The Gucci model files: the bamboo handle born of postwar shortage, the hobo that fame renamed, the equestrian hardware made ornament, and the modern icons of the Michele era. One file per model, anchored on documented history.

"c." marks an introduction documented only approximately — the file records the evidence, not a guess.
Gucci’s serial tags encode the style number and the supplier, not the date — no tool can date a Gucci from its tag, and the file says so plainly so a listing cannot say otherwise. Dating rests on era details and provenance; the dating tools cover Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Hermès.
