Gucci Tiger Capsule Collection for the Lunar New Year 2022

5 January 2022

By Tricia Oliveira

In celebration of Lunar New Year, the House presents Gucci Tiger: a wide-ranging selection of ready-to-wear and accessories featuring various renditions of the animal – a mainstay of Alessandro Michele’s collections and a reflection of his fascination with nature.

A new print, a reinterpretation of a late 1960s archival design by Vittorio Accornero the artist and illustrator who created Gucci's signature Flora design—depicts the tiger against a colourful backdrop of greenery and flowers in a pastel palette.

The print is presented in an all-over variation across the ready-to-wear assortment from outerwear and denim to shirts and dresses among other items. In a more subtle inclusion, it appears in the lining of a trench coat.

A tiger and 'Gucci Tiger' wording are seen in patch form on jackets, jeans and knitwear, accompanied by a maxi multicolor monogram, Interlocking G or the equestrian-inspired Web stripe.

An ample range of sweatshirts and T-shirts feature the tiger and logo elements in diverse iterations. On some pieces, the tiger is painted by hand or applied as a patch crafted with artisanal crochet and embroidery techniques, rendering these styles one-of-a-kind.

Prints, patches and embroideries can also be seen on signature shoe and bag silhouettes, often combined with the GG monogram. Eyewear, silk accessories and hats round out the Gucci Tiger selection.

The Gucci Tiger also appear in watches, eco-friendly in every way starting from the recycled steel case to the dial and strap crafted from the brand's animal-free Demetra material made primarily from sustainable, renewable and bio-based raw materials.

The special product selection comes with exclusive, themed packaging including a set of coordinated boxes, shoppers, envelopes, and pouches of different shapes and sizes as well as dedicated label adorned with the all-over Gucci Tiger print. In keeping with Gucci's ongoing commitment to sustainability, shoppers are made from paper sourced from responsibly managed forests, handles contain 100% recycled polyester and are knotted so to avoid the use of glues. Lastly, all ribbons are crafted from 100% organic cotton. 

The collection officially launched on 4 January and is showcased in Gucci stores worldwide through dedicated window displays and Pop-Ups. The creativity of these ephemeral stores is inspired by a print from the collection. A portal with an illuminated "Gucci Tiger" sign marks the entrance to the forest-like space. Giant leaves outlined by LED lights form a canopy as the greenery elegantly contrasts with the checkered black and white flooring that distinguishes the space.
