Found this one at a flea market for $15. Lining was horrible - navy blue flaking everywhere, huge mess! Fortunately it was almost entirely flaked off, so a good vacuuming did the trick and now it's just the soft cotton flannel lining. Judging by the other bags the seller had, I would guess this is 1980s, but I'm no expert on Gucci.

$15? wow:biggrin: my vintage lv's flake too, and acetone nail remover does the trick also, and reveals a nice cloth liner underneath. congrats on your find!

Hello All,

I've been collecting vintage Gucci bags for a couple years and wanted to take a moment to post most here for anyone that might be interested . I just love the history that comes with each one. Many having been in existence long before me hehe. If anyone might want additional photos of any, please let me know. Sadly, I don't know much about any of them. Huge thank you to papertiger for helping me navigate the preloved market! I have one more I recently purchased that I will post when I receive! Thank you for letting me share!

Hi guys, I recently posted this bag on the Authenticate thread and was told that it was genuine. I'm trying to figure out when it was made, the name of the model, the history behind the horse bit (?) design, really any information at all about it. I'm really interested in the history behind the older bags (although I suspect this particular one isn't that old) and would love to learn more! TIA.

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.

You have some real beauties, each one has so much personality and a reflection of the era it came from. Recently, I have been more attracted to vintage Gucci than new.

It was layla's very special bag

I'm not sure if @layla328 even knows Gucci have just reissued the bag for Resort 2018 yet!!!!

I though this fantastic story deserved it's own thread so I started one:

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/tpf-find-makes-catwalk-history.966801/

The link to the original page within this thread is here:

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/gucci-vintage-information-thread.660420/page-63

It would make a great purseblog story
