This includes GG Supreme duffle bags, backpacks, sturdy suitcases, and trolleys with the GG monogram and the Web stripe. Additionally, the advertisement showcases new designs marked by bright leather details and embossed GG rubberised leather styles.

Elsewhere, symbols of the house will be visible around the city, while the purple rose print will appear on flags and buildings in Seongsu. Visitors should also not miss out on Norman’s pop-up—a North London cafe known for its British fare.
