About Gucci.

Founded in Florence in 1921 as a leather goods company, Gucci became synonymous with Italian glamour and the double-G logo. Under Alessandro Michele’s creative direction (2015-2022), Gucci experienced a renaissance with maximalist designs, while current creative director Sabato De Sarno returns to the house’s minimalist roots.

Florence Gucci Garden on Piazza della Signoria houses the archive museum, restaurant, and Gucci Garden capsule

Italian saldi (early January and early July) discount Gucci 30-50% with VAT refund stacking on markdowns

Frequently asked questions.

Can I get VAT refund on Gucci online purchases?

No. VAT refunds are only available for in-store purchases made in Europe. Online orders shipped internationally are already VAT-exempt.

Do I need to show my Gucci purchase at customs?

High-value items (typically over €1,000) may require physical inspection at customs. Keep your purchase in carry-on luggage, not checked bags.

What if I'm connecting through a non-EU airport?

You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination.

How long does it take to get my refund?

With TravelMoney, refunds are processed instantly once validated at customs. Standard tax-free services can take 4-12 weeks.
