Gucci, founded in Florence, Italy, by Guccio Gucci in 1921, initially specialized in high-quality leather luggage and equestrian accessories inspired by British luxury. The company established its reputation through signature products such as the bamboo-handled bag, the horsebit loafer, and leather goods bearing the interlocking double-G logo introduced in the mid-20th century. Gucci incorporated innovative techniques, including the use of alternative materials like canvas during wartime shortages, demonstrating adaptability and creative resourcefulness. Over recent decades, Gucci experienced a strong resurgence in popularity under the creative direction of designers Tom Ford, Frida Giannini, and Alessandro Michele, as well as through partnerships with brands such as Palace and The North Face, reinforcing its relevance and showcasing its stylistic range.
