Gucci Family Coat of Arms
When did the Italian Gucci family come from? What is the family coat of arms? What is the mystery behind the family coat of arms? Now please follow me to the mysterious Gucci.
Gucci family coat of arms was designed by Guccio Gucci, founder of the House of Gucci. In 1950s Gucci came up with it for the first time. On the arms are a knight carrying shied and a luggage, which represents that Gucci House anciently held seats and estates during the renaissance, because in those ancient times only persons of rank, the podesta, clergy, city officials, army officers, artists, and landowners were entered into the records. Taking a closer look, you’ll discover above the knight are a rose and a steering wheel representing elegance and strength of Gucci House.
Today the Gucci creative director, Frida Giannini drew the inspiration and element from the ancient coat of arms, utilizing the modern but vintage arms on the leather belt, cuff-link, and bag even tongue of high boots. Furthermore, Frida Giannini added her personal interpretation in it so as to conform to seasonal popular themes. For instance, the Lily coat of arms is sourced from the city flower of Florence where Gucci house was founded. In the Gucci Hysteria Collection, the regal and subtle coat of arms is the focal point of this collection. Besides the strong visual effect, the coat of arms shows Gucci’s rich historical heritage as well as brilliant future.10luoyuejun0830
Louis Vuitton Mini Lin Croisette
Welcome to a slightly delayed Edition of Tuesdays with Twiggers! Cruise season is officially upon us! Although if you are like me you are merely thinking of turkey dinner and trying to finish up your holiday shopping. However, the idea of taking off on a cruise to a faraway island and leaving the husband to finish his own holiday shopping, decorate the tree, hang the decorations, and cook the Christmas dinner (all while toting a fabulous new Louis Vuitton bag) somehow appeals to me! The cruise season also makes me think of sun and funnd the dreary Midwest is not going to be providing any of that for at least another 5-6 months!
Even though I not escaping to any distant islands this year, Louis Vuitton has still released some beautiful new bags that will help get me through the dreary winter months. The new Mini Lin Croisette line was released on November 1 and contains a great selection of handbags and accessories sure to please everyone. The Mini Lin Croisette is a variation of the traditional Mini Lin line, part of the permanent collection; however, for the cruise collection the bags now come in two new colors, red and blue, and are subtly striped. When I picture red and white stripes I automatically think of candy canes, but not so with these new bags! The bags are trimmed in a gorgeous white pebbled leather. I am very impressed with this new collection and am curious to find out what you think too!
