Gucci Vintage Information Thread

Spotted at my local consignment shop. Anyone have any background on age of this beauty? The price is right and I'm leaning towards pulling the trigger. Appreciate all advice!

Interesting piece but not very expensive in its day. It mimics some of Gucci's solid real 18K gold and sterling silver evening purses of the day. If it's a good price and you like it, go for it. If recent experience is anything to go by you may see similar on the catwalk any minute ;). Personally, I think it's very cute.

It's from the 1980s GAC line. GAC was launched 1979 to make Gucci accessories more accessible and was affiliated to their fragrances etc and sold in dept stores and airports (whereas Gucci's mainline was sold at their standalone stores).

Is there anything else you want to know?
 
Okay - this gem is so gorgeous in real life. Any info I could get on it would be so greatly appreciated. I absolutely adore it .

Thank you so much for any assistance you might be able to provide :smile:

Beautiful, 1980s lizard and lined in boar

This type of bag was first produced in the early 1970s and later, when Tom Ford was CD the 'Blondie' was created with similar hardware (but more interlocking) and the 'Britt' takes its inspiration from this idea too.

Hi! I got this bag at a consignment store, any idea of when this was made? It's lizard and the inside is the Gucci suede that peels to fabric (sadly peeling). I've been looking everywhere but can't find info on it. It has a GG gold tone chain to use it as cross-body. Thanks!IMG_0970.JPG IMG_0971.JPG IMG_0972.JPG IMG_0976.JPG IMG_0977.JPG IMG_0978.JPG
