For fashion lovers, Gucci is a familiar name. Guccio Gucci was working as a hotel employee in Paris and London. He was always fascinated by the high quality luggage that his guests used to bring with them and visited H J Cave & Sons, a famous manufacturer to see how they were produced. He soon returned to Florence, his birth place to start a business of his own.
By 1920, he established a shop that sold leather goods. His products were distinctly known for their fine leather work and classy styling. His business grew and he expanded his product line to include footwear, clothing and other accessories.
By the 1950s, Gucci had established itself as a premier luxury brand. The brand continued to prosper through the 70s. Today, Gucci is the highest selling Italian fashion brand.
