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?

Sorry, Tf, I'm not familiar with this model but my Gucci drawstring from 1996 has the 'pushup tabs' :shrugs:

Thank you very much for your reply.

In your opinion does it look like it should have them? Maybe it's just me I thought it looked unfinished without the push up tabs?
I feel the leather may have been cut at some point with the knots at the end.
The seller has just told me she's on holiday for 14days so offered to refund me my money due to this inconvenience and I'm now wondering if I should accept her offer.

Mine has four knots, each one on the end of a leather string and not tied together as twos (if you KWIM).

I suppose you could tie the strings further up to secure them, but that would mean quite a bit of tying and untying. That said, I do that on my well-loved (1990s) Burberry backpack to secure the push-up tab. I can't see or feel if someone un-does the bag waiting in a queue or on a crowded bus but with the string tied tight, some 'light fingers' would have to do a bit of tugging.

As for whether you should return the bag that's up to you
 
Dear PT,

At your leisure, I would appreciate any information on this bag. No rush whatsoever.Thank you again for authenticating it previously! I hope all is well! TYIA, doc.

Pardon me for my bad memory docringram, could you post inside pics for dating.

Looking at this, I can certainly see where the influence of some of the A/W 2004 Dragon bags came from regarding shape and those curved details ;)

Ugh, the web address for page 149 does not want to paste properly! And I never thought about the influence on the dragon bags, but you are dead right (of course!)

Thanks for the reminders doc :tup:

This is a mid-1980s GAC canvas and pigskin shoulder bag. This one seems in excellent condition judging from the photos. It may suffer in future from GAC problems with inside flaking but don't be too wary as it happens as much with storage as with use.

I will try to find out if it has influences from earlier times too.

Thank you as always! I was very fortunate with the condition of this bag, better than I even expected. Now if I could just get the strap to soften up it would be perfect. I will have to keep my eyes open for clutch-wearing opportunities!
 
Hi there, if you don't mind I would like your help with dating and authenticating my new vintage Gucci document holder.

The zipper is missing part of the logo, the filling is kinda chipped out on half.

The Gucci pattern is very small, and there is only one circle between the G's. Is this normal?

Looks like the "IV" was drawn in marker.

Thanks in advance :]

I do NOT authenticate on this thread.

Sadly for you, I am also on a break from authenticating until October on the 'Authenticate This' thread, but there are other people who may want to help you if you post on there. Good luck

Have any ideas the year, name of the luggage any information??
Is it worth it?....
Thank you for your help and information.

The suitcase is from the early 1970s, they don't usually have serial numbers ;)

As for whether it's worth it :shrugs: it looks in very good condition but that's for you to decide :D
 
Vintage names

Most vintage bags do not have names only model numbers

Some vintage bags do have names such as:

The Jackie or Bouvier, named after Jackie Bouvier/Kennedy/Onassis

The Bardot named after the French actress Brigitte Bardot

The Britt named after the Swedish actress Britt Ekland

There was also a Gucci Kelly style named after Grace Kelly (even though the Kelly is more associated with Hermes) which meant a box shape with single top handle and a staple for Gucci and could be made to order.

Grace Kelly also inspired the original Flora pattern and it was made especially for her in the 1966. 40 years later the print inspired the 2006 S/S collection.

All of the ladies who inspired these bags were regular customers of Gucci long before the bags were made.
WOw this no makes a me think...because I purchased a vintage royal blue, velvet evening bag with gold chain and gold G's markings on the front closure area. Without thinking that it can possibly be Gucci, I bought it because it was Gorgeous and like new condition. But inside it marked Flora on the Tag. Not sure what it is, there are no serial # or any other markings. I will look for it and post a pic...and maybe someone can help me figure out if its a goodie!!
 
Thank you.... At least now I know the luggages are in early 1970.:smile1:
Does it have a name? I am curious??
Any ideas the value of these luggages nowadays. Just curious!

It's called a signature print Web-stripe suitcase (set)

Value is down to how much someone will pay as with all pre-loved things ;)
