Gucci Vintage Information Thread

It's from the 1960s and one of the earliest examples of the GG print used on a handbag. Because of the pristine condition and the original packaging you may like show it to the Gucci Museum in Florence


Hi Papertiger, just to give you an update on my bag. Ie eventually managed to get an email to the Gucci museum in Florence through the Gucci website. I was contacted by the museum and they were very interested in the bag and offered to purchase it from me. However, after some consideration I have decided to keep it at the moment as I haven't had chance to use it yet. I have left it open that if I did want to sell in the future that I would get in touch with them. They couldn't give me any more information about the bag because apparently it isn't their policy to discuss these things.

Hi can someone tell me what this bag's name is and the possible era? I have been researching here and online but couldn't find much info on the bag. I wanted to see inside view and any info on the bag. Thank you.

I think that's a big mistake on their part! Perhaps it may need weeks of investigation. It's the kind of standard response that does not endear present and future Gucci fans (hope they are reading this). The fact the were willing to buy it means you know it's rare as they don't buy what they have plenty of.

Enjoy your beautiful bag :tup:

Well said PT! I’d understand their response for regular plentiful bags but given the rarity of the bag and original packaging AND that they offered to buy it, they should have done a bit more research. I know if it were me, I’d have loved the challenge of the research but I’m a vintage nerd... Well said PT, well said...

Hi @papertiger, I just bought a vintage Gucci bag. Here are some pictures I took. Please help me authenticate it so I can decide if I have to return it or not. Thank you so much in advance :smile:

Edit: Please add to the Authenticate This Gucci thread, this is not the correct thread for that PT
