Gucci

Italian-US company manufacturing and retailing leather luggage and accessories from the 1960s, and designing clothes for men and women from 1969. The Gucci family firm was founded in Italy in the 15th century.

In 1905 Guccio Gucci moved from millinery to saddlery, and the business was expanded by his three sons, principally Aldo Gucci (1905–1990), who was responsible for the company's growth in the USA. The Gucci label became an international status symbol in the 1970s. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the Gucci group developed into one of the world's largest fashion retail corporations, with majority shares in a number of other designer brands, including the fashion houses of Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen, and Fendi perfume.
