Gucci

Gucci was established in 1921 by Guccio Gucci in Florence, Italy. The brand introduced the Horsebit loafer in 1953, a leather shoe featuring a metal horse bit as a reference to equestrian themes.

Gucci shoes are manufactured in Italy using materials such as leather, suede, and canvas. Production processes involve handcrafting techniques performed by workers in Italian facilities.

Gucci uses methods including hand-stitching and leather cutting in its shoe assembly process. Materials for construction include animal hides processed into leather and other textiles such as canvas.

The Horsebit loafer, first produced in 1953, continues as a key model in Gucci's range of footwear. The brand also offers other styles and designs for men and women.
