Founded in 1906 by Guccio Gucci, the name Gucci is synonymous for fine clothing and fashion accessories worldwide and in fact is the second biggest selling fashion brand after LVMH. Worldwide Gucci now operates 425 stores and they also sell their goods through top name department stores around the globe.
The bamboo handled handbag which to this day is a mainstay item for Gucci was introduced in 1947. It was the son of Guccio Gucci, Aldo who is most responsible for directing the Gucci name to the level that it is today after the death of his father in 1953.
It was during the 60s that the GG logo that is so easily recognized to this day was introduced as was the flora silk scarf made famous by actress Grace Kelly and the shoulder bag that was a favorite of Jackie Kennedy.
Gucci has continued to expand its product line to where it is at the present time where it includes a complete line of clothing and fashion accessories, including mens and womens fragrances colognes and perfumes.

Gucci handbags and purses are a must have item for any woman that is looking to completely round out her wardrobe and there is a seemingly endless choice in fine Gucci handbags and purses to select from.
