Hi PT.. want to let you know this thread is amazing!! been learning alot from reading this thread! I came across a vintage Gucci and was wondering if anyone could help me date this bag.. the seller is guessing it's from the 80s.. thanks in advance!
This vintage Gucci also contains a key to open the bag. I suspect it is from the 1950's because of the logo. Is it exclusive, rare? What is the approximate value?
This vintage (? 80s) camel horse bit beauty is making its way to me. I might still need to get the canvas version with brown trim though!

You’re an incredible fountain of knowledge and as ever so helpful and articulate. Thank you.Late '60s early '70s. later they didn't bother with the craftsman's stamp (Mr/Ms. 42) I can tell the date too from that particular fine horse-bit style because similar hardware on a pair of ladies heeled loafers that are early 1970s.
As you can see it's related to the 1955 and is one of those bags that gets revived for every generation, 1980s included. Frida did them with the oversized horse-bits and called them the Horse-bit Chain (Shoulder) bag in a stamped leather in the '00s but it's the same bag essentially.
Get both. Keep both!!

The bag arrived but it was smaller than stated- the seller’s measurements were the same as the current, revived version but they were smaller in real life. So it’s not love and going back, sadly. I will try and get a new one though, cannot wait for this!
Thank you again for the wonderful wealth of information, I love this thread. The visuals are also
stunning. Trying to get through a bit, every day.

Bagaholic101 said it was made no later than 1970s
What can I do to improve it's condition?
Thank you!!
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!View attachment 4526762 View attachment 4526763 View attachment 4526765 View attachment 4526761
Is it not pecari?Slightly later. You'll need to feed it, it's very dry.
It would have been aimed at guys. Typical Gucci, not particularly rare and certainly not exclusive but very classic and lovely to have.
I joined this forum many years ago and forgot all about it until I came across it again. I'm a collector with approximately 700 pieces in my collection. I'll share a few photos.
