Description
Model History:
The GG monogram, emblematic of the House of Gucci, was introduced in the 1960s as a tribute to Guccio Gucci, founder of the brand. Since then, the motif has become one of the most recognizable symbols of luxury fashion, appearing on everything from bags to garments. This vest continues this tradition, offering a knitted version of the motif in an aesthetic typical of the 80s and 90s, when logos made a bold statement in ready-to-wear. The reversible nature of the model also underlines Gucci’s own stylistic innovation, combining aesthetics and practicality.
Exterior Details:
The vest features a dense wool knit with a soft yet structured fall. The beige side features the red GG monogram circled in black, while the black side plays it down with an ecru GG motif. Both sides retain the same cut elements: low patch pockets, central buttonhole and black ribbed knit trim. Slightly dropped long sleeves accentuate the garment’s casual look, while the dropped hip length adds a wrap-around look.
Interior details:
As this model is reversible, each side is designed as an exterior in its own right. There are no lining elements, and the double-sided knit gives the vest identical fit and comfort on both sides. The seams are carefully integrated into the knit structure, guaranteeing a clean finish with no internal roughness.
Product Condition:
This cardigan is in excellent overall condition, with no visible snags, stains or distortions. Colors are bright, wool fibers remain compact, with no apparent pilling. Buttons are intact and firmly attached, and ribbing retains its original elasticity. This good condition reflects moderate use and proper care.
Care instructions:
Dry-cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve the quality of the wool and the elasticity of the knit. Avoid machine-washing or prolonged contact with water. For storage, use a wide hanger to avoid warping, or fold gently away from light and moisture. A soft brush can be used occasionally to remove dust or brighten up the mesh.
Why Choose This Product :
This reversible Gucci vest is a versatile and expressive piece, at the crossroads of vintage and contemporary luxury. Its distinctive monogrammed pattern and double-sided design make it a rare piece that is both iconic and functional. It will appeal to vintage fashion enthusiasts looking for a garment with character, easy to integrate into a current wardrobe, while retaining a strong stylistic and historical value.
