Gucci for men

Gucci

Gucci is a prestigious Italian fashion brand that was established in 1921 by Guccio Gucci. Born in Italy in 1881, Guccio worked various jobs in London, including porter, elevator operator, and waiter at the Savoy Hotel. He was inspired by the luxurious accessories of the hotel guests and returned home with the ambition to create his own company specializing in leather goods such as suitcases, bags, clothing for jockeys, and horse bridles. In 1922, the first Gucci store was opened, gaining recognition for its exceptional leather products. Gucci accessories and clothing soon became renowned throughout Europe. Guccio's eldest son, Aldo, joined the business, and in 1933, the iconic GG logo was introduced. The brand expanded its production in 1937 to include ladies' handbags, gloves, and suitcases, and in 1938, the first flagship boutique was established in Rome. Following World War II, Gucci adapted quickly and created unique saddle-shaped bags that became popular among celebrities of that era. The 1950s saw the introduction of scarves, watches, and ties, and Gucci successfully entered the American market with the opening of a boutique on Fifth Avenue in New York. The brand reached its pinnacle in the 1960s and 1970s, offering fashionable clothing, perfumes, and numerous boutiques.

However, the brand faced a significant setback when Aldo Gucci was imprisoned for tax evasion. Ownership of the brand shifted to Guccio's younger brother Maurizio, who sold the rights to use the Gucci trademarks to various small and Asian companies. This led to a decline in the brand's reputation, as the market was flooded with low-quality products bearing the Gucci name. Wearing Gucci clothing became unfashionable.

In 1987, Maurizio sold the majority stake in the company to Investcorp, resulting in the Gucci family no longer owning the brand. This marked a new era of success, as Tom Ford, appointed as creative director, created a sensation with his debut collection. Gucci even achieved a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest-growing brand. Throughout the 1990s, Gucci became a ubiquitous presence in fashion. However, Tom Ford eventually departed, leaving behind his apprentices Alessandra Facchinetti and Frida Giannini. In 2014, Alessandro Michele took over as creative director, and today, Gucci remains synonymous with impeccable luxury in suits, shoes, and accessories, serving as a symbol of status and wealth.

Gucci offers a wide range of footwear options for men, including sneakers, oxfords, derbies, moccasins, loafers, slippers, espadrilles, sliders, monks, and brogues. The brand also provides an extensive selection of luxury clothing, such as trousers, pants, jackets, bombers, cardigans, sweaters, jeans, sweatshirts, pullovers, t-shirts, hoodies, shirts, suits, sportswear, gloves, socks, hats, down jackets, belts, scarves, polos, caps, panamas, and much more. The collection of accessories further enhances one's status, featuring wallets, purses, bags, suitcases, backpacks, and more. Gucci branded items can be purchased in Europe through the official website of the Symbol online store, offering attractive prices and fast nationwide delivery.
