Ibinzana elithi "lesanti liyaphuma" livele ngenxa ye-16 yenkulungwane. Kwaye inokusebenza kuphela kumadoda. Kwiminyaka engama-477 eyadlulayo, ngo-Epreli 10, 1536, ngexesha lotyelelo lweNgilani, iDubrizio Bogna ibetha inkosi henry viiin kunye noyilo lweGulfi. UKumkani uHeinrich VIII wayithanda le nto, kwaye wayezamkela.
Ekuqaleni, uGulfiik wadalwa ukugubungela izilwanyana. Kodwa ngokuthe ngcembe yajika yaba ziinkcukacha zefashoni. Ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane ye-16, uGulfik wakhulela ngobukhulu, waba nokuhombisa, enyusa ubungakanani bamalungu obuni. I-Gulfiki ifakwe kwindwangu ebizayo njenge-velvet kunye nesilika, yandiswa ngemisonto yegolide kwaye ihonjiswe ngeeperile, ihombo, amaimbambe, amatye axabisekileyo.
Ezinye iiGulfiki zazibhekiswa phezulu. Ukugcina ifom "yokuma", ilaphu laphindaphindeka kwaye libekwe, uninzi lwale ndawo ezimbalwa. Ukwenza umbono malunga nobungakanani obunomtsalane kwisidima sakho kwaye ujongeke ngakumbi kwisini esahlukileyo, abanye abantu bade basebenzisa iGulfiki njengohlobo lwepokotho, ukufihla imali encinci kunye nemali. Kwaye ubunzima bom-wallet kwaye ukuxinana kweengqekembe zokupakisha kwakuthetha kakuhle ngeenzuzo zoyisi. I-HulFek ngoku yayigxininisa, kwaye ayifihli.
Amadoda loloyiso, owayengenazo amaxabiso aneleyo nemali, azibeka kwiingxowa ze-Gulfik nge-hay, i-sawdust, iinwele zehashe, ingca kunye nesanti. Kodwa isanti ehlala indawo ekhokelayo kwaye yeyona nto ithandayo ukunika uGulfi. Kwaye, ke, ngexesha lokudanisa nenenekazi, okanye, kubi, i-velon ehlaziyiweyo (engafihlikiyo kwindimbane yokudanisa) ibhegi yakuqala ukuya kungena phantsi. Emva kwento engekhoyo enjalo, ibinzana lavakala lisithi: "Kuyo, isanti sele iphakanyisiwe, kwaye ayinako ukuthoba."
