Gucci fashion or the House of Gucci is a company that was started in 1921 in Florence, Italy by an Italian leather craftsman named Guccio Gucci. Before Gucci became the fashion powerhouse that it is today, it began as a small leather goods company and luggage store. For many years before opening The House of Gucci, Guccio Gucci had worked as a leather craftsman. Refining his skills throughout the years in various capacities. For years Gucci worked at London's Savoy Hotel where he adopted a refined aesthetic and sense of high fashion from British nobility. He used this sense of refined aesthetic later when he opened his shop to create high quality goods for people in Italy.

Using the most skilled craftsmen in Tuscany, Gucci products quickly built a reputation for quality. Because of this growing reputation, Guccio Gucci expanded his business into Rome, Italy in 1938. Soon Gucci's one-man business became a family affair as Gucci's sons joined in the work of the company. In 1951 Gucci opened another Italian store in Milan and shortly after that the company expanded oversees, opening a store in New york City. Today Gucci is the premier designer of fashionable handbags.
