–SPECIAL– "GUCCI" 70-84’s oval hard case shoulder bag

From Gucci, which has established an aesthetic that balances practicality cultivated from its origins as a harness workshop and decorative elements embodying the spirit of the times, and which has integrated luxury into everyday gestures, we introduce a rare and exquisite piece where the beauty of wood form and icon resonate.

This exquisite piece features an elliptical hard shell with a glossy texture, quietly asserting itself with interlocking GG metal accents.

First and foremost, the main body is made of wood or designed to resemble wood with a hard material, and its high-gloss expression changes depth with each reflection of light, giving it a presence akin to a craftwork despite being a bag. Because it is constructed with an elliptical silhouette of curved surfaces rather than flat planes, the reflection of gloss is not concentrated in one point, and it shifts with the movement of the wearer, which is a luxury unique to this era.

Furthermore, the trimming uses embossed brown leather, softly outlining the rigid body to retain the strength of the shape while leaving a warm feeling that fits comfortably in the hand. The stable sewing pitch ensures details are not overly assertive, resulting in a balanced display where the material's inherent quality takes precedence, which is also beautiful.

The flap features interlocking GG metal parts, creating a contrast between the natural texture of the material and the disciplined metal, which clearly communicates the Gucci brand without overtly displaying the logo. Additionally, the imprint of ORIGINAL PRYM on the snap button receiver is important, as it indicates the hardware manufacturer used in luxury bags of that time, adding credibility as an authentic piece with historical background rather than a reinterpretation.

The interior is crafted from smooth black leather, and in contrast to the decorative exterior, the inside is designed to prioritize quietness, which makes even the opening and closing actions look refined. The hard case structure directly relates to functionality in protecting contents, offering practicality as a portable tool while also maintaining a sense of tension as part of the outfit.

Estimated to be from around 1970 to 1984, this is supported by the fact that the Gucci logo and crest embossing inside were widely used until the early 1980s, and vintage snap buttons made by PRYM are commonly found on Italian bags from the same era. Furthermore, the exotic wood and hard case design align with trends from the 1970s, and since it predates the more organized accessory collections of the late 1980s, this range is the most natural overall.

Regarding condition, fine cracks due to aging can be seen on the wood surface, which is a sign of the hard material aging over time. The precision of the metal fittings and the consistency of each part reassure that the core construction remains intact. Because it has a character that cannot be achieved with a brand-new uniformity, the visual clarity of choosing vintage becomes apparent.

Among so-called old Gucci, hard cases featuring wood motifs as the main design, like this item, are limited in circulation, and the greatest added value is that you can carry the craftsmanship deeply rooted in Gucci's history in the form of a bag. Instead of overly decorating in daily life, it adds a quiet impact with a single point, making the sculptural quality of this masterpiece stand out as the outfit is kept minimal.

In terms of styling, pairing with tailored jackets or long coats highlights the sharp curves, and adding to shirts or simple knits elevates the craftsmanship material feel, enhancing the overall look. For bottoms, coordinate with slacks or elegant long silhouettes, and finish with leather shoes or boots for a neat appearance. This balance of genderless elegance and mode tension creates a sophisticated style.

Definitely take this opportunity.
