I've never seen a vintage Gucci label or box that reads "Gucci Boutique" before. Hope that isn't a bad sign because I just received this new old stock key case today. PT?? Any insight, my dear friend??? :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Hi Anasanfran, I am thinking that this is from the 70's, possibly earlier. Maybe the 'Boutique' Collection was specific to certain stores, but I've never seen the word 'Boutique' on any Gucci item. I do know about the 'Accessory Collection' That ran around that same time. It would be fun to take it in to Gucci and let them give you the history of this item... who knows, they might want to give you a King's ransom for it to use in their museum. I have a feeling that once you let this go... it will come out as a reissue and cost a fortune. I doubt it's a fake... who goes through all that trouble to produce a box and stamp on leather back in the day ? I think you have a gem... get it checked out... why not ?

Yes, indeed I am!!!!!!! I was in the ninth grade when that album came out. But my fav song by them is "Love Ballad" by LTD and J. Osborne (which George Benson killed that song after LTD). Beautiful song. Hey Jim, good call, my friend!!!!!! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

You are correct ! And 'Love Ballad' by LTD is my all time favorite as well. When you get a chance, listen to other Jeffrey Osborne songs like 'On the Wings of Love' , 'You Should be Mine' and 'Won't You Stay With Me Tonight' and a song when he was with the group LTD called 'Love To The World' He has one of the most amazing voices. I would be honored to be in consideration of being called "Your Friend"... I promise you that I will earn that right and privilege. I would love to consider you as 'My Friend' as well.

I need some help/opnions please :amuse: I’m thinking of buying a vintage Gucci Plus bag (with the plus written in the logo). I love the idea of having a bag that has some history. It’s a Gucci bag but not really a Gucci bag and I think it’s one of a kind. Should I do it or do you think it’s wasted money?

Edit: I hope I posted this in the right place

E7272CDA-561A-4724-8FAD-A6D6EF37C82D.jpeg Hello TPFers! I hope this is the right place to ask this as I couldn’t find a shoe specific thread. I have hunting down these boots and found this pair in 35.5. I am between 35.5 and 36, usually 36 in boots. The description says the boots run small. Does anyone have advise on sizing? Thank you!

It's fine I think. Probably part of the Gucci Perfumes (GAC)/ main Gucci way of delineating the 2 companies' stores '79-90

You have to temper that with the fact that at that time Gucci shoes and boots as a whole ran 0.5 big.

This was Paolo Gucci's line and not not related to mainstream Gucci.
