Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

It is a beautiful Gucci handbag. Such vintage designer handbags are being offered at auction on a regular basis.
The design of the bag is as you say unusual for Gucci, but nonetheless as elegant as usual. The classic and smart design makes the handbag very modern and trendy. It appears to be in good condition without stains, tear or other major signs after use and wear. This is important when pricing vintage designer accessories as most buyers (both collectors and dealers) prefer items that have never been used, are in the original box and dustbag. However this is rarely the case. The handbag has the classic Gucci look with the modern chain handle giving it a new twist. I am certain that this bag will attract the attention of both collectors and dealers if it were to come up for auction.

The estimate provided is for a well-advertised specialised online vintage designer accessorise auction, where I believe the handbag has the best chance of realising its fullest potential. However, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the Gucci bag. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help.
Thank you
