The history of the Gucci House is indeed worthy of the great Hollywood sagas: rich in twists and turns, colorful characters and of course, ultra-trendy fashion accessories! As with any American blockbuster, the success of family and handbags Gucci is based on a well-crafted storyline. Grab your popcorn, turn off the lights, we'll give you the pitch!

The decor


Italy in the 1920s: after various experiences in the world of luxury in Paris and London, Guccio Gucci opens its leather goods boutique in Florence. In his small workshop, we make leather bags, but also various articles intended for the equestrian world. The initials of Guccio Gucci would later be at the origin of the famous logo GG, while equestrian accessories will inspire the House's bit symbol, often used on the sacs Gucci the most iconic. Wealthy clients passing through Italy are seduced by these refined accessories and bags full of character.


Change of atmosphere with the arrival of the Second World War. Shortages set in in the country, and difficulties in finding leather push Guccio Gucci to work with new materials to create its handbags. This is how the bag was born Gucci Bamboo, with its surprising bamboo handle.

When the patriarch died in 1953, the four sons Gucci take up the torch. With them, the setting of the saga Gucci becomes more exotic: New York, Paris, Los Angeles and even London are among the cities in which luxury bags of the House take up residence.

From the floral pattern imagined for Grace Kelly to the collection of bags worn by Sophia Loren, feminine glamor is definitely one of the ingredients of the success of Gucci.

After climbing to the top, the House saw its image damaged by conflicts between brothers in the 1980s. Following numerous financial and family adventures, the roles were redistributed, and the main one went to Tom Ford: the American designer revitalized the collections and leaves its very recognizable “porn chic” imprint. THE Gucci handbags are no exception, and mix traditional codes like the supreme GG canvas with more daring attributes like bronze studs or chains.
