Thank you so much for your information. I've searched and searched and found nothing. Recommendation to go the the expert was a great one. I wonder if it's something Gucci special or not. Thank you once more. Enjoy your day.:D

Papertiger, I am amazed by your knowledge of all things Gucci! How have you learned so much about Gucci? Are there books about Gucci history you would recommend for those of us eager to learn more?

Practically speaking most of my knowledge comes from having parents that loved everything Italian (and then saying that it seems such an understatement, they really, really loved everything Italian) and for them Gucci was was the epitome of Italian style and so I have grown up with G things.

I would highly recommend Gucci: The Making of that came out last year. It costs less than cover price (rrp) on Amazon ATM and the the luxe version is really luxe, leather bound and with a leather slip cover too (I want) which is available from stores and Gucci.com. It's a book to celebrate Gucci's 90 years and was purposely launched at Gucci's museum. and includes the history of the brand, generally very informative. The pictures are great and the text is mostly well written (it gets a bit minor celeb obsessed towards the end). I love this book.

Has anyone ever seen this bag before? I am looking for any information such as age, name etc. I don't know if it is vintage as I cannot tell when it was made. The serial # tag states limited edition and there is a small silver plate on the bottom back that says Gucci. ANY info appreciated! TIA

Can anyone help with this Gucci bag I found in my grandmothers closet a few years ago. She gave it to me and its just been sitting in my closet. I am not too knowledgeable on vintage bags but I joined this site in hopes of finding out more info.

I have uploaded some photos here

It's a late-1980s coated canvas top-handle bag (it wouldn't have had a name). It's in very good condition but because of age the interior colour may flake so be careful.

I just received my vintage GAC purse i purchased online. I have been comparing it to other authentic purses and i feel like it is real. My concern is the hardware. Although its heavy its a lil faded, does this mean its fake?
There is no serial number but i understand that this collection didnt have em. The zipper is not gold its brown faded but has the YKK. There is a heavy gold charm hanging from the zipper but it is also faded! HELP!

Hi, I always visit this site (long time) but have never joined. I've owned women's upscale consignment boutiques for about 18 years and this is a first...I have a early Gucci green ostrich bamboo handle small bag but cannot find another like it. I've already authenticated it, I just need to know what it's worth or where I can find more info. It might have been a one-of-a-kind or something down that road but it's very rare. It's been stored in a closet along with about 400 other bags (lots of Gucci) and it's in fabulous condition. The only thing is that the front green has turned to an olive shade and should be restored but other than that, it's almost perfect! I know it's from the early 50's, at first I thought late 40's and it has just a 2 code number and the Gucci gold etching of course. Then, I have a very rare item...it's an olive green leather vintage Gucci BAG SLEEVE/COVER that you can put over your other bag?? It has the bamboo handle and yes, it's authentic. The inside has just the Gucci in gold but the buckle front signature is G Gucci. Anyone? Anyone? (She has another brown sleeve with bamboo handle but hasn't given that up yet!
