In 1921 Guccio Gucci opens a small leather and luggage shop in his home city Florence.

In the next years the label enjoys huge success attracting a sophisticated international clientele. The horsebit and stirrup motifs are born, becoming symbols of the fashion house and of an increasingly innovative design aesthetic. Due to the shortage of standard materials during the years of Fascist dictatorship in Italy, Gucci establishes itself as an enterprise synonymous with exceptional creativity and resourcefulness.
