GUCCI Factory In Florence: The Beauty Of Craftsman'S Art

Reporters saw the most in Gucci factories, all kinds of fabrics.

Crocodile skin, ostrich skin, cloth, PVC...

Almost any handbag fabric you can think of can be found.

What impressed reporters most was the process of cutting leather by craftsmen.

At the scene of operation, a craftsman first lays the whole piece of leather that needs to be cut on the worktable, and eliminates the unnecessary leftover bits and pieces, and takes out a handbag sketch to see the shape needed to cut.

After a little thought, the craftsman picked out the appropriate cutting tool from his special tool and cut it directly under the knife.

Arc, straight line...

The craftsman's hand seemed to have an invisible ruler. He went down to the clouds without hesitation. In just a few seconds, everything was settled, and then the cut material was perfect.

The accompanying reporter told reporters that because the leather used was mostly rare and expensive, and Gucci insisted on making products with traditional manual methods, only the craftsmen who had worked for Gucci for more than 6 years were eligible to cut valuable leather. "If they are crocodile skin, they need more practical experience."

Gucci is also a good skill for men's shoes.

The reporter saw in Gucci's shoe making area that a craftsman was making Lok shoe upper.

He passes the big needle through the small holes which are respectively played on the upper and the shoe upper, and then quickly returns to the wax line, and the upper upper part of the upper shoe is bonded together.

However, the staff told reporters that this seemingly relaxed and enjoyable job is very rare for people who are "inexperienced" who can never make the upper and the upper part of the body form a highly characteristic protrusion side.

Therefore, only a few skilled expert craftsmen are capable of doing such operations.

GG pattern

The double G logo appeared in the early 60s of the last century. It appeared in the form of single G or double G, and later evolved into the double G circle pattern.

Green Red Green Stripe Ribbon

The green red green stripe ribbon is inspired by the canvas webbing with a fixed saddle. The first lady of the United States, Jacqueline, appears in the public view with his Jackie O handbag marked with ribbons, and makes the Green Red Green Stripe Ribbon famous in the first World War.

Slub

Slub marks have been used for more than 60 years. They are used for making knob handles and loop buckles.

Ingrid Bergmn appeared on the movie "Italy Tour" with a bamboo bag.

Diamond pattern

Diamond canvas is the most outstanding fabric design in the history of Gucci.

The design was first built in the mid 30s of the last century, and was woven into rough and flax fibers for making suitcases.

This crisscross pattern is also the prototype of the famous GG logo.

Horsebit

In the 50s of last century, the design of Ma Kou Kou was first used in riding suture leather bags, but the Gucci Loafers Lok shoe was what made this mark popular.

In 1953, Gucci men's soft soles were first used as decorative elements.

Later, Metropolitan Museum of Art regarded it as a classic permanent collection.
