Gucci
Gucci was founded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci in Florence, Italy. Under the direction of Aldo Gucci (son of Guccio), Gucci became a worldwide brand. Following family feuds during the 1980s, the Gucci family was entirely ousted from the company by 1993. The company continued to grow and by 1999, Gucci was acquired by Pinault Printemps Redoute in an attempt to not get acquired by LVMH it was at this time that Gucci began to focus more on the the jewelry and timepiece side of their business.
