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?

Thank you so much, Papertiger.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 patinaWell done for finding this beauty.
