The Gucci Artisan Corner is a new retail event that transports the craftsmanship of Gucci’s Florentine leather goods factory directly to a Gucci store near you.
Throughout the year, Gucci artisans tour the world, stopping off at select stores to take their place at custom-built Gucci workshops where they assemble and finish some of the House’s most iconic handbags including the Bamboo, New Jackie, New Pelham and G Wave.
This initiative offers a unique insight into Gucci’s time honored
traditions as clients can witness first hand the superb craftsmanship
involved in producing every item in Gucci’s leather goods collection:
artisans hand-stitch handles, assemble bamboo handles, prepare leather
strips for woven stitching and hand emboss customer’s initials during
the events.
