I have never seen this bag before...
Could you tell me if you know its name, or its age ? :smile1:

Lucky you!

I think this is a late-1950/early1960s (pre-'66) handbag. You don't give the dimensions of the bag but from the scale to your hand I think it's more likely to be 1950s.
It is made of Gucci's special pigskin (they were/are famous for it) and may have been touched up colour wise at some point.
The curved shape was based on a horse's saddle as many of Gucci's bags were and still are.

Very distinctive and very Gucci :tup:

I recently purchased a vintage Gucci Accessory collection. Outside of bag is in really good condition. The inside is a different story. It is flaking really bad. Has anyone tried brushing all the flakes out and then used dye or shoe polish in blue to make the interior look better?

Read through this thread I think its already been covered. Common problem with these bags (and some '90s mainline models) it's especially noticeable in the navy cw.

If you use dye or shoe polish you will dye everything inside your bag - guaranteed :D

That's an early 1990s bag in pigskin but a revival copy of a much earlier famous model of the late1950s/early '60s which itself was the 'missing link' between the now famous 1947 Bamboo Top Handle and the most famous reinvention 1966 version.

That sounds a bit complicated, if you need further clarification let me know :cool:

Wow, no joke! Thanks for the heads up. Been searching for a while and couldn't find a mention of the model/style/etc. anywhere.

I was just wondering if this Gucci bag is real and perhaps what is the name of the model. My mom was going through her closet and found this Gucci bag, she said she got it as a gift very, very long time ago, and she was told it was real, used it quite a bit. However, she said she was never certain that it was real because it had no serial number. I understand that some older bags may not have a model number. The feel and weight of the bag feels like it could be real, but I'm not too sure. Can you please tell me a bit of information on the bag? Be honest, my mom and I don't mind at all, we are just very curious. Thank youu! Here are the pictures:
