More details on the free Gucci coffee, from WWD: "...the luxury goods house is celebrating the opening of its Fifth Avenue flagship with a novel marketing idea. Gucci created special paper coffee cups emblazoned with the 'Gucci [heart] NY' logo that also graces its new limited edition handbag collection. The cups will be distributed to 150 coffee carts between Third and Sixth Avenues from 42nd Street to 59th Street from Monday." Okay, not exactly novel—Tiffany did the very same thing back in October, but still. Free Gucci coffee for a whole week! [WWD, subscription req]
