Hi all,
I wonder if anyone by any chance has any information on this drawstring Gucci bag? Is anyone familiar with this bag like date and name perhaps?
Number on the gold plaque: V90663
Number inside the bag: 90663 and 204990
Thanks in advance!
It's late-90s-early '00s (or at least is in the style of them - we don't authenticate on this thread at all) so not really vintage.
I saw you have also posted on the 'authenticate this' thread. To avoid having your posts skipped, duplicate posts and similar questions are best avoided in future.
Thank you so much for your info!
Noted with thanks, will keep that in mind..
*I'm a newbie*
Sad story of leaping before looking removed!

Er, well, I can't take your post down, you'd have to ask a moderator. It's not Gucci, but it's not really fake either as it doesn't say Gucci, it's just cashing in on the Gucci logo cache (but they've turned the first G upside-down) but it's still very nice (prob from the 1980s) there are also some that are CG examples from that period that look similar too. These logo bangles were all the rage

Ah well, no one to blame but myself. At least the money went to rebuilding disaster stricken areas. And thank you for the gentle let down, PT. I missed the window to edit the post by minutes, willhave to ask a moderator. NOT GUCCI, SILLY RABBIT!!!
That's right, and I wouldn't worry too much about it, looks like real snakeskin, probably gold-plated too and as I said, it's not actually fake, just seductively (and legally) misleading
I know its not real gucci, but its real vintage - and if its real skin and gold, thats certainly something to say. I hope you can enjoy it !

Thank you both for your kind words, amstevens714 and PT. Still feel pretty foolish, talk about not seeing the forest for the trees! I was so focused on the fact that the Mod. Dep. ingraved part looked so much like vintage Gucci Mod. Brev. that I missed the emblem! Still laughing at myself
And, BTW, loving your bags amstevens714, I've meant to comment!

Thank you! I have a bit of an obsession with vintage Gucci right now
... They are so classic ! If only the interior weren't such an issue.
Okay, I've just devoured this thread (thank you so much Papertiger!) and need a little help as I haven't seen a bag with an interior label like mine yet.
(I know, this purse is thrashed. I still use it and love it. It was one of many given to me by my aunt who started me on the Gucci obsession. Those are her gold embossed initials.)
Any idea on the year? (The zipper pull has "Gucci" in script writing.) Is the 505 a model number? I had the strap replaced by a local cobbler as the original one fell apart.
Thank for any help! (WOAH!!! Sorry these are so big!!!)

1970s, and well-loved indeed
Could be an early serial number, I can't actually read it. Not because it's too small
but because it's too blurry Some luggage pieces had strange labels but since many were supposed to be sold as part of a set I think the label was deemed less important. I think you can clip this piece on to a larger one.

LOL @ Well-loved! Wait until I get up the nerve to post other pieces! You'll think I feed my dogs vintage Gucci!
I've attached another photo of the interior tag (and goshdarnit, I tried to resize this one - if I failed and it's still blurry, no worries. I TRULY appreciate what you've told me thus far.)
Luggage, hmmm? That makes a lot of sense. My aunt had lots of luggage even though furthest I ever remember her going is Palm Springs (about two hours away - we live in Los Angeles!)

It does look like an early serial number rather than a maker's mark.
Most early covered-canvas was part of a luggage range, it became more popular to carry as handbags with the GAC collection after 1979.
Your aunt sounds she like she was too happy with her nice luggage at home to go travelling
