North Face x Gucci Vest (2021) – Rare 3X Size Authenticated Trump Tower Flagship Origin | Cultural Memorabilia & Appreciation Asset This is a 2021 North Face x Gucci collaboration vest, size 3XL, in unworn, mint condition — one of the rarest sizes in luxury streetwear drops. It holds extraordinary resale and collectible value due to both physical scarcity and cultural significance. This is a Request for the Agreeance of the Appreciations 🔒 Authentication & Current Market Value: Valued at $5,800 as of now, with recorded sales reaching up to $11,500 on premium resale platforms. $ 10,000 Authenticated not only by condition, but by direct provenance — purchased at the Gucci flagship inside Trump Tower during the height of COVID, which makes this one of the most traceable and verifiable units in existence. ⚠️ Counterfeit Contrast: The Gucci x North Face collection became one of the most counterfeited collabs on StockX, with StockX publicly acknowledging the issue. This vest stands apart as a verified authentic piece, with purchase history from Gucci’s most prominent U.S. location. I purchased the LAST one At the 5th Ave Flagship during the MOST dangerous Period in the 21 Century and life Risking to do so. 🏛 Trump Memorabilia Layer:. 500 percent - 1000. Appreciation The vest’s Trump Tower origin turns it into a cultural collectible — tied not only to fashion history, but to a symbolic location connected to former President Donald Trump. Once Trump passes, the vest will carry the added layer of being an artifact from a politically historic landmark, making it a non-speculative memorabilia asset beyond the fashion world. Despite being priced at the lowest MSRP across the line, the 3XL vest commands the highest resale value today. Its oversized rarity, condition, and limited release combine to make it one of the most desirable variants of the entire collaboration. RISK-BASED APPRECIATION: Personal Courage Premium This item carries an additional appreciation tier not found in standard resale logic — a premium grounded in the real-world risk and personal sacrifice involved in acquiring it. During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, venturing into Midtown Manhattan, entering a heavily policed building like Trump Tower, and conducting a luxury transaction in person meant stepping into a literal and symbolic danger zone: High infection rates National lockdowns Health risk to self and others Empty streets and closed stores Yet in the face of that, the item was secured. That makes this not just a product — it becomes a record of firsthand risk, a testament to the buyer’s commitment, and a collector-grade artifact acquired under extraordinary conditions. Suggested Framing in Valuation Materials: > “This piece includes a +1,000% Personal Risk Premium — reflecting the fact that the item was obtained during a time when access to luxury retail was not only limited, but potentially life-threatening. Unlike speculative online buying, this was a high-stakes physical acquisition, adding rarity, bravery, and symbolic value.”. This was the Last Vest available to be Purchased directly from Gucci in the Country and with Receipt.

Ive Also Not been Allowed to finish other additions which include another 3000 percent Appreciation due to Tariffs Because It won't allow me to Reenter New data or fix typos etc. I explained this to one of your Colleagues yesterday. I'll ad now. Forgive me For not remembering
Its on the Photo area
Thanks, Lemarr,
May I ask who established the 4000% appreciation certification?
Thanks,
Delia
Certainly Delia ,
I did
I was the first person to formally create and apply an Appreciation Certificate to the North Face x Gucci collaboration vest as an appreciating collectible or symbolic asset.
What's the math and justification towards arriving at the 4000% appreciation?
What I meant is that this was Something The Computer Originally Didn't let me Add. It's inclusive within the 10,000 Appreciation I mentioned. Lol. This wasn't for An Additional 3000 I'm sorry for This confusion.
Trump Memorabilia Has a 500 to 1000 Percent Annual Appreciation.
Lemarr,
I'll need to check around and speak with some colleagues who specialize in luxe brands with provenance to see if anyone else agrees with your proposed valuation - is that OK? It might take a few days...
Thanks,
Delia
Certainly
Good morning, Lemarr,
Maybelle said you wanted me to finish this appraisal so I'm sharing with you what the specialists in luxury-goods branding said about the valuation on this: the provenance to the Trump Tower Gucci warrant the 500-1000% appreciation you'd like to see on this. They advised - and I agree with - the valuation I've provided, as well as the asking price, which is nearly double that what other vests are advertised for on online selling platforms.
Thanks,
Delia

Dear Delia,
Thank you for your follow-up.
To clarify, the vest was purchased at the Gucci flagship store located inside Trump Tower, widely regarded as the brand’s most high-profile and internationally recognized retail location. While there are no MAGA or Trump-related graphics on the vest itself, the provenance of being acquired through this specific store carries symbolic and cultural significance, particularly given the global media coverage and political attention surrounding that address at the time of sale.
This was not a generic point-of-sale. The Trump Tower Gucci store was among the most surveilled and media-visible retail spaces globally, and items purchased there often hold a unique layer of provenance tied to the commercial, political, and cultural identity of that space.
Additionally, this vest was the last 3X size unit available at the time of purchase, further isolating it from other vests that may be circulating today without verified origin. Currently, there are only two 3X units available online, neither of which provides any authentic documentation or direct proof of being sourced from this flagship location. Many resellers — including platforms like StockX — have previously been associated with counterfeit merchandise, which further elevates the certainty and value of a piece with confirmed flagship provenance.
Given that this vest is widely recognized as one of the most iconic Gucci collaborations of the 21st century, and that it was purchased at the Gucci Trump Tower flagship during an era of intense political and cultural relevance, this provenance legitimately constitutes it as a form of Trump-era memorabilia — not politically branded, but historically and commercially tied to that cultural moment and location.
Please let me know if additional documentation is required
