Gucci History

Hi I am kinda new here. I am trying to find a way to view vintage bags from a particular year or year/season. For example I think it would be cool to get a bag from the fall 1974 the year I was born. However no matter what I search for I can't find a list of bags by year or season. Does anyone have any suggestions. Please help a newbie out.
 
Hi cc, welcome to tPF ad Gucci sub-forum

1974 was when Bond Film The Man With the Golden Gun was released and Brit Ekland was seen carrying her own Gucci bag that was unofficially called the Britt bag (officially she got a line of bags named after her in the '00s).

The bag relaunched (and eventually called the Blondie - also in the 2000s) was also around. Blondie the band was of course not around until the end of the 1970s.

The bag below was launched around 1973 but was still available in '74 (origin of photo unknown). It launched the '1973 with G-Detail' a few years ago...

...the same time Gucci relaunched softer bags also from 1973. The one below was a medium. The last 2 are available to buy but I can't see who/where because I'd have to open an account.

You could also search newer versions of 1973 or 1973 with G-detail (from AW11/12) if the original original proved too costly or not in good enough condition.
 
Thanks so much. As much as I love the bags I get intrigued about the history, when it was made and other quirky info. These vintage bags are conversation pieces. This history is what seems to be missing from many of these groups.
