March 23, 2008
With the availability of innumerable perfume brands, it is very much likely that one will consider various parameters before settling for one particular brand.
Originally what one started off with a small family business selling leather goods, Gucci rose to prominence in the fashion industry at the hand of Guccio Gucci, who founded his saddler shop in 1906. It was then in 1938 Gucci fashions opened their first boutique. Eventually in 1960s, the symbol GG got associated with the Gucci brand and the people now started recognizing GG as Gucci brand. Gucci perfumes are an offshoot of this brand. Now it has become a common practice for fashion lines to branch out into the perfume industry.
Gucci has now become one of the top most fashion houses in the world.
