The Gucci handbag is one of the most coveted purses on the market today. Of course, the designs of Guccio Gucci are desired but what one may not understand is how he came to be. The history of the Gucci handbags is an interesting one and has set the tone in the couture world of today’s fashion cosmos. Becoming an educated person about the history of the Gucci house is as easy using the computer keyboard.

Before 1906, designing handbags was just a dream of Guccio Gucci’s. In 1906, however, he opened a saddle shop in Florence. He was a whiz with leather items, and he quickly became well known for his horse tack. It was not until 1938 that he opened his first retail store on the Via Condotti in Rome.

This store was devoted to his fine crafted leather goods. However, in 1947, the famous Gucci designer bag with a bamboo handle was created. This new area of leather items initiated a firestorm of purchases that would shoot his name into fashion history.

With the design of the handbag came fame that Guccio Gucci could have only dreamed of in 1906. Everyone around the world began to see famous starlets such as Audrey Hepburn and Princess Grace Kelly carrying a Gucci handbag.

This type of fame would follow the Gucci house for years to come. The company saw hard times in the 1990′s, but with a new management and design team, he has returned to the forefront of the designer handbag niche.

    What I do know, though, is that she catalogued the fresh, clean handkerchief, the brush and comb, the coin purse, the hairgrip – and the spare fastener for the suspender belt ….. remember, this was back in the fifties where the modern miss wore spencers, suspenders, stockings – and bloomers. And no, I don’t think the handbag contained knicker elastic or thread.
