Gucci Launches a New Exclusive Luxury Home Line

Published by Pamela Thomas-Graham

We predicted that Gucci would be the force that brings the world together and changes the way we see ornamentation and embellishment for years to come. And now there’s further proof: Gucci is coming home with us – literally. Our smartphones started vibrating like crazy here at Dandelion Chandelier one morning last week. The email subject lines and texts were all pretty much the same: Gucci Décor has arrived! The exclusive new home collection designed by Alessandro Michele includes both furniture and decorative objects. It’s available in New York only at the Gucci flagship store and at Bergdorf’s – and online at Gucci.com. Just in time for New York Fashion Week. And for the upcoming holiday gift-giving season.

And it’s all about entertainment and fun.

There’s a lovely little Napa Valley equivalent only 90 minutes from Manhattan on the North Fork of Long Island. And the best winery among the 40 or so that you can choose to visit? For our money, it’s the highly-acclaimed Bedell Cellars. Don’t just take our word for it: their 2009 Merlot was served at the Inauguration of President Obama in 2013.

Celebrated around the world by nearly 16 million people of the Jewish faith, the holiday includes the lighting of candles, the giving of gifts, and festive family gatherings. Some of our friends and team members here at Dandelion Chandelier shared their Hanukkah traditions, and we all spent some time seeking advice from our luxury-class pals on how to celebrate it in high style.
