Lagacy Leather Teddy Messenger Bag (1833-025)ReviewsMy girlfriend bought me this because apparently I needed it. I was dubious as my old messenger bag seemed good enough. Apparently I was mistaken. This bag is spacious has lots of inner pockets, for stuff that can not fall out, and the simple stitching and high quality leather look great. the strap is very comfortable. I have only used it once...to haul my computer and assorted reading material on a transatlantic flight...worked great. I commute to the train station every day on my bike and am pretty sure that the geometry will be comfortable for the 15min trip. However for all day around town cycling I will probably revert to teardrop bike messger. bag. Basically I am cheap and would not have shelled out the money for the bag, since I already have a bike bag. However as a gift the price was right. I was involved in the search that brought her to the ordering of the bag and the price was by no means at the top of the spectrum. While I can not imagine finding any better quality perhaps one might wish to pay a bit more for another style or size. Many other web sites offered this item, but not all the colours were available at all the sites and prices did vary by about 10 USD The bag was well made but had a musty/mildew scent to it. The problem lies with the return and the additional out of pocket expense to send it back plus the additional restocking fee charged. Customer service with the company is not the best. I have never been so frustrated over a purchase. This bag is very stylish and expensive looking. It can hold up to 3 college text books with ease, and a slim laptop. My only con for this product, is that the one buckle strap on the bag, can be misidentified as a female purse, if not worn the proper way. Which would be around neck and under the arm instead of just over the shoulder. Excellent price and an excellent buy for a unisex gift. I surprised my husband with this messenger back and it was just perfect for his needs as a teacher. It fits his MAC, planner, and still leaves room for students' papers. The bag is built nicely and the strap is decent. However, the width is too small and it looks like a large purse. I was too lazy to return it so I'm stuck w/ it. Any takers? Average Rating: |

The House of Gucci (pronounced Guchi) was founded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci. In 1938, Gucci expanded and a boutique was opened in Rome. Guccio was responsible for designing many of the company's most notable products. In 1947, Gucci introduced the bamboo handle handbag, which is still a company mainstay. During the 1950s, Gucci also developed the trademark striped webbing, which was derived from the saddle girth, and the suede moccasin with a metal bit.
His wife Aida Calvelli had a large family, six children in all, though only his sons—Vasco, Aldo, Ugo, and Rodolfo—would play a role in leading the company. After Guccio's death in 1953, Aldo helped lead the company to a position of international prominence, opening the company’s first boutiques in London, Paris, and New York. Even in Gucci’s fledgling years, the family was notorious for its ferocious infighting. Disputes regarding inheritances, stock holdings, and day-to-day operations of the stores often divided the family and led to alliances. Gucci expanded overseas, board meetings about the company’s future often ended with tempers flaring and luggage and purses flying. Gucci targeted the Far East for further expansion in the late 1960s, opening stores in Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Korea. At that time, the company also developed its famous GG logo (Guccio Gucci's initials), the Flora silk scarf (worn prominently by Hollywood actress Grace Kelly), and the Jackie O shoulder bag, made famous by Jackie Kennedy, the wife of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
Gucci remained one of the premier luxury goods establishments in the world until the late 1970s, when a series of disastrous business decisions and family quarrels brought the company to the verge of bankruptcy. At the time, brothers Aldo and Rodolfo controlled equal 50% shares of the company, though contributed less to the company than he and his sons did. In 1979, Aldo developed the Gucci Accessories Collection, or GAC, intended to bolster the sales for the Gucci Parfums sector, which his sons controlled. GAC consisted of small accessories, such as cosmetic bags, lighters, and pens, which were priced at considerably lower points than the other items in the company’s accessories catalogue. Aldo relegated control of Parfums to his son Roberto in an effort to weaken Rodolfo’s control of the overall operations of the company.
Aldo Gucci expanded into new markets including an agreement with American Motors Corporation (AMC). The 1972 AMC Hornet compact "Sportabout" station wagon became one of the first American cars to offer a special luxury trim package created by a famous fashion designer. The Gucci cars sported boldly striped green, red, and buff upholstery and on the door panels, as well as the designer's emblems and exterior color selections.
Though the Gucci Accessories Collection was well received, it proved to be the force that brought the Gucci dynasty crashing down. Within a few years, the Perfumes division began outselling the Accessories division. The newly-founded wholesaling business had brought the once-exclusive brand to over a thousand stores in the United States alone with the GAC line, deteriorating the brand’s standing with fashionable customers. "In the 1960s and 1970s," writes Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, "Gucci had been at the pinnacle of chic, thanks to icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Jacqueline Onassis. But by the 1980s, Gucci had lost its appeal, becoming a tacky airport brand."
It did not take long before ravaged the company’s pomp by flooding the market with cheap knockoffs, further tarnishing the Gucci name. Meanwhile, infighting was taking its toll on the operations of the company back in Italy: Rodolfo and Aldo squabbled over the Parfums division, of which Rodolfo controlled a meager 20% stake. By the mid-1980s, when Aldo was convicted of tax evasion in the United States by the testimony of his own son, the outrageous headlines of gossip magazines generated as much publicity for Gucci as its designs.
Rodolfo’s death in 1983 caused a major shakeup in the company when he left his 50% stake in Gucci to his son, Maurizio Gucci. Maurizio allied with Aldo’s son Paolo to gain control of the Board of Directors and established the Gucci Licensing division in the Netherlands for purposes. (This action would later have a drastic impact on the outcome of the company’s dispute with the world’s largest luxury goods company, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.) Following the decision, the rest of the family left the company and, for the first time in years, one man was at the helm of Gucci. Maurizio sought to bury the fighting that had torn the company and his family apart and turned to talent outside of the company for Gucci’s future.
