His designs exuded all the luxury and refinement of the equestrian world, drawing on a stirrup as a signature trademark. They quickly garnered attention from clients around the world, who fell in love with this new Italian brand. During and immediately after World War 2, Gucci was nevertheless required to innovate as a result of restrictions on materials. It was then that Gucci's famous 'bamboo' bag was born, now a cult item featuring a polished bamboo handle. Guccio Gucci died in 1953, leaving the house in the capable hands of his four sons.
