Description

Gucci: The Art of Silk tells the story of the House’s extraordinary silk scarves, the first title of its kind to do so. Given exclusive access to the Gucci Archive, located in a fifteenth-century Florentine palazzo, the book charts an unusual history of this iconic accessory, from its inception to its revivals by a succession of Gucci creative directors, namely Tom Ford, Frida Giannini, Alessandro Michele, and Sabato De Sarno.

In these pages, readers will discover how the scarves have at times made and mirrored the fortunes of the House itself: how the Gucci family aspired to be modern Medicis; the impact of Renaissance Florence; the continuum of craft and creativity—with never-before-seen imagery inside Gucci’s ateliers; the power of celebrity and aristocracy; and the role of contemporary art, highlighted here through a first-look preview of the latest Gucci silk scarf project, “90x90,” nine limited-edition scarves from thirty-eight cutting-edge artists.

The book’s slipcase and cover feature Gucci’s most famous print, the “Flora,” which contains forty-three varieties of flowers, plants, and insects in thirty-seven different colors, all painted entirely by hand.

Lavishly illustrated throughout, with reportage in Florence, Milan, and Como, Gucci: The Art of Silk tells a sumptuous visual tale of silk scarves, together with the people who have made them and the people who have worn them—and one that explains why these scarves have become some of the fashion world’s most iconic accessories.

Customer photo review of GG Blooms Pink Vintage Scarf Drawstring Crossbody Bag

The purse is really adorable. The velvet backing is sturdy and the interior has a little pocket/divider. The only thing I'd change is the way the "Gucci" tag was sewed on - it's a little askew.

Customer photo review of Bolduc Ribbon Orange Vintage Silk Scarf Coffee Run Keychain Bag

This is a beautifully made accessory that perfectly holds 4-5 lipsticks making them easy to access in my purse. The craftsmanship is lovely and the interior fabric and velvet backing fabric perfectly match the Hermes scarf. The customer service was excellent. My order was shipped by US Postal Service and delayed. Tracking said it was in Guam and then Hawaii. I appreciated the prompt responses to my inquiries- so professional! David promptly sent out a replacement. Ultimately they both arrived and I’ll send one back. Thank you!

Customer photo review of Rubans du Cheval Venetian Red Vintage Scarf Drawstring Crossbody Bag

I was so happy to find your site. I love vintage scarves and can never seem to get them to look right on me. So when I saw your gorgeous repurposing of these fabulous scarves, I knew I had to have one. It lets me wear it in a beautiful, new way!

Rubans du Cheval Venetian Red Vintage Scarf Drawstring Crossbody Bag

I was very excited about this clever concept. I feel this is a fun and responsible way to use luxury textiles. The execution sadly fails with the ‘ crystal’ or whatever material it is, drop part. It looks very cheap and therefore takes away from the earrings as a whole.

GG Lilac Vintage Silk Necktie Bag Charm

It was not quite as exciting as I thought it would be. Good idea, but the leather strap is way too long for my Hermes Evelyne. I had to wrap it around the strap hardware several times. The quality of the charm itself is nice though.

FROM THE FOUNDER

I won't list a piece I wouldn't put in my own home. Twenty years of luxury retail taught me what authentic looks like — and what doesn't.
