Hi ladies!
I recently got a vintage Gucci hobo in brown suede and chain strap, it is over 30 years old. It is in a very decent shape but it is too heavy because of the strap. I am wondering if there is a place I could sell it? I would like somebody to enjoy it , don't wnat it to just sit in my closet. I don' t sell on ebay or anywhere else...
Thanks!

Thank you! I didn't mean to sell it here. I am not sure which website is the most reputable, but I will read Gucci forum more and decide.
Honestly, after I saw this bag on Sophia and Elizabeth I feel differently about selling it . I will probably send it to Gucci to clean and polish, and I may keep it afterall, this bag is history.

I was hoping you didn't, that's why I didn't delete your post.

I know what you mean about the history of the bag. It gives it a status that cannot be bought or made nowadays. Both Sophia and Elizabeth were big Gucci fans at a time when celebrities bought their own and were not just given. I saw Taylor's auction of many of her personal things, including Gucci bags (and jewellery) she must have kept them for years, obviously a great bag lasts forever :cool:

I so agree! Knowing that they picked this bag by themselves and seeing how harmonically it looks and compliments their style it is also a valuable lesson. Thats the way I feel now. I have always admired Sophia's look, what a remarkable woman indeed!
Unfortunately, nowadays celebrities often demonstrate us the lack of style. Not good, young girls will follow them blindly and make mistakes.

It's 1980s as you prob already know. It would have been for the Summer. There was a range of luggage with this interesting pattern on too. I'll have a look at my books and see whether the print was used before or was an introduced in the era

Also, the Accessories Collection was sold at Departments stores. It was in the 1990's when Gucci reined in much of the accessories collection and narrowed down the amount of skus (product) they offered.

Also, I forgot to mention ... The Accessories Collection not only had it's own designs but also the hardware, such as the zipper pulls & the gold GG monograming was unique to the Accessories Collection. I "used" to and can still somewhat be able to spot them just by seeing them.
