Where to Sell Gucci Bag | High Price Purchase | JEWEL CAFE

Gucci's founder, Guccio Gucci, was born into a hat-making family in 1881 and began working as an elevator boy at the Savoy Hotel in London in the early 20th century. It was during this time that he absorbed the elegance of the upper class visiting the hotel, and upon his return to Florence, he worked in an antique store, then in a leather company where he studied trade and management, and after World War I, he was welcomed by a leathercraft company where he learned how to sort and maintain leather and became manager of the Rome office. There, he demonstrated his managerial skills and finally opened his own store in Via Vigna Nuova in Florence in 1921. To guarantee quality, he sold the world's first double-G monogram with the designer's name, which became the original branded product. In 1938, he opened a store on Via Condotti in Rome, with the concept of "creating products that reflect the best traditions with the best quality and the best of the past in the present”. The shortage of cowhide during the war forced the bag industry to consider alternative materials, and pigskin, which had been used for the back skin, was used for the front skin, and Gucci gained a reputation for its luxurious finishing techniques. Bamboo bags with bamboo handles, which can be said to be a standard item, were first made during World War II, when economic sanctions made it impossible to import hides, so the handles were substituted with bamboo so as not to reduce the amount of leather that was available. The company expanded into overseas markets: London and Paris in the late 1940s, New York and Los Angeles in the 1950s, and Vancouver, Tokyo, and Cape Town in the 1960s. When Guccio's third son was working in Hollywood in the film industry, he used Gucci products as movie props, which were well received by American women. Since then, Gucci products have been used by Hollywood stars such as Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn, and celebrities around the world such as Jacqueline Kennedy, and have enjoyed great popularity. In 1956, a Gucci scarf was famously chosen as the guest gift for the wedding of Prince Rainier of Monaco (now King) and actress Grace Kelly. After Guccio's death, there was a bloody family feud over the management of Gucci, and the business deteriorated to the extent that even bankruptcy was rumoured. When Maurizio, Guccio's grandson, became the third successor, Tom Ford was hired as the designer of the women's collection, and his stylish coordination and gorgeous use of materials greatly renewed the image. With his brilliant skills, he rekindled the Gucci boom around the world, and later succeeded in creating Gucci's heyday with black items under the concept of "expressing realistic clothing in clean style”. Later, the company began to produce a variety of products, such as GUCCISSIMA, which features the GG logo and horsebit motif heat-embossed on the finest leather, “GucciEyeweb" was launched for the younger generation, and Gucci Japan was established in Japan. GUCCI, with its concept of "creating products that reflect the best of the past in the present with the best of tradition and the best of quality", continues as one of the world's most prestigious brands.
