History

edit

Aviteur was launched by Patricia Gucci in 2017.[6]She is the daughter of Aldo Gucci and granddaughter of Guccio Gucci.[7][8]

The name Aviteur is derived from the Latin words "avis" (bird) and "voyageur" (traveler).[9][10][5]

In 2019, the brand officially launched at Paris Fashion Week.[11][3][12]

After Venice announced its plans to ban wheeled luggage to reduce street noise in 2019, Avieur created wheels with air chambers to avoid noise pollution for this brand.[2][3][13]

Avieur opened a showroom in Via Bigli, Central Milan, in 2023.[14][15]

In 2025, Aviteur launched two new collections: Travel Capsule Collection and Newport Collection.[1][16]
