If someone could please identify this purse and possibly give it's approximate value, I would very much appreciate it! It is practically brand new and still has the original bag it came in. The last picture of the inside leather label says "Vespa Made in Italy."

Thank you so much! :smile1:

Just looked up their bags on their website brand new they are about $50 also the bags don't have names just basic descriptions. Such as shoulder bag.

Well, I looked at the Vespa website and I cannot find this particular style anywhere online. Also, I am pretty sure this purse was about $2000 when purchased (it was hand me down gift to me). This is why am so confused. :(

I hate to sound like a negative-Nelly, but this would surprise me a great deal, sunflower90.

I'm part of the classic scooter scene and have a very keen interest in branded accessories, vintage and modern. Most Vespa bags are 'scooter-friendly', so made of PVC or eco-leather and, frankly, they're designed to be replaceable - therefore, relatively cheap. Some items are valuable now because of rarity, but they were never expensive new.

The only way I could ever envisage a Vespa bag costing that sort of money would be if it had been produced in a collaboration with one of the Italian designer houses, and I'd think it would probably be dual-branded. I've been to several Piaggio outlets with boutiques over the years and I've never seen such an item for sale. I suppose it's possible, though.

The easiest way to get some additional info would be to drop a line to Piaggio and ask them. If there a was a limited edition, luxury line, then I'm sure they'll be able to fill you in with details.

Good luck!

Lips,

Thank you so much! Don't worry, you weren't being a negative-Nelly! I appreciate all the feedback I can get. I know nothing about purses, so thank you for taking the time to let me know about these things. :)

I will definitely look into Piaggio! Thanks again!

I bought this bag for about $1.50 and I wanted to know exactly how good of a deal I got. the leather is real and it smells really good and is so soft on the inside.
