Gucci Launches a New Exclusive Luxury Home Line

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.

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.
