The fashion house of Gucci was
established in the 1920’s in Italy. Founder Guccio Gucci was inspired by the
English nobility aesthetic and created small luggage and leather goods. Now,
the Gucci group is one of the most valuable brands according to Forbes
magazine. Throughout the decades, Gucci has managed to stay true to its noble
roots when it comes to design. The brand now carries fashion accessories
including sunglasses and prescription eyeglasses.
Back in the 1930’s, Gucci’s
clients were mostly horse-riding aristocrats—a trend that gave birth to the now
iconic Horsebit. The Horsebit icon has also been incorporated into Gucci’s eyewear line. There are
eyeglasses that use the Horsebit as the connector for the main lenses and the
ear pieces. This symbol can either come in metal, bamboo, or even studded in
crystals.
In the 1940’s Gucci experimented
with luxury materials such as jute, line, and hemp. This gave rise to the
Bamboo bag. Bamboo is an iconic Gucci material, and you can find eyewear that
uses such bamboo materials.
Another trademark of Gucci is the
green-red-green stripes, which came about in the 1950’s. This can be commonly
seen on their bags and clothing line as well as prescription eyeglasses. The
green-red-green stripe is usually painted on the ear pieces for a sleek and
modern look.
In the next decade, Gucci created
another iconic detail, the interlocking G’s. This design in detail can be found
on buckle belts and watches and also on prescription eyeglasses. Instead of the
entire Gucci name, an interlocking pair of Gs can be found on the side of
eyewear. Sometimes, the interlocking G forms a heart.
Gucci came into prominence thanks
to its sophisticated designs, which caught the attention of notable celebrities
and figures of elegance. The brand continues to forge into the world of fashion
brining in craftsmanship and innovation. When you wear a pair of Gucci
prescription eyeglasses, you earn instant style points.
