A truly stunning vintage condition Gucci calf leather purse. The item is structurally sound with no lose threads, rips or tears. The leather on this piece is nearly pristine. It is a piece that I will likely never see again in this condition. There is some very minor wear on the straps where they attach to the hardware at the sides. The hardware is pristine with very minor hairline scratches. Interior of bag is clean with no stains/rips or tears along with the single pocket. Lamb leather interior is supple. Zipper on interior is fully functioning. Small leather pocket at interior is also remarkable. Corners and bottom of bag are immaculate.
Comparable items: Comparisons for this piece are a bit challenging as these items are rare. There is a somewhat similar era pieces on Fashionphile ranging from $2100-2800CDN.
Comes with: 100% cotton dust cloth and Entrupy authentication certificate
Details: This is such a special piece and would do well with a true vintage lover. Vintage Gucci bags from this era feature timeless shapes and will stand the test of time structurally speaking. Gucci is often left out of the 24k gold plated hardware discussion but the pieces from this era are also gold plated. If we had to pick one navy blue leather bag for our personal forever collection, it would be a Gucci. This piece is likely around 60-75 years old and still functions with no issue which is a nod to impeccable craftsmanship from the house. Would look great with jeans and a t-shirt, a layered fall wool coat, tailored suit or a linen dress for some styling ideas. Timeless, effortless and a true beauty. An easy piece to dress up or down. Fits an iPhone and all the goodies you need.
