When Alessandro Michele took over as creative director back in 2015, luxury fashion House Gucci entered a new era. Once an extremely sophisticated, sleek and edgy brand; the House moved into a space of colour. Embracing patterns, rhinestones and even collaborations with institutions like Disney. What never changed, however, was the world's universal love for the brand; and the craftsmanship and respect for its Italian heritage that shines through with every collection. No doubt, like the rest of our, you're harbouring a wishlist that's miles long; but where should you go to buy the Gucci pieces you simply can't get out of your head? Our eight favourite online stores, below.
