Could anyone please help me to tell if this is real.. I read that you can tell just from the serial no? It is 347.02.033. And on the other side GUCCI Accessory Collection, MADE IN ITALY. I'm sorry for the bad pics but I dont have better:(

The bag looks real to me but its hard to tell because its so old.. the hardware on the handles say GUCCI and ITALY on the inside and has GG on the outside.
The little flaps at either end of the zipper has been cut off for some reason, and I think theres a thing missing from the zipper when I look at pics of other bags. And also on other bags, Ive seen the metal piece on the front looks different and on some bags it's not even there. But I've read that vintage bags often look a little different. What do you think?
Otherwise it looks good to me, the lining is kinda worn though, does anyone know if you can fix it?
I uploaded the pics on imageshack because the other thing wont work for me..

Hi everyone! I am new to TPF and have spent a good amount of time explorinig the site, and I think you ladies can help me. My boyfriend bought me the Gucci medium bouvier bag with the brown leather trim and red/green stripe down the front. I think it is beautiful of course, but I am unfortunately in love with the vintage Gucci styles. He has given me the option of picking a different one if I prefer and since I don't know where else to find the vintage styles, I turned to ebay. I was hoping someone can help me authenticate any/all of them? I have to be honest in that I don't really know what to look for in the vintage bags. Comments on styles would also be appreciated!

HI - All those bags were authentic fyi. With the Vintage bags, beware of sloppy stitching, incorrect color ribbon and cheap connecting hardward on straps and handles.

I am not a gucci expert, however I do own an authentic vintage gucci w/the small g's in this color, it is hard to tell from just the one photo, but the color of the leather does look right. It should have a tanish/beigeish lining.(it is a soft suedish type lining that usually has some peeling to it in gucci's of this age) Also it should have a tag on the inside as well. Mine is a leather tag of the same color as the leather on the outside with a gold metal looking lable on top of the leather tab that has symbol and Gucci and underneath the Gucci in smaller font all caps is the MADE IN ITALY. Mine also has the gold interlocking G's on the front on a piece of leather like the one you have pictured. I hope this is of some help to you.

Hi - I can post more Monday, but I am leaving work for the day. I sold Gucci at Macy's for 3 years, then I worked for Gucci for a year and had Corporate Training. I can usually just look at a bag, and I know many of the styles. I know that doesn't help much. You have to know what the real ones look like first, then the fakes are VERY obvious. Have a great weekend!!!!
