High
fashion. Italian style. Traditional craftsmanship. Global consciousness. Gucci
embodies all these characteristics, producing exquisitely crafted luxury goods
with a thoroughly modern sensibility.
Ever since Guccio Gucci
founded the house in Florence in 1921, the brand has been a destination for the
world’s most discerning men and women. Gucci represents the best of Made in
Italy with its inimitable combination of opulence, high artisanry and
contemporary glamour. Today, the House’s commitment to excellence continues
under the vision of Creative Director Frida Giannini, who has enriched its
legacy with an exacting offering of handbags, shoes, and critically acclaimed
fashion collections, as well as children’s clothing, small leather goods,
jewelry, fragrances, and other timeless lifestyle items. Every Gucci piece
carries with it close to a century’s worth of artisanal quality and
unparalleled design. To learn more about the brand’s 90 year history, visit Gucci
Forever.
As Gucci readies for the
next ninety years, the House looks to the next level of corporate
responsibility. From sustainability to philanthropy, Gucci is committed to its
role in the global community. It voluntarily obtained SA8000 certifications
that seek to progressively reduce its environmental footprint and is also
actively involved in philanthropic initiatives that support both women's rights
and arts preservation. In 2005, the House entered into a long-term partnership
with UNICEF and since then has committed more than $12 million in support of
the organization’s women's and children programs in Africa and Asia. Gucci also
collaborates with the Kering Corporate Foundation to combat violence against
women. On the cultural front, the company works closely with Martin Scorsese's
The Film Foundation to fund the digital restoration of cinematic masterpieces,
such as La Dolce Vita and Once Upon a Time in America. For more information on
