This is what the seller sent me.... Not sure how useful it would be. I do see some perforations which are usually typical of boarskin.... Views please?

It's an absolutely beautiful beautiful piece in every way, a rare colour for that time and in of one Gucci's (and Florence's) most famous leathers, but I'm sorry, it is definitely boar, sorry newmom.

I thought Gucci sub-forum should have an information thread here for people seeking knowledge on their own vintage bags and for experts to link in response for questions that appear over and over again.

All questions concerning authenticity should be posted in the 'Authenticate This Gucci'

Does anyone know whether Gucci ever used a repeating single "G" in diagonal rows on fabric bags with leather trim? I've seen a few bags with this look, usually described as from the 80s, on ebay etsy and elsewhere, but the pattern is so different from the more usual facing double G pattern and seems less common. Does anyone know whether this was ever an actual Gucci pattern for bags? Here's a link to one with the pattern I'm asking about:

Welcome to Gucci

It's a jacquard-weave, is it yours?

There are many variations of the G and GG weaves and prints through the years

Hi girls, I love vintage Gucci and just got a wallet off eBay. Overall it's in great condition, but there are areas on the piping where I can tell it will start to do the dreaded "crumbling". Any recommendations for particular leather protectant or products to help prevent the crumbling would be much appreciated! Thanks ahead :)

I hope this is the right place to ask, feel free to direct me if I am wrong!

Welcome to to Gucci forum

Interesting!

It would be good to see some of the piping so we can tell what you mean.

Is it from abrasion/wear or from being too dry do you think

Good idea :smile:

Here is a pic:


You can see the wear mostly on the top left edge of the wallet. I know from my other vintage pieces that eventually that part of the leather will start to crumble off.

Looks like it would be more due to friction-wear rather than anything else. Have you thought about buying/making a silky pouch so that when you carry the wallet it doesn't rub against things in your bag and be smoother to take out. This is what I do with my exotic wallets and it works really well.
