EP3 — Gucci: The House That Killed Itself

Wind down tonight with the quiet history of Gucci — the Florentine boy who carried luggage at the Savoy, the bamboo handle born from a shortage, and the family war that ended with no Gucci left at Gucci. Soft-spoken storytelling designed to help you fall asleep peacefully — ideal for sleep, relaxation, or simply drifting off to the story of the house of the double G.

Our promise: we never interrupt the story. Any adverts only ever appear before the story begins — never in the middle of it. It's how we keep the fire lit.
