To mark its 90th anniversary, Gucci hosted a fashionable cocktail evening at its Mumbai boutique to celebrate the Artisan Corner, an exclusive presentation of Gucci’s famous Florentine craftsmanship. The craftsmen assembled four signature Gucci handbags, the New Bamboo, the Jackie, the Stirrup, and the Gucci 1973, and small leather goods.
The Artisan Corner display includes custom work tables, a sewing machine, a leather stand, and metal tools, as well as additional background materials which show the products’ evolution from mood board to sketches. Each hand-crafted product was personalized with hand-embossed monogramming. In addition, each handbag featured a special inside plaque embossed with the location and date.
The evening presented the rich and captivating heritage of the House of Gucci with Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor dressed in Gucci S/S 12. Other notable guests like Ashok & Rina Wadhwa, Nachiket Barve, Devika & Suresh Bhojwani, Roohi & Chetan Jaikishen, Monica Dogra, Poorna Jagannathan, Radhika Ruia, A D Singh, Ramona Narang, Laila Lamba, Gayatri & Vikas Oberoi, Narendra Kumar, Bikram & Schauna Saluja, Namrata Baruah Shroff, Rita Dhody, Lata & Vispi Patel, Samantha & Nikki Nayar, Shobhaa & Dilip De, Pratima & Gaurav Bhatia, Sunita & Gaurav Ghai, Nikhil Meswani and Zoa Morani were seen admiring the crafts persons at work while they mingled over canapés and cocktails.
