Another testament to the endurance and quality of Gucci is the outstanding look and feel of a rediscovered white leather handbag with bamboo detailing from the late Fifties. Upon appraisal for their items, the select collectors invited to participate in the auction were delighted to learn that their Gucci items have a chance of returning to their home as the House may reacquire them for its own archives.
The Gucci Collector initiative coincides with the House's plans to open a Gucci museum in Florence, the birthplace of the Italian House, to coincide with Gucci's 90th anniversary in 2011. The museum will include rare pieces which Gucci has been able to reacquire for its archives through the collector's service.
