I suspect the outside's a coated canvas. The good news is this easier to clean than if it was white leather. This would have been part of a Spring/Summer bag
The leather top layer has flaked off the lining and left the backing which is material. It happens from humidity and many people vacuum the flakes off (which can get sticky) leaving the inside looking like yours. Gucci can replace it for you but I don't know if it would be worth the expense to you.
The trim is leather
Can anyone help me identify this bag and figure out how much it is worth? My grandma passed this past summer. She was such a wonderful lady inside and out. I just want to give her bag the proper send off by finding out more about it so I could perhaps sell it? It appears to be from the 60s and 70s era although I am not positive. My mom and I think she may of purchased it on one of her trips to Italy. I have looked all over the web to see if I can find one similar but can't. It has the mod serial number inside and says Gucci in gold. It's made out of lucite(I think) and white patent leather which smells great! The closure has the shield on it. I will try to post pictures. I would appreciate any help I can get on it... Thank u so much in advanced.
You would have to show us some pics of it inside and out
We can't estimate prices really, with Gucci it's what someone's willing to pay
Just wanted to share pics of my latest vintage Gucci bag, though age wise I believe it's from the Tom Ford era, so not sure how "vintage" that makes it
Beautiful black suede & leather trim shoulder/evening(?) bag with gold chain/ leather strap and gold hanging cat charm at the closure. The bag is pristine, perfect inside & out with zero plating loss. And the charm is solid and heavy. Love it!!!!!
Thanks for letting me share!

And here I thought that the tiger head motif was unique to Michele's new collections. I guess even he was drawing back on Gucci's previous designs! It's a very nice bag.
Also a bit off-topic, but... papertiger, who are you?! LOL your knowledge on all things Gucci astounds me.
as you can see from the photo below Gucci reuses inspiration from the past a lot. The inspiration for these 1970 silver bracelet/bracelet watch below (from Gucci Museo collection) are actually Roman antiquities, and as you know has been repeated again and again. On the Tom Ford bags, and more recently (also below stock photos S/S 2012) and most recently on the Dionysus and fashion jewellery again

Hello all! I just had this authenticated on tpf (thanks again papertiger!!) and in hoping you can again help me with tracking it down. I've been searching for something like it online but the serial number gets me nothing and searching for "blue and white" seems like a needle in a haystack hunt as well.
Idea on era and style? It's still so bright white and pretty! I'm excited to try to clean the inside (been reading those forums too...) since it feels like a dust bomb went off in it.
(Sorry the serial # image is a photo of a photo since my phone didn't save the original)

It looks late 1960s/'70s, and obviously a Summer bag
I don't know if you'll ever see another, as you know unlike lots of other leather goods brands Gucci change their styles all the time, sometimes every season
I love that you're cleaning it up and are gonna use it again
