GUCCI FEATURED IN GRAZIA'S FASHION CHARTS

Gucci's Diamantissima rings were featured in the most recent issue of Grazia's Fashion Charts.

At the heart of the Gucci archives is the Diamante Canvas.  Its distinctive crisscross pattern, which features small interconnecting dark brown diamonds on a tan background, was originally the debut signature print of this Florentine House.  Created in the mid 1939s, the diamond pattern was first woven onto hemp and used on luggage as one of Gucci's innovative solutions to prewar leather shortages.

The design's crisscross configuration served as a precursor to the famous GG logo. Although featured through the 1950's, the Diamante Canvas was left largely unused until Creative Director Frida Giannini rediscovered the motif in the Gucci archives.  The elegant and subtle design has now been incorparated into an exclusive yet contemporary Fine Jewellery line in three shades of gold, namely, yellow, white and pink.
