This is a suede G-print Boston from A/W 1975 (I have a bag from the same line)

Wow! I am so impressed with your knowledge of Gucci! Thank you for sharing, Papertiger!!! Did they come with Victory zippers? I need to have the lining replaced but don't want to waste a trip to the Gucci store if they won't touch it. Thanks again!!!

Hey, looking for some help identifying this bag. Looked online and haven't seen anything that resembles it. I was told it was about 15 years old, and as you can see in the last pic the only number in the bag is '47', any help would be appreciated, thanks.

It is a bit worrying that the zip is not brown like the body of the bag. I will check out my bag (I think the zip pulls were quite unusual and pointy and I don't remember 'victory' though although it's a smaller bag).

40 years old?! Wow thanks! What does the number 47 mean though and would you happen to know what the style of the bag was called?

Thanks again

47 is part of its model # and the only 'name' it would have had. Hardly any bags had names.

Interesting to see the styling origins of contemporary bags like the Marrakech and Brick Lane from this bag though

I would really love it if this purse can be identified. Are we allowed to ask for the retail value of the purse here?



Also, it has braided handles!

Can no one help with this one then? If extra info helps I can tell you I bought it in the sale from the Gucci store in Florence in 2004. Foolishly I paid no attention to what was written on the label (back in those days I didn't even realise the bags had indentities ) I'm thinking of selling it so would like to find out what it's called so I can do some research on what the value might be. Thanks.

Can someone pls identify this Gucci?

Hello,

Could someone tell me from which season/collection this gucci is?
Is it considered as a handbag or more of a weekender?

Thank you :)

Gucci Half-moon hobo with webstripe detail which one of Gucci's most rational and classic shaped bags originally designed for men in a travel size (Samuel Becket had one in the 1960s)

The hardware and styling suggests 2005 although I have never actually seen this bag IRL. Over 45cm would suggest a weekender

Hello,

I won this vintage Gucci clutch on eBay. It is stamped "Gucci Galleria made in Italy". Do you know the name, collection, and/or season of this clutch? Any information would be helpful. Also, is it normal for the gold leaf lettering to smudge with age? Many thanks!

Let me know if you get a chance to check the zipper on your bag. I'm curious if it's the same. Thanks again

You certainly get me doing my Gucci research goodric. I have no idea about Gucci Galleria, sound a bit fishy to me but since it looks like such a gorgeous bag I will try to find out something about it.

My zippers (original) are very distinctive: brass cloured, no writing, have little ridges, sharp and pointy pulls and with brown leather tags to make them even longer. They are also brown to match the bag so IMO the zipper in your bag was changed probably as a repair. Sorry. I will try to remember to take pics of my zippers for you to show. Please remind me again if I dont get back to you.
