responsabilite limitee organized and existing under the laws of the Republic
of France ("Marothi"), and Scholefield Goodman BV, a private limited company
organized and existing under the laws of The Netherlands and a wholly owned

common shares, nominal value NLG 2.23 per share (the "Common Shares") of
Gucci Group N.V., a naamloze vennootschap organized under the laws of The
Netherlands (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 17
without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule
13D.

ITEM 1.     IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

            Item 1 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

            Exhibit 1 to the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its
entirety as set forth in Exhibit 36.

ITEM 3.     SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

            Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

            The funds used to purchase the 1,012,854 Common Shares described
under Item 4 below were obtained by PPR from available funds.

ITEM 4.     PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

            Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

additional 1,012,854 Common Shares in transactions effected on the Amsterdam
Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange between August 1, 2003 and August
20, 2003.

            As a result of these purchases and when combined with the Common
Shares previously owned, PPR may be deemed to beneficially own 66,163,850 Common
Shares. Based upon 99,274,819 Common Shares which the Company has informed PPR
are outstanding, as of June 30, 2003, PPR may be deemed to beneficially own
66.65% of the outstanding Common Shares.

negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to the limitations set forth in
the Restated SIA and other legal and contractual restrictions (including under
the August 2003 Purchase Plan). Except as set forth in this Item 4, PPR

additional 1,012,854 Common Shares in transactions effected on the Amsterdam
Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange between August 1, 2003 and August
20, 2003.

            As a result of these purchases and when combined with the Common
Shares previously owned, PPR may be deemed to beneficially own 66,163,850 Common
Shares. Based upon Common Shares which the Company has informed PPR are
outstanding, as of June 30, 2003, PPR may be deemed to beneficially own 66.65%
of the outstanding Common Shares.

Artemis, PPR, Purchaser and Mr. Pinault and none of the individuals named in
