This is the history of the Flora pattern:
Rodolfo Gucci, the son of Guccio Gucci, was determined to bestow a gift upon Princess Grace in gratitude for her unwavering support. He graciously presented her with the choice of any item she desired. With elegance and grace, she requested a scarf befitting of her regal stature.
However, Rodolfo, with his discerning eye for luxury, felt that nothing in his possession met the exquisite standards of royalty. Thus, he entrusted the illustrious illustrator Vittorio Accornero, renowned for his impeccable designs at the House of Gucci, to create a bespoke floral masterpiece.
Accornero graciously accepted the commission and returned with a breathtaking creation – a floral pattern on a pristine white background.
This opulent scarf boasted an impressive palette of 37 vibrant colors, showcasing a mesmerizing array of flora and fauna, including daffodils, poppies, butterflies, and beetles.
Truly a testament to the unparalleled craftsmanship and artistry that defines the Gucci legacy.
