The Gucci brand was launched in 1921 when Guccio Gucci opened a small luggage and saddlery company in Florence that was aimed to produce leather goods delicately crafted by the best craftsman of Florence. When Gucci’s business flourished, attracting international clientele along the way, a new outlet was opened in Rome in 1938. The 40's saw the first bamboo handbag by Gucci and the famous trademarked stripe webbing became a success in the 50s. Gucci stores then started to expand rapidly, with the first New York Gucci store opening in 1953, and more new stores later in London, Paris and Palm Beach during the 60s. During this time, Gucci also became synonymous with Hollywood chic, when Gucci products were being donned by famous women such as Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy.

The following decade saw Gucci expanding it’s presence to the Far East. During the 90s, Gucci branded shirts, jackets and hip huggers were introduced. The 90s was also a period of great corporate change for Gucci when the company was sold in its entirety to Investcorp in 1993. It was during this time when many different product lines were introduced under the Gucci brand, including the acquisition of a watch company and an alliance with Pinault-Pretemps-Redoute all of which transformed Gucci into a multi-branded company.

Gucci eyeglasses are symbolized by the trademark G for Gucci which is showcased on all Gucci branded eyeglass frames. Gucci eyewear strive to maintain a clean and classy look amidst a youthful design. This comes with high quality materials used to manufacture these eyeglasses. Apart from that, the variety of frame types, both thick plastic frames and thin metal ones as well as the myriad of different colors for the lenses provide a good selection of choices for the Gucci eyeglass wearer.

Gucci eyewear has also been designed to complement other product types bearing the same Gucci brand name, consisting of bags, shoes, scarves as well as luggage and household accessories. Additionally, Gucci eyeglasses also function as a fashion statement especially in Gucci advertisements, when donned by models along with the rest of Gucci apparel and accessories with the purpose of materializing the complete and flawless Gucci photograph.

Thus far, Gucci eye glasses along with its impeccable style have succeeded in becoming a fashion statement to wearers from all walks of life, all over the world. From the boardroom executive, to the doctor and the salesman, to the movie stars and the athletes, Gucci eyeglasses bear a classic visage of elegance and taste. This is a true resemblance of the origin of the brand, which started with a humble beginning in an Italian town.
