Never used Gucci tote bag, model 40.02.015, with 1987 original receipt, and documentation. I found this stuffed in the back of my stepmother's closet after she passed away. The interior looks a little worn and I don't know if that is normal. There appears to be a small almost hairline tear on the handle strap, a picture of it is enclosed.
According to the receipt, my stepmother bought this Gucci bag at the Amsterdam Airport Shopping Center on 7-8-1987. I know she never used it because it still has the plastic tag on it although the paper part is gone. It still has the paper stuffing it was packed with as well as the Gucci draw cord bag for storage.
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
It is a beautiful Gucci tote bag. Such vintage designer accessories and handbags are being offered at auction on a regular basis.
Gucci is one of the brands that are very popular by both collectors and dealers. Your handbag is in very good condition and it is almost a shame that it was never used, however for the selling price this is very good. The fact that you still have the original receipt, the dustbag and information about where and when the handbag was bought adds to the value.
The design of the handbag was very popular in the late 1900s and early 2000s and it has all the popular details as the logo, and the stribed band.
The estimate provided is for a well-advertised specialised online vintage designer items auction, where I believe the Gucci tote bag has the best chance of realising its fullest potential. However, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the lovely handbag. 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
