"GUCCI" 90's-00's Line fringe design two-tone long stole

“Crafting goods with the finest traditions and the finest quality—reflecting the good of the past in the present.” From GUCCI, we are pleased to introduce this exquisite piece, a valuable archive find.

With its navy and off-white contrast, this piece carries a hint of a marine sensibility.

The fabric, with just the right thickness and a soft feel, drapes naturally with only a single wrap around the neck, and even when loosely laid over the shoulders, it beautifully forms vertical lines. The design—featuring a bold navy band running through the center and narrow stripes rhythmically outlining both sides—remains wonderfully simple, yet the pitch of the look changes depending on how you tie it, allowing the stole’s expression to shift freely. It is a structured stole with a truly versatile character.

In the middle of the line that guides the eye toward the edges, the interlocking G is woven in discreetly. Rather than scattering the logo across the entire piece, it is placed as a one-point accent, embodying that unmistakably GUCCI “understated assertion” of the time.

The longer fringes styled at both ends are not only decorative—they also sway slightly with every movement, creating a sense of visual lightness. Depending on how you wrap it, they can also add soft shading around the face, making this a refined detail.

This piece was produced between the late 1990s and the mid-2000s, and can be considered a GUCCI stole from the so-called Tom Ford era into the early period of Frida Giannini. During this time, GUCCI was defined by a balance that featured marine looks reminiscent of jet-set resort style, as well as an aesthetic where the iconic presence of the logo is added drop by drop—within pared-down simplicity. This is a design that truly encapsulates that sensibility. With no all-over logo or full-pattern design, but instead communicating the brand’s presence through only stripes and a one-point logo, it offers significant added value that allows you to keep wearing it for years, beyond shifts in trends.

For styling, simply drape it loosely over a basic knit or shirt, letting the stripe direction fall a little carelessly so it appears randomly—this creates vertical lines throughout the outfit and adds a subtle, genderless mode sensibility. You can also tie it neatly at the collar of a lighter outer layer; it will make the area around your face look crisp while serving as the “final touch” that completes a minimalist look.

Please consider this opportunity.
