Gucci History


Guccio Gucci founded Gucci in Florence in 1921. He was inspired as a teenager by the elegance of the upper class guest staying at the Savoy Hotel in London where he worked as a liftboy. His Vision was to combine this elegance with the unique skills of master craftsmanship of local Tuscan artisans. Today Gucci is owned by PPR Luxury Group. PPR purchased Gucci in 1999. PPR is a family-controlled company and operates in two market segments: Luxury and Sport & Lifestyle.
