Gucci started back in the 1920's when in 1921 Guccio
Gucci opens leather good company and a small luggage store in Florence,
also having time working in London's Savoy Hotel and absorded the
refined aesthetic of english nobility which he introduces this
sensiblilty in Italy in leather goods and created and produced by
craftsmanship of tusan artisans.
Years passed the name label grown and
were born into this world and become enduring symbols of the fashion
house. In 1953 Guccio Gucci dies and his sons Aldo, Vasco, Ugo and
rodolfo take over the business, in the 1960's the double logo "G" arrives. GUCCI EYEWEAR: The soft lines and upgraded frames of the acetate sunglasses, part of the Britt? line, are identifiable by the new GUCCI
logo, a double, overlapping G in the form of an oval that is inserted
into metal tags or applied directly to the temples. This new take on
the traditional interlocking G icon, stands out in contrasting hues of
brown, cyclamen, black, red and dark Havana brown, or in more subtle
shades of toned-down red, purple and grey.
Other models with striking
profiles bear the Gucci signature script, in enamel on the
interior of oval tags, and are attached using tiny, exposed studs to
illuminate the different shades of horn, green-Havana brown, brown,
brilliant cyclamen, brilliant black, brilliant red, dark Havana
brown.The rounded acetate frames have a 1970s look that are enhanced by
the signature script accentuated by Swarovski crystals on the left
temple: this differentiating touch stands out against the Havana grey,
gold, green and horn.
