Gucci Vintage Information Thread

[coolgrly]

You hit the jackpot coolgrly these are wonderful, I am not surprised they attracted a swarm of keen vintage hunters.

1. The first is from the very late 1970s or very early 1980s

2. Thus highly desirable bag is from the mid-1970s and is one of the last version of the design at this issue. Look after it well, it will be very hard to acquire another just like it

3 Early GAC very late 1970s-very early 1980s

4. I'm pretty sure this is a 1960s bag (not before 1966) I will double check this one. Remind me if I forget to come back to you

hi pt! i missed asking about this one. 1980s?

 

[papertiger]

Hello! Sorry, I know this may be the wrong thread but the right one is a bit dormant right now I really need to know soon.. I found this in a local thrift shop where it is common to find designer purses but, this one I am not sure about. It has no serial number and the inner lining is a vinyl. It looks like it could be from the late 70's or early 80's. Any info would be appreciated!

Mid -1980s (sorry for the delay but when I read you post first time around I thought you wanted authentication and I can't do that on this thread)

I have this vintage Gucci and I was wondering if anyone (papertiger?) could tell me its age/etc.? Thank you so much!

I am sorry to you too for not answering sooner, somehow I missed your post. Late-1980s Boston with a strap (from the travel range) Looks in good condition from these pics.

'Kelly' style

I found a picture of a reissue of this GG style on a sold sterling silver and gold plate keyring(?). It's from around 1983-5 (my mother has one of the bags which is why my eyes went out on stalks when I saw the pic.

thank you very much PT . if it weren't for your posts, i would be very clueless on vintage purses. is the keyring from 83-85 or the purse?

 

[coolgrly]

okay, this is the last one for sure.......don't know if i'll ever hit the jackpot again. i got this purse from about a month ago.........yup from the flea market. it was bad cosmetically. there were big areas where the dye had faded (i regret not taking a picture of it in this condition). i just picked it up from a local cobbler who dyed it for me. he did tell me that the GG logos would probably not be as prominent but i really love this purse and i told him to go ahead and do it. my question is if it is vintage and if it is, from what era is it from?

Lovely vintage Gucci, just added to my personal collection.

PaperTiger - your knowledge of vintage Gucci is amazing, thanks so much for sharing!
My parents are originally from Italy so we used to visit often when I was younger and my grandparents were still alive. I have quite a few Gucci and Fendi bags from the late 70s/early 80s that were purchased over there and are buried somewhere in my closet at my moms house. I can't wait to dig them out and put them to use again!

The keyring

Here is the advert/picture. Everything in this picture is solid silver and gold plated - I need to do some more reading to check on your bag. Photo from The Advertising Archives

If its real it's from approx 2005, check in the 'Authentic This' thread for piece of mind. The horse-bit print is from the early 1970s
