Gucci is displaying some of the oldest pieces in its archives, for the “Icons of Heritage” exhibit running through November 24th in Marunouchi. Just as with all of the “noble” luxury brands, Gucci started out as a trunk maker, but the brand has done much more than just the bags they are known for now. There are backgammon boards, playing card games and the coolest picnic set ​ever. It’s so quaint and retro…speaking of, there a lot of jet-set-ready bags from the 50s and 60s in some unique patterns and colors as well. 

 

グッチは”icons of heritage”で、数あるアーカイブスのなかから厳選された数点を丸の内にて展示中。ノーブルラグジュアリーブランドのなかでもトランクメーカーとしてデビューしたグッチだが、実際、グッチの名を世に広めたバッグの他にも、かなりたくさんのプロダクツを産み出してきた。backgammon(西洋すごろく)ボード、カードゲーム、めちゃくちゃかっこいいピクニックセットなど。展示されていたそれらはどれも、歴史を感じるレトロなもの。それから、50、60年代の旅行かばんもたくさんあって、ユニークな柄や色がつかわれていた。

There is a set of charity stamps going on sale, 10 for 3,150 yen that benefit a charity for children in the northern earthquake region.They are selling stamps because the name of the new shopping mall where the exhibit is in marunocuhi is called KITTE ((which means “stamps”. And its called KITTE because it used to bea headquarters of the Japan National Post Office… oh, you humor… ))

But the stamps are really cool and pretty much a great way to show off when you mail some xmas cards next month!

 

Before you go to the exhibit, you must check out my tour of the Gucci bag factory in Florence which will make a lot of sense as to why a handmade luxury bag is such a big deal..and what it takes to make one! See it here.
