There are collaborations that seek to attract attention and others, like this time, that are born with the intention of becoming authentic collector’s pieces. The new Vespa x Gigi It clearly belongs to the second group. The Italian brand, Piaggio Grouphas presented an exclusive version of the Spring 125 developed together with Gigi Rigolattothe well-known Mediterranean-inspired restaurant chain with establishments in such exclusive destinations as Paris, Saint-Tropez, Dubai and Miami Beach.
The result is a scooter that takes as a reference the relaxed atmosphere of the Italian Riviera and the glamor of the summers next to the Mediterranean, combining classic elements of Vespa with details created specifically for this collaboration.
A Vespa with retro aesthetics and exclusive finishes
The most striking element is its body in an intense yellow inspired by the Mediterranean sun, accompanied by an elegant ivory stripe on the front shield and unusual white wheels, a nod to the classic scooters who toured the Côte d’Azur during the 50s and 60s.
The seat upholstered in cognac tone with ivory stitching provides a handcrafted touch, while the equipment includes a front luggage rack with leather straps and a chrome rear one that holds a wicker basket, probably the most characteristic detail of this special edition. The logo is also missing Gigi integrated into the front, as well as tires with clear sidewalls that complete a clearly vintage aesthetic.
Much more than a scooter
As we are telling you, this collaboration is part of the strategy of Vespa to partner with brands from the world of fashion, design and luxury to reinforce its image as an icon of Italian style. In recent years, the Pontedera brand has signed special editions alongside names such as Dior, Sean Wotherspoon, justin bieber either disneyturning some of these models into authentic collector’s pieces.
The Vespa x Gigi maintains that philosophy, prioritizing exclusivity and design over mechanical performance.

Production will be very small, which further increases its appeal for collectors and fans of the historic transalpine brand.
Its price starts from 12,000 eurosa figure much higher than that of a Vespa Primavera 125 conventional (from 5,400 euros), but which reflects the exclusive character of an edition conceived as an object of desire rather than as a simple vehicle to get around.

With this collaboration, Vespa once again demonstrates that it continues to be one of the few brands capable of turning a scooter into a symbol of design, style and exclusivity, keeping intact the Italian charm that has made it an icon for eight decades.
