Launched in Florence in 1921 as founder Guccio Gucci's saddle company, the Italian fashion house of Gucci has grown to become one of the world's largest names. Synonymous with sumptuous Italian luxury, the brand updates collections with a modern twist each season. Gucci's dedication to quality and attention to detail is evident in the label's impressive selection of women's bags: the luxurious leather Jackie tote features the iconic metal horsebit motif and the much-loved Boston bag comes in monogrammed canvas. Archival designs are given an effortless update, including the 1973 chain-strap shoulder bag and the Bright Bit design in high-gloss patent leather.
