The essential guide to the iconic Italian fashion house.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Since its establishment in 1921, Gucci has become a legendary giant in the luxury fashion business, setting an unbeatable standard of excellence in the world of high-end design. Given their prestigious reputation, it is difficult to believe that the brand's story began with its founder working as a bellhop at a London hotel.

From the moment Guccio Gucci took note of the fine craftsmanship of the luggage he was required to unload for guests at the Savoy Hotel, he began his journey to becoming a master of leatherworking and haute couture.

Charting all the way from the company's humble origins, through the maximalist creative directorship of Alessandro Michele until the present day, unofficial and unauthorized book The Pocket Gucci provides the perfect introduction to Gucci's rich Italian heritage. Filled with facts, history and trivia, this introductory guide is the perfect gift for any fashion lover or aspiring designer.
