Gucci Finds Quality in the Digital Realm

Gucci has been gradually expanding its involvement in the realms of digital fashion and art. The enthusiasm surrounding NFTs has diminished, but the collaborations forged by Gucci indicate that the luxury brand remains highly committed to NFTs and digital art.

In November 2022, the brand opened the Gucci Vault, a digital experiential venue, within The Sandbox. Earlier this year, the brand unveiled an exciting partnership with Yuga Labs. Gucci aimed to bring the world of high fashion to the enchanting realm known as the Otherside. A month later, the luxury house partnered with the fashion brand Vans. The partnership birthed a unique scavenger hunt experience on Roblox.

We believe that the partnership between these popular companies show the value and power of the NFT space to other brands and companies.
