Here are some 1970s vintage ladies' shoes that are based on the loafer that are in my collection

Sorry for how small the pic is

:woohoo: you found a wonderful pic of peter Sellers, who as we know was a HUGE Gucci fan for decades, well done for finding that

I have seen Audrey Hepburn wearing Gucci Loafers so I'll find that one over the weekend. Lovely pic of her too though.

Although the pre-Gucci 'Penny Loafer' is associated with 1950s preppy americans, the honed down style originated from Norway in the 1930s and was originally for indoor use only

Here are some pics of the talented and beautiful Jodie Foster wearing her Gucci loafers at the hight of their popularity in the 1970s (I wish they'd bring back the 2" heel version)

These are fantastic pics (Jodie, PS, and AH)! Thanks for sharing, everyone!

Oh thanks, I didn't know that!

Yes the 2'' heel version looks great on Jodie. She was a cool girl.

It has been well over a month since I brought my vintage Lady Lock into Gucci to be sent out for repair, and two phone calls later, no indication of where it might be. Both times the store has told me that as soon as it hits the repair center, they should know. This doesn't really help.

Getting anxious, since I assumed they would handle their shipping more professionally (apparently, there isn't even a tracking number associated with the package). Hoping they use their own courier and I will hear back soon... anyone have experience with sending items to Gucci's US repair center for assessment? Is this at all typical?

Not US repair, but I brought my vintage bag to Gucci Hamburg, Germany, for repair. They are sending it to Italy, and the SA already told me that it will take quite some time. They will notify me only, when they have a quote or decided that they can't repair it. She guestimated 6 to 8 weeks.

Shipping from the US to Italy (do they send it there?) should be even longer?

I was told they are sending it to a facility in New Jersey for assessment, which should have taken a matter of days from my location. I suppose it's possible that they haven't gotten a quote together yet, but we are now at the 7 week mark. I was told by my SA to expect to hear back in 3 or 4 weeks, but my repair ticket does say 6-8 now that I look at it. I'll wait until after the 9 week mark has passed to panic. Thanks.
