Gucci
The House of Gucci, or Gucci, brand was built on sensibility and refinement, along with quality and luxury. These ideals easily made the brand an International success within years and carried it through its momentous 85th anniversary in style. Founded by Guccio Gucci in Florence, Italy in 1921, the company has since been named “European Company of the Year 1998”, among other prestigious awards such as the “Elle Style Awards’ Style Icon Award” in 2000 and “GQ Designer of the Year” in 2001.
Gucci is also a very socially conscious company, partnering with UNICEF since 2005. The organization provides funds for education, healthcare and clean water programs for orphans and children affected by HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. Over the years, Gucci has donated over $7 million to the organization.
Gucci products include high-quality apparel, handbags, fragrance, eyewear and more. There are over 250 Gucci stores worldwide. Gucci products can also be found at upscale department stores such as Bloomingdale’s and Neiman Marcus and at www.gucci.com.
