For a while now, I've posted beautiful images about how luxury goods are made and talked about the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into it which involves techniques that are passed down through generations. This time, you can see the magic happen in person.
Gucci will be holding a Silk Artisan Corner at their Palladium Mall boutique on the 12th and 13th April. The artists will present the drawing technique of the iconic Flora Foulard and will personalise scarves with the guests' initials. Is there anything more luxurious than Florentine artists hand painting your initials in front of you on a silk scarf?
When Grace Kelly or should I say Princess Grace of Monaco visited the Via Monte Naploene boutique in 1966, Rodolfo Gucci commissioned master illustrator Vittorio Accornero to create a floral pattern on an original silk scarf as a very special present to the Princess. What followed was a silk scarf printed with nine bouquets of flowers from all four seasons, with berries, butterflies, dragonflies resembling somewhat of a fairy-tale. How magical.
In addition, to celebrate this iconic motif, Gucci will unveil its latest perfume from the Flora series, Gucci Flora 1966. A sheer floral chypre, it features a blend of bourbon pepper, rose, patchouli and peonies. Its not only the perfume that's exquisite, so is the sophisticated bottle and the black silk pouch bearing the colourful flora motifs that houses it. The perfume will be available at the boutique for one month only.
Owning a Gucci Flora product means you hold a piece of fashion history. It continues to be reinvented and is also combined with other Gucci icons like the Bamboo or the Horsebit. I have been fortunate enough to own a beautiful silver bracelet and a pair of earrings both from the Flora series along with many pairs of their amazing footwear. Also, If you ever happen to be in Florence, be sure to visit the Gucci Museo and see all their icons up close like I did last summer. It is truly a wonderful experience.
