Gucci unveils digital flagship store on JD.com to promote digital innovation

Gucci and JD.com have joined forces to unveil an official Gucci digital flagship store on the eCommerce platform as part of their digital partnership. 

This marks the first time the Italian luxury brand will bring its unique fashion authority and 102-year-old legacy of Italian craftsmanship to the JD.com community. The launch of the digital flagship store also underscores their commitments to digital innovation. 

With the launch of its new online environment on JD.com, Gucci will elevate shopping experiences that are tailored to the tastes of JD.com’s customer base and further explore the unique digital landscape of China using both brands’ respective technological strengths to set a new standard in online luxury shopping, expand their market reach, and pioneer original approaches to digital marketing.

This exclusive collaboration centres around an exceptional customer experience, where customers can browse the store’s extensive range of timeless icons and new-season ready-to-wear, handbags, travel, shoes, jewelry, watches, and accessories for men and women. They will also have special access to Gucci’s online client advisor service before ordering their desired products.

Users searching for “Gucci” within the JD.com app will be invited to explore the House’s official flagship store and shop for their favourite items. This will also include a full range experience of Gucci brand services, all within a seamless and secure digital ecosystem.

The Gucci digital flagship store on JD.com will first roll out a section of gifts that showcase the brand's craftsmanship and romantic aesthetic to celebrate the upcoming Chinese Valentine’s Day on 22 August. Featuring floral motifs symbolising the blossoming of love and emotions, the collection will also present a purse designed exclusively for JD.com customers to celebrate this special occasion.
