The founder of the Gucci Fashion House is Florentine Guccio Gucci. The fashion house opened its doors in 1904.
Little is known about his family. He was from an ordinary, modest family. My father made and sold elite women's hats.
A man in his youth worked as a waiter in London hotels, saw beautiful leather suitcases and bags of visitors and was inspired by the idea to create his own production.
The man soon returned to his homeland in Italy and opened his workshop, where he made boots, suitcases and saddles for riding. The jockeys' suits and horse harness were of high quality.

During the Second World War, due to economic decline and lack of funds, difficulties arose in the supply of leather. The company remained under the threat of closure, since it was leather that was used for the production of goods. The founder of the brand found an alternative to leather, agreed on the supply of Neapolitan hemp and flax, so miraculously the company survived and expanded.
