Gucci

Gucci is an Italian luxury fashion House founded in Florence in 1921, when Guccio Gucci opened an artisanal luggage atelier. More than a century later, the House operates globally as part of the Kering luxury group, with its roots in Florentine craftsmanship still central to its identity. Its output spans leather goods, ready-to-wear, shoes, bags, jewelry, watches and décor, alongside a body of design codes and archives that link its history to contemporary creative work.

Several designs have become enduring signatures of the House: bamboo-handled bags, the Horsebit loafer and the Diamante fabric. These sit within a wider portfolio that grew from the original luggage business into leather goods, footwear, handbags, jewelry, watches and home décor, with women's and men's ready-to-wear collections drawing on Italian heritage. The House maintains brand stories and archival material documenting this evolution.

Gucci describes its mission as redefining luxury, and identifies creativity, Italian craftsmanship and innovation as the values underpinning its work. The company is present in Florence and across Italy, and operates internationally as part of Kering. Its activities touch the luxury fashion, leather goods, footwear, jewelry, watches and home décor sectors, with eyewear handled through the wider Kering portfolio.
