Gucci

Formerly known as the House of Gucci, the fashion designer is most known for the leather handbags that are sold world wide.

Every woman knows that a Gucci handbag on her arm is just as fashionable as a good looking man, and they are just as sought after.

The original leather handbag with the bamboo handle hit the runways and marketplaces in 1947. During the 1950's, the trademark fashion red webbing was introduced; an idea that Gucci got originally from the saddles the company manufactured at the very beginning of the family business. Guccio Gucci was never to see the ultimate rise of the company to stardom - the fashion designer died in 1953, leaving the family to carry on the tradition, and carry on they did. The Gucci name was highly sought after during the fifties, sixties, and seventies - especially by celebrities, who had to have the newest designs in handbags as soon as the status symbols newest designs were available.
