Gucci story

Life's difficulties and turmoil that haunted Guccio Gucci in England not only did not break him, but, on the contrary, hardened him, developing a unique sense of style and elegance.

Observing the hotel guests, the future designer notices the various features of rich people, their desires, needs, habits. All this gives rise to the idea in his head of creating his own company that would produce premium quality bags and suitcases.

Cold and pretentious England welcomes the curious and temperamental Italian not too warmly: the only job that Guccio Gucci manages to get is a porter at the luxury hotel "The Savoy". However, despite all its unfriendliness, it was Britain that awakened in the man those qualities and talents that later helped him create his own fashion house, which conquered not only Italy but the whole world.

When a young man turns 23, he decides to start his own business and thus get rid of the constant notations and morals of his father. So, in 1904 in Florence there is a workshop specializing in the production of horse harness, it is called "Gucci House".

The story of Gucci begins with one man - Gucci Gucci. He was born in Florence (Firenze) in 1881 into a simple family of Italian artisans. The father of the future fashion designer was engaged in the production and sale of elite women's hats, which allowed little Guccio from an early age to join a variety of techniques and technologies of processing materials, to learn the secrets of sewing.

Gucci is a world-famous fashion house of Italian origin, specializing in the production of footwear, clothing, textiles, cosmetics and premium accessories.
