Babouska Boston Crystal Monogram canvas handbag.

In its early years, Gucci specialized in the production of suitcases, trunks, bags, and leather goods crafted with great artisanal care. During the 1930s, due to material shortages caused by economic restrictions, the brand experimented with new materials such as canvas and bamboo. This innovation led to the famous Bamboo Bag, still one of the maison's most iconic models today.

In the post-war period, Gucci began a rapid international expansion, opening boutiques in New York, London, Paris, and other major cities around the world. In the 1950s and 60s, the brand became synonymous with Italian elegance and was admired by numerous celebrities, artists, and members of the nobility. During this period, distinctive symbols such as the horsebit and the green-red-green web, inspired by equestrian straps, were born.

In the 1990s, after a period of difficulty, Gucci was relaunched thanks to the creative direction of Tom Ford, who introduced a modern, sensual, and sophisticated style, bringing the brand back to the heights of international fashion. Subsequently, other creative directors, including Frida Giannini, Alessandro Michele, and Sabato De Sarno, have reinterpreted the maison's identity with different approaches, maintaining its prestige.
