Thanks so much for providing a timeline for this bag. So I now understand that this 1950s (earlier post) beauty was remade in the 1980s to 1990s. This was the missing link in the thread. I posted this bag in the ATG forum as well to get a stamp of approval before I purchase this bag. This is priced at $170.
Posting the vintage wallet with 2 Gs side by side. I've made some research over the internet and found the following (need help validating true or not):
1. Fiocchi snaps are seen on designer brands (e.g. GUCCI, CHANEL), and
2. This snap which has "FIOCCHI LECCO" on it is also the fact that it was made in the 1960s-1970s.
Could this be true that this wallet was made in the 1970s? If it is this wallet is over 30 years old and it is still a beautiful, usable wallet. Now that is quality.

If I assume 1979 is the year it is made, it will be 40 yrs old in 3 yrs time. Im almost afraid to use it now. Wow is all I can say.'70s would be my best guess
I have this older gucci with a crossbody strap, I found it from an auction about two years ago. It was nice to see many items in the same style in this thread. Great thread.
And yes, this one is from the accessory collection too. I can post pics of the tags inside if anyone is interested.

PaperTiger.... apologies for the super late response. You were 100% correct. The Gucci museum was interested in my bag. The bag is currently in Florence, Italy and will be added to the exhibit in the future. Thanks again for ur suggestion and your wealth of knowledge.Thank you so much for the info. Very interesting! I love the history aspect of vintage items. I sell vintage clothes and some handbags, most of the bags I keep for myself LOL!Its so fascinating to think of who wore/used the items and where they went with them. The treasure hunt is fun too!
I will email the Gucci Museo and update the thread with their response.

Thank you again PaperTiger!!! :urock: Happy Holidays!
That's amazing! Watch out for MIchele's using it for inspiration... Such a beautiful bag too.
So very pleased. You have a very rare and pristine treasure there, I can imagine all the time it took to hand-embroider all the pretty flowers. I'm so pleased you were the one to find it.
Would you mind if I posted a single full pics on here so others can see what we're talking about. (I'll watermark your name into it first)?
Sure no problem...post away . One of my earlier posts has the original photo bucket link with the pics. Use whichever pics u would like. Thanks again for your assistance and knowledge Happy Holidays!
This Gucci bag was given to me from my Great-Grandmother when I was 17 years old (1980) She carried it for years then gave it to me. As you can see it needs some work, but, I'll never get rid of it for this was my first designer bag ever, and it always reminds me of my Diva, Ms. Nellie Braccey!
Hello! I was wondering if you could help me date a vintage Gucci bag I miraculously found the other day. I know it's the Jackie Handbag, I am just unsure on what era it is from and I haven't been able to find another in this color!Thanks so much!
