Gucci
Italian-US company manufacturing and retailing leather luggage and accessories from the 1960s, and designing clothes for men and women from 1969. The Gucci family firm was founded in Italy in the 15th century.
In 1905 Guccio Gucci moved from millinery to saddlery, and the business was expanded by his three sons, principally Aldo Gucci (1905–1990), who was responsible for the company's growth in the USA. The Gucci label became an international status symbol in the 1970s. In the early 1990s interest in Gucci grew again, following the introduction of a range of relaxed sportswear-oriented outfits, and the reworking of Gucci loafers in brightly coloured suede.
