It's from the late 1980s and looks like a convertible clutch :yes:

Gucci often makes interesting evening bags that are made for one season only, this is more typical of the times rather than typical of Gucci

PS I did get your PM. I'll have to answer when I have more time :smile1:

This thread is so informative! I bought this purse the other day from my favorite vintage store. It's in excellent condition. Based on the info in this thread I'm guessing its from the late '80s? Here are some pics to show off the purse ;)

I do not usually gravitate towards red accessories, but this is gorgeous & in amazing condition! What a great find. I am partial to cross-body bags. So much more wearable & care-free.

Thank you so much, PT! :worthy:

I came across a couple of beautiful vintage Gucci clutches in a similar streamline style and size, in various leather combinations (kidskin + snakeskin, smooth calf + lizard) and they have the same Gucci Made in Italy oval plate and a cross zip pull. Can they be used as key features to identify their 1980s production? Or perhaps even earlier, the 1970s?

Great to know this pretty thing is a limited edition :happydance:

PS Please don't worry about the PM. I'm having fun and absolutely not in a hurry. Very grateful for your time and knowledge! :yes:

It's either late 1960s/early 1970s or a late 1980s/early 1990s reissue of the same style model.

Just gorgeous V :love:

If I find out which one of the 2 eras it is I will let you know for sure.

Sorry, it's taking me so long to get back to you, I've had some family stuff going on...

Wow papertiger, you are THE BRAIN. Just adorable. And admirable Thanks for the information. Do you know where German people have to go for getting repaired their Gucci bag?

:blushing:

I only recommend to take new and vintage Gucci items to Gucci CS for repair, that way it will always retain it's pre-loved value and Gucci will always be able to repair it. If their products are taken anywhere else Gucci will never touch it again (the same goes for Hermes). In addition, they can guarantee the workmanship and it doesn't always cost as much as people think. There is a ref thread about Gucci repairs.

That'll be great, thank you PT! I was also wondering if the different shape of the Gucci logo (oval and rectangular) could help to identify the circa. It would be great, wouldn't it? :yes:

Please don't worry about the PT. Luckily I'm here for fun, not for work :wlae: Hope everything's fine there at home...
