Gucci started similarly as Hermes. Guccio Gucci turned his family owned saddlery and leather goods shop into successful luxury fashion company.When Guccio died in 1953 his sons took over the business and expanded overseas. They opened shops in Philadelphia, San Francisco and other USA cities. Gucci company already had the aristocratic appeal - GG monogrammed products were worn by Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, John Wayne, Jacqueline Onassis and Princess Margaret of England.

In 1980's the company went through difficult times what was known in world media as "Gucci Wars". Family's inner struggle for power, tax issues and discourteous treatment of customers by shop assistants, as well as numerous Gucci replicas and knockoffs (also replica bags) in the market had deteriorated the luxury image of Gucci and made the family to sell control of company to InvestCorp International.
In 1990's InvestCorp appointed Tom Ford as creative director and he began rebuilding Gucci reputation in the luxury fashion business. Gucci also overcame the ownership legal battle with LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton who attempted to take over the company.
