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.
