Gucci Eyewear 2010

The History

The House of Gucci, commonly known as Gucci is an iconic Italian fashion and leather goods label, which was founded in Florence in 1921 by Guccio Gucci. Less than 10 years later Gucci expanded and opened a boutique (like fellow brand Fendi) in Rome. In 1947 Gucci introduced the bamboo handle bag which is still sold by the company this day. Further down the line Gucci created it's striped webbing trade mark, inspired by a saddle girth, and suede moccasin with a metal bit.

The Guccio's had a large family who went on to run the business when Guccio Gucci passed away. Their son Aldo helped put Gucci on the map by opening boutiques in the worlds fashion capitals; London, Paris and New York. In the late 1960's the company targeted the Far East and opened stores in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Korea. At the same time the company had established its recognisable GG logo (Guccio Gucci's initials) and their fashion items were being worn by Grace Kelly, Jackie Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy.

Gucci is one of the world's most famous, recognisable and prestigious leading luxury brands in the world, and the worlds biggest selling Italian brand. It designs, produces and distributes high-quality luxury goods, including ready-to-wear, handbags, small leather goods, luggage, shoes, gifts, fragrances and of course eyewear. Being one of the most recognisable brands in the world, the House of Gucci is an iconic brand with a huge desirability. Gucci manufactures all products in Italy and licenses the production and distribution of eyewear, perfumes and men's ready-to-wear.
