In its early years, Gucci distinguished itself through the quality of its trunks, suitcases, and leather accessories. During the Second World War, material shortages prompted the company to experiment with new solutions, introducing bamboo as a material for bag handles. This led to the creation of the famous Bamboo Bag, destined to become one of the maison's most iconic creations.

In the 1950s and 1960s, under the guidance of Guccio Gucci's children, the brand expanded rapidly internationally with boutiques opening in New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo. During this period, distinctive symbols such as the green-red-green web, inspired by the equestrian world, and the Horsebit clasp were born, which remain protagonists of Gucci collections today. Celebrities such as Grace Kelly, Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor helped consolidate the brand's fame.

Subsequently, creative direction passed to Frida Giannini, Alessandro Michele, and Sabato De Sarno, each of whom interpreted the Gucci identity with a personal vision, while always keeping the brand's historical heritage alive. Today, Gucci is part of the Kering group and is present worldwide with collections of clothing, leather goods, footwear, accessories, jewelry, watches, and perfumes.
