haha~ recently i got a croc gucci,but since it's vintage, i think Gucci'd prefer me to buy a croc bag straight from their boutique!
thanks dear! my pleasure!omg...limited lady dior!!!
here's my very first vintage Gucci crocodile lapis bag in burgundy( the traditional red called 'Russo Carminio') !
she is 40 years old young!!! i did a little search and found out this bag should be in the gucci florence museum.
here's what a gucci expert told me :"Gucci made these semi-precious stone and thickly gold plated bags for only a couple of years before more International commercial expansion plans and the increasing casualness of fashion took over (as we know Gucci became the byword for 70s laid-back luxe, with hobos and shoulder styles, the Britt, first designed in 1973 and popularised by Britt Ekland in the Man with the Goldern Gun (James Bond) using her own Gucci bag meant these PROPER handbags fell from favour (so much so Hermes was deserted). You can be sure the red Gucci was handmade from beginning to end in Florence, when Florence and not Paris was fine shoe and handbag heaven. "

thank No Cute!!
i found it from a second-hand shop which also has online site,but i didn't know about the shop and haven't bought from them before. the seller only provided 1 pic,even i asked for more pics,he only sent me another 1 pic,that was why i had doubt about the purchase.
actually i just wanted to buy myself another structured croc bag and didn't set any brands or designer.i was busy in the past few weeks, couldn't go for shopping,so i spent some time to google croc bags of some brands,such like chanel,celine,prada...etc and found this bag out of expectation!!
Thanks Suzie for coming again!! I'm still on cloud nine and is soooo happy to add her to my collection!!
thanks dear!! can't wait to take her out!!!
Thanks Pupuds!!! i'll take her for my summer vacation!!!
Kelly, that croc Gucci is absolutely breathtaking!!! I love the blue stone and closure. What a treasure!
I've never been a croc fan, but this bag absolutely took my breath away. The bag looks so beautifully constructed, and the color is just so rich, so gorgeous. The clasp has such amazing detail. The blue stone adds a wonderful pop of color. All in all, it's so beautiful! Congrats on finding such a stunning new addition to your collection!
thanks for praising!!
haha~ Katiesmama,thanks for chiming in again! i hope i can live happily ever after with them as well!!
