Gucci today is the most popular Italian high profile fashion brand having boutiques all around the world and conquering the world of fashion with its signature style both in clothing as in terms of leather ware and accessories. Gucci goods are highly popular in Singapore. Let’s take a look at where we can get to see original Gucci clothes and handbags in this exciting city.
Founded in the early 1900s by Guccio Gucci the brand was started as an artisan company making fine leather goods, primarily handbags and shoes following the high profile fashion of Paris. The Gucci logo with the distinctive red and green bands we can still spot around many Gucci handbags, has become a symbol of quality. Gucci is from Florence, an Italian city world famous for its historical leather crafting methods and quality. Gucci employed the best artisans to work with the best quality leather to create its goods, which have shifted to being cotton canvas during World War II. The Gucci logo was first a crest showing an armoured knight is today used as the symbol of Florence itself. The company has made fame in the Fifties when US movie stars started to visit Florence and brought Gucci bags in the United States.
Mr. Gucci has made great promotions at that time showing famous actors with Gucci handbags, wallets and elegant footwear. Later on the brand decided to go into fashion and released its first women’s collection not long after it has opened its first New York store. Due to bad family leadership, the brand had been in danger between the Seventies and the Eighties saved by talented Italo-American businessperson Domenico De Sole, who could propel Gucci to be one of the most looked for brands from the mid-90’s. The change can also be thanked for the great, highly feminine designs of Tom Ford, who was the leading designer of Gucci for more than one decade. Today, former co-designer of Mr. Ford Frida Giannini is leading the designs of all Gucci products, from clothing lines to accessories with high success.
Today Gucci has multiple clothing lines and produces quality haute couture and prêt a porter clothes for women, men and children. Its leatherwear is still among the most popular items to be bought at the brand, with its signature handbags and wallets representing the Gucci logo. The clothing lines of Gucci represent the modern women, with clean cuts and pure colours. Gucci clothes are worn widely in Asia and Singapore’s Gucci stores are always packed with customers.
