Gucci icons: Flora was a special commission for Princess Grace of Monaco,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], following a visit to
the Milan [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
On the Princesses visit one of the purchases was a "bamboo bag", Rodolfo [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] insisted the
Princess choose a gift to go with the bag, the Princess chose a scarf but Rodolfo Gucci did not
believe there was one fitting enough for the Princess,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and contacted designer Vittorio Accornero
with instructions to design a print for the Princess. Accornero set about the task and on the
following day showed Rodolfo a template of multicolor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Flora",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], little did either men know that
this would not only end up on a product for a Princess, but that it would go on to be much more
and the name "Flora" would become an icon.
European women treasured the "Flora" name, it was something that was passed on from mother to
daughter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Caroline of Monaco wore a blouse in the "Flora" print of the scarf given to her
mother along with Frida Giannini whose mother also fell in love with the "Flora" print whilst in
Rome. In the summer of 2005 the "Flora" print was brought back to life when the print was
released on canvas bags,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the bags an immediate success,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sparked variations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the pattern being
rescaled,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], abstracted or re-colored and was seen on print dresses in 2006 and on jewelry and
evening bags, proof of a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] icon continuing 40 years.
The bamboo handled bag of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]`s that the Princess purchased,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and which led to the design of
"Flora", was designed in 1947 in a back room at [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] by skilled artisans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who had also to bear
in mind that this was a time of war and there were shortages in materials. The standards of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
did not drop even during these hard times and while the bamboo handle was a solution,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it went on
to become an icon of Gucci that was a piece of history when it came to design, and would lead to
patterns inspired by bamboo featuring on a multitude of products bearing the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] brand name.
"Flora" and "Bamboo" are just two of the most famous icons of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], today the Gucci name is
itself an icon that is associated with luxury and the very best in life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], women all over the world
