I would like to know value and year. Thanks for your help.
WOW!!!!! It looks so good!! What a difference! How did you clean the webbing without it fraying??
I've been bitten by the Gucci vintage bug recently and ended up buying four different bags - I'm officially addicted!!
Here's the first one - what year approximately is this from? It's super spacious but the strap is super short and can't be adjusted or unsnapped. I was debating cutting the strap off and adding a detachable strap so I could wear this crossbody instead or use it as a clutch sometimes but part of me feels badly for changing the bag.... problems problems!

@papertiger can I ask for your expertise on this one? The inside is flaking a bit, not as bad as I imagined so I'm wondering if the bag is not really that old or was just well maintained. I'd love to learn about this old gal if you have any info
thanks

This is mid-'80s so it's obviously been stored somewhere properly.
Thanks so much
I'm going to try to still remove the lining since there are some flaked on my things but not a huge flurry.
Here's what I did yesterday! I followed earlier posts' advice on cleaning the flaking interior of vintage bags and it went better than I imagined. I used a bathroom tile scrubbing brush (pictured) and pulled the lining from the bag out over the sink to scrub which made it easier than scrubbing inside the bag. Initially I scrubbed gently but then went on vigorously which did not cause any issues/damage (start off slow as your vintage bag may be more delicate than mine). I dumped the dust/flakes into the sink because it was easier than vacuuming my bag.
Please be forewarned that if you have asthma or sensitivity to dust that this might not be the activity for you! I'm in no way sensitive but started coughing because it was so dusty! I couldn't tell if it was due to the flakes or that the bag interior was super dusty; it was probably a combination of both!
Anyway the flakes were removed and now I have this nice cotton lining. Check out my sink! I had to give it a good wash after but it was all worth it

I have similar problem @Bee-licious with my new-to-me vintage Gucci crossbody bag. The inside is flaking and my finger and nail always get small flakes whenever I put my hand into my purse.. I guess I would do the same as you did.. Hopefully it works, finger crossed.
forgot to upload the images
Particularly annoying in the darker colours.
BTW, have you seen this. This lady's bag may look familiar:

It will turn out great, you won't regret it! What I suggest is buying a mask to cover your mouth and nostrils while scrubbing the inside flakes off because it gets really dusty and kind of gross... good luck
Hi, I bought a Gucci vintage bag and I would like to know from what decade is it and if possible its value.
Here's the link to the bag: https://www.ebay.fr/itm/VINTAGE-AUT...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Thank you

Here’s another vintage! I love that I can carry this as a top handle bag and crossbody with the adjustable strap. It’s a roomy bag with structure and feet on the bottom. I was thinking of getting the LV speedy bandouliere but the 25 was too small and the 30 looked like a duffle so I decided on a vintage Gucci instead and I’m so glad I did. I saved a heap of money and this looks way better on me than the speedy bandouliere. Plus I love coated vintage Gucci fabric; it’s carefree and I don’t worry about the rain or elements.

Hello Papertiger! I was hoping to be one of fortunate people who could have your help identifying what bags I own?. Still waiting for them to come in the mail. The link has pictures of 2 vintage gucci bags. From what i was told they are circa 1980s, purchased from HK. I think the white one is a Jackie O bag and I have no, and cant find any information, on the blue bag. Im hoping you would know what their names are and what year they are from?
