New Gucci Store Brings Revamped Luxury to The Galleria

Gucci has been having one big moment since Alessandro Michele took over creative direction in 2015. Now, a new Gucci boutique has opened in The Houston Galleria.

The new renovated 4,100-square-foot space is located on the Neiman Marcus side of The Galleria. It houses men’s and women’s shoes, handbags, luggage, home decor, jewelry, watches, accessories, and select men’s ready-to-wear.

In keeping with the house’s history, travel is an integral theme of the store’s design, especially references to luggage — and one storied trunk in particular.

Traditional and modern elements contrast with industrial romantic: marble polychrome inlays are integrated into cement floors and metal plates are burnished with geometric patterns. The cherry-red and peacock-blue carpets, peacock-blue velvet, and pink matelassé upholstery, layered with vintage oriental rugs and sumptuous chairs make the luxurious store unmistakably Alessandro Michele‘s Gucci.

Under Michele’s direction, Gucci has redefined luxury for the modern era with an influential, innovative and progressive approach to fashion. Top-quality, fine Italian craftsmanship is marked by eclectic, contemporary, and romantic flourishes. Everyone from The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle to the Houston Texans’ stylish quarterback Deshaun Watson are Gucci devotees.
