Elegance, Exclusiveness and Distinction

Featuring an exclusive portfolio for the Habano Festival’s closing auction and a new line of all-natural leather purses, the Italian master will once again unveil an exclusive all-leather purse handmade by Florentine craftsmen –the cradle of the centennial Gucci brand– for the 13th Habano Festival’s much-anticipated closing auction.

An image of finesse elegance, the warranty of good taste, thorough design and quality manufacture single out the new line of all-leather purses Italian fashion designer Giorgio Gucci will bring to Cuba for the upcoming spring-summer season. In view of his attendance to the 13th Habano Festival, Gucci is immensely pleased to be at the closing night with a purse made of reptile leather that features a number of new details and a one-and-only design, totally handmade by Florentine artisans from the place that’s considered the cradle of the arts and the home of the centennial family business. This year his company is putting that purse under the gavel at the closing auction. The money collected there is funneled into Cuba’s public healthcare system. Now back to the launch of his new spring-summer collection, the renowned fashion designer said this one “comes on the heels of Giorgio G’s decade-old tenure on the island nation,” a span of time in which the brand has garnered tremendous preference in the most demanding public, not only thanks to strict respect for fashion guidelines and good taste, but also because out-and-outer extremism and exhibitionism have been ruled out altogether. “Cuba deserves this space that Giorgio G has in its realm of luxury items. Its natural and artistic treasures, coupled with the warmth of the people, are to me a renovation of both the soul and creation. This is a nation that inspires trust, and that’s very important when it comes to doing business,” the entrepreneur pointed out. In some sort of analogy with the exclusive character of Habanos, Giorgio G rolls out its line of deluxe footwear and accessories that clings to the premise that price is never asked when quality prevails, as his grandfather Guccio Gucci used to say. Today, the brand’s items are more varied than never before, with renovation of its deluxe footwear collections and accessories on a monthly basis which are sold in 17 stores and boutiques in Havana, Varadero, Matanzas and Santiago de Cuba, among other provinces.
