Guccio Gucci was tired of washing
dishes so he moved to Florence in 1921 and started his own little
company. Making luggage and saddlery was his trade and exclusive
international customers sought after his high quality leather goods.
Soon Gucci expanded his business to include Gucci handbags and Gucci
purses and thus was born an empire of fashion known around the world
today. Although Gucci is known today for more than just its Gucci
purses, it was the Gucci handbags, specifically the bamboo handled
handbag that debuted in 1947, which started this fashion empire.
Gucci has expanded their designer Gucci purses
and Gucci handbags into more styles than just their icon bamboo
handled purse. The Gucci design house is best known for “status handbags”
– the designer bags that are bought more for their name than
for their practicality. Gucci reached that upper status when celebrity
heavy weights like Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jacqueline Kennedy
accessorized themselves with Gucci products. In fact there is even
a Gucci bag that is named after Jacqueline Kennedy.
Gucci continues to influence the fashion
world today and Gucci handbags remain one of the most sought after
fashion item. But for those shoppers who don’t have a celebrity
paycheck there are many replica designer handbags websites that offer
a great selection of replica Gucci purses. These Gucci inspired purses
have the Gucci style but with a smaller price tag, that maybe even
a dishwasher could afford.
