Gucci is a world famous manufacturer of clothing, shoes and accessories. Over its centuries-old history, the brand has become a true synonym for quality and an unspoken symbol of luxury and wealth. But Gucci is also one of the most influential fashion houses, sheltering under its wing several equally famous designers, for example Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and others.
In the winter of 2015, the post of creative director was taken over by the talented Alessandro Michele, a true Midas from the fashion world. The couturier managed to combine Italian traditions with the romance and slight eclecticism of retro style, presenting to the public a collection after which Gucci became the most talked-about fashion house in the world.
Everything Gucci does, be it Horsebit loafers or an elegant dress decorated with handmade embroidery, instantly becomes the object of desire for millions of fashionistas around the world. But the price of luxury clothing makes it unaffordable for most.Therefore, many people wonder whether it is possible to purchase their favorite T-shirt, dress or jeans from their favorite brand at an affordable price? We give advice: take a closer look at last year’s collections, “look” at the secondary market or “visit” an online store.
Cheap item from Gucci - is it possible to save money?
If you carefully study fashion catalogs, you can easily find out the average cost of products from an Italian design house. So, in Russia the price starts from 100,000 rubles. But if you believe the words of buyers, you can buy the item you like cheaper. Online stores, the secondary market or outlets that display last year’s collections can help with this.
Fans of products decorated with the logo of the famous fashion house can be advised to visit the sale in Milan, which takes place annually. During this time, many manufacturers significantly reduce the price tag for their collections, wanting to sell the goods as quickly as possible.
You can also buy Gucci clothes or accessories on the secondary market. For example, it’s easy to find T-shirts there for 9 thousand rubles, jeans from last year’s collections for 8–10 thousand rubles. Moreover, the price of the latter in official outlets will start at 15 thousand.

Where to buy original Gucci
Over time, each brand gains not only popularity, but also a large number of people eager to make money from the famous manufacturer. This can be confirmed by looking at any store. Inside it will be hanging goods decorated with the logos of Gucci, Dior, Adidas and other famous brands.
Reference. Official boutiques and outlets can guarantee the authenticity of the products sold. Each original product will differ not only in the quality of tailoring and small details, but also in the presence of accompanying documents.
