FASHION 23
It was a time in which traveling signified experience , displacing the certainties of one ’ s social environment , a pursuit of the unexpected , of a will to encounter and to know . Inspired by his observations of the guests and the beautiful items that accompanied them , Guccio returned to Florence and founded his own artisanal luggage atelier in 1921 .
The Gucci Valigeria space at The Savoy showcases a curated selection from Gucci ’ s travel offering including trunks , trolleys , duffle bags , suitcases , garment bags , and other smaller items , many of which are part of the heritage-infused Gucci Savoy collection , featured in the recently revealed campaign featuring Ryan Gosling . Also displayed are pieces from the Gucci Lifestyle line , ranging from travel sets and stationery to pet accessories .
The space continues an ongoing collaborative narrative , which also saw the transformation of The Savoy ’ s Royal Suite with furniture , furnishings , and decorative items from the Gucci Décor collection in celebration of the House ’ s centennial in 2021 , speaking to an imaginative vision that highlights the intrinsic connection between creativity and travel , and the desire to explore and to discover . www . gucci . com | # GucciValigeria The Savoy , Strand , London WC2R 0EU
