Today Gucci will open the doors of its latest store, located in the Westfield shopping mall in the heart of Sydney, Australia.
The flagship store is an expansive space taking up two storeys and 7500 square feet. Its décor is just as luxurious as the stylish items it sells, with plenty of marble and rich rosewood. The Sydney digs will house the entire Gucci range including silks, children’s wear, fragrances, apparel, and of course, handbags.
A few limited edition Australian accessories are sure to get customers through the door. There’s a cute range of Gucci monogrammed key chains featuring iconic Australian animals. Shoppers can choose a koala, a crocodile, or a cute kangaroo. There is also a selection of signature handbags proudly emblazoned with heart-shaped Australian flags. They’re a bit kitschy for my tastes, but their limited edition status should see them sell anyway.
So often designers use these limited edition ranges to line their own pockets, so I’m thrilled to see this Sydney collection is for charity. All proceeds from the sales of the exclusive key chains and handbags will benefit the Australian Childhood Foundation, a non-profit organization which looks to stamp out child abuse and help victims rebuild their lives.
Will you stop by the new Gucci store to do your Christmas shopping?
