GUCCI Vintage Tiger's Eye Cabochon Top Handle Bag.
This vintage Gucci top handle bag is finely crafted of smooth black calfskin in a structured trapezoidal silhouette with accordion-pleated side gussets and clean leather piping along the seams — a piece of true 1960s Italian leatherwork from the maison founded in Florence in 1921. The drop-down gold-tone turn-lock clasp is centred with a polished tiger's eye cabochon stone, a defining decorative code of Gucci's 1960s and early 1970s evening pieces.
The bag features a single rolled padded leather top handle attached through gold-tone disc rings, a back zip pocket finished with a Gucci crest charm zipper pull, and opens to a leather-lined interior. Heat-stamped "Made in Italy by Gucci" inside.
Brand: GUCCI Model: Tiger's Eye Cabochon Top Handle Bag Condition: Good Condition Details: The smooth black calfskin retains a deep, even colour with the bag holding its sculptural shape well. Light surface scuffs and faint scratches are visible across the back panel under direct light, with mild softening and creasing at the gusset folds and minor edge wear at the bottom corners — typical patina for a piece of this age. The interior leather lining is heavily cracked and flaking — the most notable flaw on the bag and best suited to a collector or for relining. The gold-tone hardware retains a bright finish with light surface marks, the tiger's eye cabochon is intact, the turn-lock and zip both operate smoothly, and the heat-stamped Made in Italy mark remains crisp and legible.
