Gucci’s first dedicated store for luggage and travel accessories has opened in Paris. The 2000 sq.ft. double-storey retail space has a variety of garment bags, toiletry bags, hat cases and other travel necessities along with a wide selection of Gucci Valigeria luggage and travel bags. Additionally, one can find a wide variety of sleepwear, cosmetics, pet supplies, unique trunks and exotic variations of the Gucci weekend bag.
“The opening of our first Gucci Valigeria boutique on Rue Saint-Honoré represents the next stage in our ongoing strategy to reinforce our leadership in the travel category,” Marco Bizzarri, President and CEO of Gucci stated.
The boutique’s design borrows from the opulence of the Belle Époque. The décor evokes the atmosphere of an elegant old railroad carriage, where dark walnut wood furniture and finishes contrast with fabric surfaces in neutral tones,” according to a statement from the luxury brand.
“Gucci Valigeria is a reminder of our Florentine roots and our timeless craftsmanship. It is a symbol of our tradition, which is now being reinterpreted for the modern traveller and explorer. Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris is the ideal place to host our first Gucci Valigeria boutique, a space designed to give access to a unique world made up of continuous travel and discovery,” added Bizzarri.
