Gucci Vintage Information Thread

Hi, I am having a terrible time finding information on a bag I purchased . It is simple and box like it has highly polished chrome lock on the front and a short handle drop. I think it may be from Tom Ford's line. Can you help me?

Hi Papertiger,
I posted these pictures on the 'Authenticate this Gucci' thread & another thread (just realized that was a wrong thread!) but I guess because it's vintage I've not received a reply. I'd greatly appreciate if you could help with any info about the bag in regards to date or name or any info about. I'm so curious!! TIA


While I was waiting on the replies on both the threads, I read most of your thread here & going by the information here I know now that not all Gucci bags have a serial #. I was worried as this one doesn't & correct me if I'm wrong I think this is a small Boston bag from Mid 1980's.


If I'm right, give yourself a pat on the back, as all the great information you have provided on this thread has helped me reach this conclusion.


If I'm wrong, I promise I'll pay more attention & read the thread again. :)


It measures 10.5" L x 7.5" H x 4.5" D

I also would be interested to learn name and date of this one. And is this from the men's collection?

Papertiger, it would be great if you could help me. Or anybody else. ;)
 
Hey,
I would like to know what is the difference between bags with serial numbers 98.02.004 and 98.02.005 from the Accessory Collection from the 1980's. The look like the same to me.

Thanks!

It's a Boston, but it's from the 1970s

The black just a small travel bag from around 1990

The second is much, much older and is a 1950s (post-1953) pigskin shoulder bag. The bag is the original model Frida based the Horse-bit Shoulder Day bag (of which I have 2) when she became creative director of accessories in the early '00s, although she exaggerated the horse-bit to (horsey) life-size proportions. The Emily and the Catherine have had the same iconic small bit detail.

Pigskin is one of 2 traditional Florentine leathers, that Gucci became World famous for. You will see how fab this skin looks, feels and lasts, the shine comes from years of patina :tup: Well done for finding this beauty.

Thank you so much for the information!!!

The second one actually is in a sort of fragile state regarding the strap. After reading your post, I think it might be worthwhile taking it to Gucci for a replacement, because the rest is really impeccable. There is even this little leather strap attached to the zipper. Only that I am a bit reluctant to give it away for so long.

I like the black one nevertheless. And it is going with me on travel end of the week to Barcelona. Checking the vintage stores. ;)


Big thank you!!
 
Blast from the past

Sophia Loren with an original 1970 :love:

...and here's Elizabeth Taylor with her 1970 in 1973

Taylor was such a wonderful ambassador for the company, wearing her bags as part of her costumes in films as well as in public, including Ash Wednesday when she wore this bag
