Vintage Jean Paul Gaultier Tape Measure Print Tote Early 2000s Cream

Printed tape measure bands in red, blue and black wrap around cream coated canvas, abstracted in a way only Jean Paul Gaultier could devise. The generous silhouette is anchored by black leather shoulder straps and finished with smooth silver-tone hardware, the whole construction built for both handheld and over-shoulder carry. No exterior logo or label interrupts the graphic flow; the interior is lined in black fabric and fitted with a zipped pocket and three slip compartments.

The coated canvas surface holds its shape, with minor edge wear visible on close inspection. Hardware remains bright, straps strong at the joins. No accessories or serial are present.

This tote reflects the early 2000s Gaultier mainline era, where wit and utilitarian motifs collided—here, the tape measure print recalls the visual language Gaultier made his own across ready-to-wear and accessories. Made in France during the period when the enfant terrible’s designs blended everyday references with precision construction.
