Gucci

"Green-red-green Web stripe, Horsebit, Double G"

Gucci is an Italian luxury fashion house founded in 1921 in Florence by Guccio Gucci. Inspired by the luxury trunks he observed at the Savoy Hotel in London, Gucci created a brand renowned for its artisanal craftsmanship and creative audacity. The horsebit and the GG monogram have become universal symbols of Italian luxury. Under Alessandro Michele (2015-2022), the brand experienced a spectacular revival.

The Gucci models to know

On the secondary market, the value of a Gucci bag is decided first by the reference. Here are the lines our experts see most often — and those that resell best.

  • GG Marmont (2016) — The chevron matelassé with the iconic Double G.
  • Dionysus (2015) — Mythological tiger clasp, a symbol of the house.
  • Jackie 1961 (1961) — Jackie Kennedy's favourite hobo bag, reissued.

The pre-owned Gucci market

Collectible leather goods remain the most liquid segment of the secondary market: rare models and neutral colours resell within days, while seasonal editions call for more patience.

How we authenticate a Gucci piece

Every piece that joins Monogram Paris follows the same protocol in our Paris workshops: no catalogue photography, no supplier imagery, only shots of the actual item.

  • Saddle stitching: regularity, angle and tension of the waxed linen thread
  • Heat stamp: depth, typeface and placement consistent with the archives
  • Hardware weighed and examined under a loupe (crisp engraving, original plating)
  • Zip, pull, lining and feet: original parts, or replacements disclosed
  • Entrupy analysis followed by a second expert review before listing

Care and storage

  • Keep the piece stuffed inside its dustbag, away from direct light
  • Avoid water, perfume and light leathers against new denim
  • Feed the leather once or twice a year with a balm suited to the hide
