This is much new compared to other older ones. Frankly it's been sitting in the dustbag since I bought it from the Gucci shop. Anyone has any idea what it's called and when was it released? And also roughly the price? I just keep worrying about dirtying the fabric until recently I'd noticed a stain mark, sigh..Think I should start using it soon!

Thanks for letting me share. I still have 2 other bags for your viewing pleasure but I'll upload the pics another time as I'm having some issues with uploading the pics. I'm now having to restart my Safari for every post

Thanks vm, PT! It's good to put a name to the bags rather than being serial number

I was going through my moms and great grandmas hand bag collection when I came across some old Guccis! They weren't in a dust bag and they didn't have any information with them. Here are some pics:

The first is just a late 1980s travel tote

The black suede is a Diana Tote from the mid-1990s

This is a sample bag from the mid-00s, it's a mini Bamboo ring hobo in red fox. I am surprised that Gucci couldn't tell you because they have all the info on the serial nr.

Red fox is one of the most delicate of foxes even furs in general, so please be careful .

Hello All!
I am looking for this particular bag. Anyone know the name of it? It was on Ebay last week and I wanted to bid but forgot! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please make sure to scroll down so you can see the image of the bag. For some reason I could not link just the picture of the handbag here.

This bag wouldn't have had a name apart from coated canvas original G-print and web-stripe 'envelope shoulder bag' from the Gucci Acessories Collection - and it would be 1980s NOT 1970s.

thank you very much for the good news :) it was so very helpful! i know, i was wondering why they couldn't help me even though i had the serial number. i guess he just had no idea what he was doing, lol. i'm interested in selling this, could you tell me how much it's worth? i'm sorry for all the questions, i'm just new at this.

My pleasure.

I'm not so good with pre-loved valuations because I inherited most of my old Guccis and bought my others new from the store but a new small fur covered evening bag would be about between $3-4k.

I will take you through my reasoning for the valuation:

Some models of Guccis keep their value but unfortunately not the Bamboo-ring (unfortunately for me too because I have a leather/web-stripe one). 2005 was a tricky year because neither Tom Ford nor Frida Giannini was creative director (even though Frida designed all ladies' bags from 2002) and so the Year's offerings don't have so much prestige as before or after.

You might also have to factor in that while people seem happy to buy exotic skins they often wont touch fur so that narrows your market further plus some high bidders wont want the writing on a tag or samples. Depending on the condition up close I guess you could probably get $3-600 bearing in mind the detractions I think it will be more like the lower end.

Probably a consignment store can get you that kind of money rather than bargain-bucket on-line auctions because they will have higher end-consumers who are looking for a special piece but then again I don't do much of either so maybe someone else can chip-in with the best place and way to sell.

Good luck!

Could you identify this please?

Hi ladies-
Could you please identify this? I won it on Ebay but I have no other info other than what the seller told me.
Thank You

Hello ladies,

I also won a bag on ebay. Does anyone know the name of this bag and maybe a general idea of when it was made? I see that it has a "Victory" zipper, but not sure if it is the original. Thank you :)
