Gucci - The Unbeaten Champion In The Fashion World
Gucci is a household name today in our society. Gucci is one of the leading manufacturers of footwear in the world. They have retail outlets in almost in all major cities. The history started in the year 1906. Guccio Gucci used to sell bags for horsemen and sell those in Florence, Italy. Later in 1938 he opened his first shop in Rome. Gucci first experimented, making bamboo handles for handbags, which became very popular and still today there is a great demand of such bags. Gucci also developed striped webbing in the bags; the idea came from saddle girth and using metal bit on suede.
Gradually over the years the popularity increased and they opened new boutiques in different cities, along with the development of a series of designer handbags. Then from Gucci handbags they entered in producing designer shoes and other products along with the expansion of their business. The earlier overseas boutiques were at London, Paris and then New York. Later they moved in Asia too, opening stores in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seoul. One of their flagship products, the Flora Silk Scarf, was very much favorite of Hollywood actress, Grace Kelly and also worn by the Jackie Kennedy, wife of Late US President John F. Kennedy. Later Gucci shoes became very famous for both men and women. Now Gucci is now most famous fashion brands in the world, having about 500 outlets throughout the world.
