The house of Gucci, better known as just Gucci, is a luxury fashion brand that was founded in 1906 by Italian businessman and fashion designer Guccio Gucci.
Starting as a small family-owned leather goods and luggage store in Florence, Gucci began to make finely crafted leather accessories such as handbags and shoes. Due to the high quality of the craftsmanship the brand grew rapidly with the introduction of more stores throughout Europe. With the opening of stores in Milan and New York, Gucci started to build its global presence as a symbol of modern luxury. The brand is seen as one of the most famous, luxurious, easily recognisable and desirable fashion brands in the world today.
The first Gucci sunglass collections date back to the 1990s. They quickly gained “it” status, so the fashion house decided to expand into prescription eyeglass design. Like its ready-to-wear and accessory collections, the Gucci eyewear line is distinctive for the flair, quality, and eye for detail built into every frame.
Gucci’s latest collections feature looks that are boldly oversized with coloured lenses, metal frames, and matching acetate temples in playful combinations.
