Brand: Gucci Type: Cosmetic Case / Makeup Bag Material: Patent Leather Pattern: Guccissima Monogram (Embossed GG) Exterior Colour: Red Hardware: Gold-Tone Metal Closure: Zip-Around with Heart Charm Zipper Pull Dimensions: 26" W x 12.5" H (approx.) Interior: Black Fabric Lining Serial Number: 158228 525040 Country of Origin: Italy This structured cosmetic case is executed in Gucci's signature Guccissima patent leather, the embossed double-G monogram rendered in a rich red finish that catches the light with every movement. The zip-around closure is anchored by a gold-tone heart charm engraved with the Gucci script, a charming detail that speaks to the Florentine house's enduring romance with refined hardware. Within, a black fabric lining offers a clean backdrop for daily essentials. Since its founding in 1921, Gucci has married Italian leatherwork with an unmistakable visual language; the Guccissima motif, first introduced in the late twentieth century, remains one of the brand's most recognizable codes, translating the interlocking G into a tactile, all-over pattern that identifies a piece at a glance. Notes from the Curator The serial number 158228 identifies this cosmetic case as one of Gucci's Guccissima patent leather accessories, a line featuring the embossed interlocking-G monogram that creative director Frida Giannini introduced in 2006. The term Guccissima literally translates to "most Gucci," and the pattern features the interlocking GG logo embossed by Giannini, transforming what had arrived in 1969 as a diamond-pattern repeat on coated cotton into a dimensional texture pressed directly into calfskin. Patent leather amplifies the effect: light pools in the recessed double-G motifs while the raised surfaces gleam, creating a play of shine and shadow that the original canvas could never achieve. The heart-shaped zipper pull, engraved with the Gucci script, belongs to a broader tradition of personalized hardware details the Florentine house has favored since Aldo Gucci designed the interlocking GG motif in honor of his father, intending it to represent the links of a bracelet—a reminder that even the smallest functional element can carry genealogical weight.
