Founded in 1921 in Florence, Gucci has grown to become one of the world's most famous fashion houses, thanks to creative input from the likes of Tom Ford and Frida Giannini. Now under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, who was promoted from a behind-the-scenes designer in 2015, the Italian label has a more romantic outlook on things. Expect pussy-bow blouses, charm bracelets and brooches with the brand's usual luxury handwriting but also a more obvious prettiness.

• Always store your Gucci brooch in the box or bag provided when not in use.
