Click to expand...

Is yours the one in the pic? Cuz that looks like a metal zipper end to me.....am I refering to the wrong part of the zipper? :confused1:

Oh wait....are you talking about the zipper part where you pull the zipper? Because that is leather....while the very end of the zipper is metal.

mine is not pictured. these are 2 diffrent bags. if you notice the left one has a metal gold zipper end, and the right picture has a leather zipper end.... the end where you pull the zipper from

I know the leather guccissima ones usually have the metal zipper and the fabric ones have the leather tag......

did you get your in store?

maybe the change the design over the years...

I got mine at the Gucci store. The very end is metal...while the part you pull is leather. I'll post a pic later to clarify.....

Weird thing though is that the guccissima clutch I have has both a metal end and metal pull part. I got this one in a Gucci store in Italy though.

Perhaps it varies depending on the style?

i have the medium leather horsebit. it has a leather end on the very end zipper (closing part, not the actual zipper pull), i will take a pic of mine tonight too. Sorry if I am cofusing you guys. Thanks for your help!!!
BTW... if you click on the picture on the right, the GG leather one, you will see on the right side on the zipper end it's leather. Just like mine.
I was just wondering why I've seen some with gold zipper ends and some with the leather one?
Also, those pics are of 2 diffrent bags....

I had a cognac medium horsebit hobo in smooth leather. The tab on the end of it was the gold with GUCCI etched in it. I think it has to do with the bag size or style because I've seen it done both ways. I actually prefer the gold tab. Looks richer to my eye.

I think the right term for what we are talking about is "zipper stop" but I'm not sure. Bit rusty on my sewing terms.
