First Things First: The Dust Bag

The first difference you might notice is the dust bag. The 2024 version comes in a new Ancora red nylon material, which is a bit of a switch from the classic canvas with the Gucci print. The red is definitely eye-catching, but some might find the nylon a tad less luxurious than the previous design.

Design and Hardware

Overall, the bags themselves look quite similar. They're both the same small size and have the same basic shape. There are a few tweaks in the hardware, though. The biggest change is the clasp closure on the 2024 Jackie, which replaces the older piston lock. Some might find the new clasp a bit less fancy, and it is silver instead of the warmer gold tone of the 2020 version.

Leather and Lining

The feel of the leather is different between the two versions as well. The 2020 Jackie has a shinier, more structured leather, while the 2024 version is softer with a matte finish. The lining has also been revamped. The 2020 Jackie has a nude suede lining, whereas the 2024 version boasts a bold Ancora red leather lining.

Strap Showdown

Finally, the strap has been changed from leather in the 2020 version to a canvas material in 2024. Thankfully, the overall design remains consistent, with the buckle on one end and a leather section on the other.

So, which Jackie is the winner?

It really depends on your taste! Let me know in the comments below which Jackie you prefer, the 2024 or the 2020 version.
