Good, I just need a pic of the script (where it says 'Gucci) Certainly looking more and more like late-1960s
, no doubt it's real croc. Done deal.The dots are from the hair follicles I believe
Nilo croc is from Africa,and Porosus from Australia. Both excellent but slightly different, Vitta will know which croc it is, she's amazing with exotics. It would be interesting to know which Gucci used for this bag.
the bag
Well, quite a lot more than you're currently selling it for if you can hold out for it
I always say the price of a preloved bag is worth what someone is willing to pay for it
.It's from the 1960s btw
Hey guys, DH recently bought me a superb vintage bag (mid 50's to 60's, according to PT!) The Ebay seller pointed out some 'powder' in the bag and gave us a discount, which I was very pleased about. Having recived the bag, it is beautiful. I cheerfully cleaned out the powder, but it seems to keep coming back - perhaps from underneath the leather lining? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to deal with it? My 80's GAC bags have a powdery lining that I have brushed and vacuumed out, but this is leather and I'm at a loss. At worst I will just live with it (it's not an everyday bag), but it would be great to clean it out.
I think your guess sounds about right. I wonder if the the shape is fortified by the use of a material, like hessian, between the leather layers, and that material has now started to disintegrate.
This has never happened to any of my oldest bags but I know the provenance of mine and how they were stored. Could the bag was stored in somewhere like a garage or lock-up, notorious for increasing temperature problems.
I've first hand experience in seeing lining 'dust' in authentic 1980s made in Italy bags from another very famous designer. It keeps coming back and appears to be some kind of padding, which has disintegrated. It's very dry and powdery, as opposed to the flaking lining which is sometimes seen in Guccis of a certain era.
Hey all. My mom just brought me this old (or as far as I can tell it's old given there's no serial number) Gucci bag to try to find out some info about it and I can't for the love of me come up with anything. Any help would be seriously appreciated!
Evening bags a awful to try to date (or name) but I'll try, I need a pic of the shape, the close up of the clasp and the most importantly the signature (where it says Gucci)
Hello
I'm looking for your advice or thoughts on this Vintage Leather Gucci Bucket Drawstring bag I've just bought on ebay.
I've just looked now and wondering if the bag is missing the push up tabs either side of the bag or if it never had any?
If it should have a secure push up tab either side to keep the bag closed once the drawstrings are closed now it doesn't have one will it remain closed?
I hope this makes sense and you know what I am referring to be 'push up tab'
Seen them on lot's of other vintage bags but not that knowledgeable so maybe someone knows for sure if it ever had them?
