Debutante Clothing :: The Deblog

On the Antique Score! of the Week, yesterday at an Antique shop in Carlingford (Co. Louth, Ireland), I found 2 1880s "flow Blue" dinner plates for 9 Euro for the pair. $11 For both.

At any antique store in Orange or Temcula I would have paid a minimum of $80 each. Score!

Sometimes ebay creates addictions, it is a little sad, but I too have fallen victim to it's evil ways. Recently I HAD to have these black leather ankle boots and would do everything in my power to get them including making an offer via e-mail and wishing that they accepted.

I am the winner!

OMG, I thought I was the ONLY one obsessed with Vintage Gucci bags!! ANd I've never even been to Italy, just all of a sudden, I'm spending hours on ebay searching for the perfect one for the right price!

Oh no vintage sister! You are not alone. And it appears that there is something in the water, because the addiction is catching on. It is an all out war for good, rare vintage Gucci bags.

after moving to a knew place,i stummbled apon a vintage gucci"accessory collectoin" wallet/clutch that i had found at the goodwill for an amazing $.50! apon buying it i was not aware realy that it could possibly be worth that much ,untill i got this brilliant idea to look it up on e-bay 2 yrs later. to my delight i found that my investment was well spent.Now thats were you all come in.it is for sale im not sure how much it is worth exactly but i can send pictures and all that graet stuff,and i will just except the highest offer

Gotta love those vintage bags. I have a Gucci bag from 1984. I was thinking of either giving it to my 13 year old niece or putting it on Ebay. I also have the matching check book wallet.
What's a girl to do. It's a honey color bag that you could only get at Gucci.
I'd keep but it's too small for me. While it's not a tiny bag, I know have to carry around "luggage" size bags. Im on Ebay right now trying to win either a vintage Gucci or Louis Vuitton.

I have a great vintage Gucci briefcase. It is circa 1985 with the red strip. It has a zipper across the top and is in great condition. I can't decide whether to Ebay it or hold on. They seem to be real collector's items now. I only used it for three or four years, but never noticed a serial number under the Gucci label inside. Have no idea what that means. Anyone know?

I have a vintage Gucci handbag in excellent condition. It is green suede with a bamboo handle and it has 2 red stripes with double twist closures on the front. I belive it was pproduced in the early '60, but I am not exactly sure. I am trying to determine the value but I can not find a single bag that looks like it on line. Someone please help!!

Does anyone know what time period Gucci used the enameled tigers heads as clasps? I am looking at the most amazing vintage Gucci coat but am having a hard time dating it. Also the guy wants $1200.00 for it, I think this is over priced what do you ladies think?

-Heather,
I found this passage in a 2000 article "Heads up! Chanel-style pale shoes with dark toe caps (as well as quilted leather coats). A Pucci-esque geometric print on a glitter dress. Whoops! Cartier for belts, shoes and purses trimmed with snarling jungle cats. Backstage, they were described as "tigers" and supposedly came from Gucci's 1960s archives." Here's the link: http://www.iht.com/articles/2000/02/24/fash.t_4.php

Does the coat look like it's from the 60's? Send me an image.

Hi,
I have a vintge Gucci bag, it's a one of a kind (aren't they all?!!) I was hoping you can (or recommend someone) give me an idea of what it's worth.
It's convertible 2 in 1, navy leather/silk handbag/clutch. What makes this bag so unusual is that you can change it from a handbag to a clutch by taking the leather outter off. There a slight markings
The inside is stamped Gucci 64, I'm guessing it's from 1964. The bag measures 9.6 x 6.75 inches, the handles measures 17inches from one end to the other.
I'm happy to send photos of the bag if it helps (and it's a really beautiful bag)
Cheers
