A celebration of the Italian house’s deep-rooted connection to the British capital, the story of Gucci is said to have begun in London back in 1897 where a young and ambitious Guccio Gucci (at the time, a luggage porter and lift boy at The Savoy hotel), was exposed to the tastes and lifestyles of the international elite. Carrying their luggage through the famous revolving entrance doors and operating the lift to the luxurious rooms and suites, Guccio absorbed a world of inspiration, expanding his horizons and cultural awareness. Driven by these experiences, he returned to Florence in 1921 and founded his eponymous leather-goods house, setting the stage for what we now now to be one of the leading multi-brand luxury companies in the world.
