Vintage Gucci Patent Leather Bifold Wallet Late 1990s Black

Slick black patent leather, high-gloss beneath city lights, shapes this Gucci bifold wallet — a silhouette stretched long and slim, punctuated by a silver-tone snap at the centre. The surface shows faint creasing and a scatter of light scratches, a record of its years in use rather than display.

Inside, black fabric lining backs a practical layout: six card slots, a slip pocket, and a zipped compartment for coins or keys. Hardware is minimal, with no visible logo; the crisp serif 'GUCCI' heat stamp on the interior is the only overt signature. The original box is included.

This piece emerged during Tom Ford’s Gucci, c. late 1990s–early 2000s — a period when high-shine finishes and elongated forms defined the house’s small leather goods. The patent leather’s mirror sheen and pared-back detailing align closely with that moment, when Ford’s vision for Gucci embraced both flash and precision.
