The Gucci story begins in 1921 with Guccio Gucci opening a small leather goods store in his native Florence, Italy. Gucci used Tuscan artisans to realize his dream of blending a classic, English-style sensibility with time-honored Italian craftsmanship, resulting in a range of impeccably crafted leather goods. Today, almost a century after it was established, Gucci is iconic for its timeless, emblematic designs and tireless innovation. Gucci's range of sunglasses encapsulates this signature aesthetic perfectly, with its range of square-framed, aviator and wayfarer styles.
