In the Gucci Valigeria campaign's second chapter, actor Jungjae Lee explores the roots of the House at The Savoy, a historic London hotel. A young Guccio Gucci, working as a porter, found inspiration in the international jet set, leading him to establish his own luggage atelier in Florence. Jungjae Lee showcases the House's 102-year evolution, photographed by The Savoy's iconic marquee and within the Gucci-furnished Royal Suite. The campaign highlights the enduring narrative in the Gucci Valigeria collection.

Gucci's luggage has always been more than just containers; they ignited the House's creative spark. Guccio Gucci's encounter with fine leather suitcases while at The Savoy inspired him to open a leather goods shop in 1921, specializing in 'valigeria Inglese'—English luggage. Today, the Gucci Valigeria collection features a blend of heritage and innovation, including the Gucci Savoy line with GG monogram and Web designs and the Gucci Porter line—a collaboration with FPM Milano—showcasing GG monogram and Web-embellished aluminum travel pieces like the Bank trolley.

The House's luggage legacy comes alive in the new permanent Gucci Valigeria boutique at 229 Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris. The boutique exudes the elegance of vintage railway carriages, presenting a curated selection from the travel collection.

Explore the timeless allure of Gucci Valigeria, where the journey of glamor and inspiration awaits every traveler.
