Fashionistas in Kolkata have a new reason to rejoice with Gucci opening the doors of its brand new store at the Quest Mall. This is Guccis’ sixth store in India. Spanning a 2350 square feet, the store makes for the largest luxury boutique in the Mall, and boasts a design concept by Creative Director Frida Giannini. Patrizio di Marco, Gucci President and CEO, said: “Gucci has been directly operated in India since 2009. The brand has established a strong recognition in the country and among Indian customers living in the most important luxury destinations around the world. Kolkata will be the third metropolitan city in India where Gucci is present.'

Following the norm, clients at the Kolkata store too will receive an unparalleled and luxurious combination of personal service and attention to detail that has defined the Gucci experience since Guccio Gucci opened his first store in Florence in 1921.  A comprehensive range of Gucci products including handbags, shoes, luggage, small leather goods, silks, watches, jewelry, fragrances, sunglasses, the children’s collection, and gift items will be available at the store. 

Giannini’s innovative store design concept, which uses open space, warm luxurious materials and natural light to spectacular effect, is a departure from traditional codified fashion retail spaces, and paves the way for Gucci’s 21st century contemporary look. Signature Gucci materials of rosewood and marble are enhanced with the introduction of new elements such as ribbed glass, warm polished gold, smoked mirror and smoked bronze glass, recalling the elegance and richness of the Art Deco era. Geometric lines, including stylized characterization of Gucci’s signature web striping, define the internal space by adding further symbolic detailing.

“Gucci is the perfect luxury brand for this market, because of its strong brand heritage stemming from decades of tradition and innovation”, says Di Marco of the brand known as one of the leading luxury label in the world of fashion.
