Help Authenticating Vintage Gucci Bag

[readthat]

Hello and Thank you!

I need help authenticating this portfolio bag... The photo colors are off, it is more brown than shown, and in person there is some fading to the band where the snap is.

Best, Debbie

Authentic vintage Gucci IMO

Thank you so much!

I would love to hear from other Gucci aficionados as to the authenticity of the bag! Thank you!

I don't see any obvious problems but you (@jsales0) are much more skilled in Gucci than I am. 

@readthat - If you plan to list it to sell it, a $7.50-ish investment in a professional authentication is a small price to pay for the reassurance. You (as the seller) can feel comfortable knowing that you're selling the real deal and buyers can feel comfortable that they're getting what they're paying for.

It is good - however, as @albertabrightalberta stated, please have it authenticated to protect you.  Nice find!

Thank you! I am happy to spend the $$, can you recommend someone? Best, Debbie

Use authenticate4u. Castira also does Gucci but they don’t do vintage.

Contact A4U on their Facebook page and pay them by PayPal. The bag is authentic and a pro could help you see a higher price when selling.

Just testing. I’m having issues signing in again.

Thanks to both jsales0 and albertabrightalberta! The authentication is happening now, through authenticate4u. I'll let you know the outcome. Best!
