The history of Gucci: the excellence of Italian luxury

Gucci was born in 1921 in Florence, founded by Guccio Gucci, who began with a workshop for high-quality leather goods. Inspired by aristocratic elegance and Tuscan craftsmanship, Guccio created iconic accessories that combine style and functionality.

In the 1950s, Gucci introduced the famous double “G” logo and distinctive details such as the green-red-green web, which evoke the equestrian world. Bags such as the Bamboo Bag became symbols of elegance and innovation, loved by stars like Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy.

After a period of crisis in the 1980s, Gucci experienced a rebirth under the leadership of Tom Ford in the 1990s, who transformed the brand into an icon of sensuality and modernity. Since 2015, with Alessandro Michele as creative director, Gucci has embraced an eclectic and romantic aesthetic, celebrating individuality and inclusivity.
