and timelessly modern today.

Consisting of 367 pastilles for the original size and 120 for the mini format, the assembly continues to be by hand. As a signature product within the Paco Rabanne offering, it accompanies Julien Dossena’s runway collections and is available year-round in stores.

Fifty years on, the bag gives off a distinctive, familiar swish in sound and feel.
To some, it is considered a standout accessory; to others, a bag that doubles as jewelry; and to others still, a piece of design art worthy of display.
