The Web’s bold red and green stripe a
signifier of Gucci’s strong equestrian roots, takes its inspiration from the canvas
girth strap used to hold saddles firmly in place on a horse’s back. From a
Tuscan tradition into the world of luxury, the Web’s distinctive stripe was
first developed in the Fifties, and instantly became the hallmark of a cultured
club of well-traveled connoisseurs.
Throughout Gucci’s rich history, the Web’s
globally recognized bold stripe has played a starring role in a plethora
of
products such as the centerpiece of a Jackie O bag, on the strap of a
weekend
tote and the base upon which the horse bit was placed on a classic Gucci
loafer.

Fast forward to today and under Frida
Giannini’s creative direction, the Web’s stripes are rendered in various
contrasting colors, materials and sizes throughout Gucci collections,
visually
linking the House’s storied past with today’s edgy equestrian aesthetic.
