Gucci
Uncompromising validation of Gucci authenticity, backed by years of operational expertise.
A Brief History of Gucci
Gucci was founded in Florence in 1921 by Guccio Gucci, who originally specialized in finely crafted leather goods inspired by the elegance of English equestrian culture. Over the decades, Gucci expanded globally and became known for iconic motifs like the GG monogram, the green-red-green Web stripe, and the horsebit hardware. After a major revival under Tom Ford in the 1990s and a creative reinvention by Alessandro Michele from 2015 to 2022, and now under Demna Gvasalia, Gucci remains one of the world’s most recognisable and influential luxury fashion houses.
