Black stripes cut diagonally across the wool, with the Gucci crest repeated in gold between them. A heraldic emblem becomes a repeat pattern in a scarf large enough to wrap.
This Gucci scarf dates from the 1980s. It is made in a black and gold wool blend, with diagonal black striping and the Gucci crest repeated in gold. At 168 x 69 cm, it is large enough to wear as a wrap.
The crest repeated in gold.
Gucci's visual vocabulary grew from its leather goods: the green-red-green web stripe, taken from a saddle girth, appeared in the early 1950s, and the horsebit was first used on the loafer in 1953. The crest served as a house emblem from the same decade.
In the 1980s Gucci was still a family business. Its ownership changed in 1993, when Maurizio Gucci transferred his shares to Investcorp.
The diagonal stripes give the large surface direction, while the gold crest punctuates the black. The wool blend shows minimal wear.
Diagonal stripes, punctuated in gold.
Gucci has returned to its archive emblems repeatedly in recent decades. A 1980s scarf shows the crest as it was used before those revivals.
Pieces carrying the Gucci crest attract interest among collectors of the house's archive emblems.
Wool scarves are worn in cold weather and can pill or felt, so condition is assessed with care.
Crests and heraldic devices are a recognised feature of 1980s luxury accessories.
