For over 60 years, the Gucci loafer has been acclaimed as the signature shoe of the Italian fashion house.

In 2015, newly appointed creative director Alessandro Michele introduced a whimsical yet refined vision for Gucci that reframed its entire aesthetic — all the way down to the staple Gucci loafers.
