The first Fiat 500 made its debut in the 50′s, and since that moment it has always been the desire of everyone who has a certain kind of taste. It started to be an icon, more than a car, and it became a status symbol, and for this reason, one the greatest italian success story.
Fiat 500... never out of fashion...
This year, for the 150th anniversary of the Italian Republic, and luckly pairing with the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the Gucci mansion, 2 of the most respectable italian brands have decided to work together, combining class, style, elegance and italian history. Here is the result.
The new Gucci 500
Gucci creative director, Frida Giannini, says that the car has been inspired by watching black and white movies, and for this reason will be available just this colors. The BLACK version will be full of chrome platings, contrasting with the white inside, while the PEARL WHITE version will present satinized elements and interior black and ivory.
“When the Fiat 500 first hit the road in the fifties it created a style revolution.” says creative director Frida Gianinni “Gucci’s history has always been about traveling in style so when this collaboration came up, it struck me as the perfect opportunity to create a new modern travel statement.”
The Car has been studied in all details, his silhouette has the famous green-red-green Gucci trademark, the double G, ton sur ton, on all the body and the brand in italic style lead on the hatch and on the doorpost.

I hope you don’t mind a guys answer, but my omther is a purse connoisseur so I know a thing or two. It all depends on the style and attitude you want to portray, the type of bag, and your age demographic. Most Louis’s portray sophisticated, upper class, serious woman, 30s and up, that love prestige and power. Gucci, Especially Leather Gucci, is more versatile, Gucci is cutting edge, adds a more modern flare, daring, where as Louis are classic/sophisticate. The Gucci is good to portray hip, chic, and fun.
