Gucci Vintage Information Thread

Does anyone know what year or era this Gucci Jolicoeur mini is from? I recently purchased it from Fashionphile. The charms, esp. the clutch charm, make me think Tom Ford era but perhaps not.

Thanks for the help!

Hello fellow vintage lovers, I just bought this vintage Gucci bag- I have not received it yet but I am already Thinking about how I could polish this baby up.
How would you care for the leather parts? Should I use leather conditioner? Leather sheen?
Any experience with dying this kind leather?

Don't dye it. A neutral leather creme with or without beeswax will be all that's needed. It's probably boar so sheen comes with use and being well cared for and not artificially.

Identifying Zumi's ancestors

Awesome! I actually don't remember this at all. Of course, my obsession didn't start until the 80's Bostons that we all had back then. Lovin' this, PT. I thought this emblem was a new thing. See...you always managed to school me!!

There's always more things to learn about Gucci, for me too of course. You have a very fine collection.

One thing we have all learned through the years as this thread has progressed is that Gucci often bring variations of the same model every 10 - 20 years. The 'Padlock' bag came out in the 1950s, then in the 1980s, again the in the 1990s and once again 2015. Next year they will be bringing the horse-bit back so be on the lookout for older versions of those. It's not the giant horse-bit of the 00s which I also like but a very ladylike scale.

In 2 years time Gucci will be a century old. We all need to start saving, especially me.

Hi I have just purchased this bag from Ebay and wondered if you could tell me a little more about it please. I think it was made in the 1960's but I am not sure

Now this is AMAZING! Hold on to that puppy!!

Hi! I’m new to this and just purchased this vintage Gucci yesterday. I’ve been looking online but haven’t been able to find much information on the history/ name of this bag. Does anyone know? Thank you.

This bag is from the Accessory Collection. Does anyone know what year it’s from? Or how to clean the leather?

Hello! Just purchased this vintage leather bag and was hoping someone could help put an approximate year to it. From what I’ve read in this thread I’m guessing 70s? Any insight is appreciated, thanks!
