Gucci Rare Vintage Tom Ford Mint Blue Lurex Metallic Bowler Bag - Gold Trim (Style 000-0852) Listing currency in HKD. Settling in the listing currency will help you minimize platform conversion fees. Highly sought-after archival piece: the rare vintage Tom Ford for Gucci Lurex Mini Boston / Bowler Bag. Featuring an iconic, discontinued mint-green/light blue monogram canvas beautifully woven with shimmering Lurex metallic threads that shift colors dramatically with light, this early 2000s piece is a dream find for collectors of rare, Y2K-era luxury. This piece perfectly encapsulates the sleek, millennium-glamour sophistication of Tom Ford's legendary tenure at Gucci, showcasing the house's absolute mastery in innovative textiles. Moving away from standard everyday canvas, this elusive bowler bag embraces a fresh, artistic aesthetic with screen-woven metallic motifs that dynamically pop against the classic GG monogram grid. It serves as an exceptional styling piece, instantly elevating a casual ensemble, functioning as an effortless top-handle statement bag or serving as a chic vintage catch-all. This exclusive seasonal variation was released in limited quantities and has long been completely sold out at boutiques worldwide. Finding this iconic silhouette in this highly coveted color configuration makes it a spectacular addition for serious luxury curators who value craftsmanship heritage, Tom Ford era exclusivity, and practical daily functionality. • Material: Premium durable Lurex metallic GG monogram canvas body, genuine metallic gold leather structural panels and handles, and fully integrated high-shine zippers. Fully lined interior compartment with premium woven textile fabric and polished metallic hardware accents. • Design & Silhouette: Iconic Gucci Mini Boston / Bowler silhouette featuring an exceptionally versatile, compact structure. This exclusive extension of the house's early-2000s line blends signature Italian trunk-making DNA with a fluid, lightweight body. The bag presents a clean, structured rectangular shape with a flat, rigid base and dual top handles for classic hand-held or forearm carry. • Details: Secure top-zipper closure featuring a polished zipper track that anchors the bag's sleek geometric frame. Beautifully defined by dual asymmetric, diagonal front zippered pockets that give the bag its signature utilitarian edge. Features a micro-engraved Gucci logo plate on the front canvas. The interior compartment is surprisingly roomy for its size, designed to effortlessly organize a phone, keys, wallet, makeup, and daily essentials. • Approximate Dimensions: Width: 26 cm Height: 15 cm Depth: 8 cm Handle Drop: 10-12 cm • Condition & Vintage Note (Please Read Prior to Purchase): Overall great vintage condition. This archival piece has been beautifully preserved over the years; however, as with all true vintage items, it naturally showcases mild cosmetic characteristics from age and long-term storage. This piece is perfect for those who appreciate authentic vintage charm rather than a flawless, brand-new store product. - Previous Restoration & Leather Finish: To beautifully refresh and preserve the bag's metallic appearance, this piece has previously undergone professional, selective color maintenance strictly confined to the handle areas and sections of the edge and piping. While the bag's gold leather originally features a high-gleam, foil-like finish, the previously refreshed areas now feature a premium metallic satin finish. This results in a very slight, blended textural difference upon close inspection, offering immediate styling functionality and wearability. - Zipper & Hardware Aging: True to its vintage nature, the main zipper features a flexible nylon coil track that remains completely strong and structurally intact. The fabric zipper tape shows uniform, age-related tonal fading to a subtle champagne/silver-grey vintage patina. There is natural discoloration running alongside the track; this is entirely cosmetic and stems from a mix of vintage metallic thread oxidation and original factory leather adhesive that has naturally darkened over time. Please note that the gold metallic coating on the zipper teeth shows localized fading in some areas—please refer to the detailed photos. The metal zipper pull remains highly shiny, displaying only minor surface hairline scratches. The zipper track glides smoothly and functions flawlessly. - Canvas & Structural Integrity: The premium Lurex woven canvas body remains exceptionally strong, clean, and free of structural flaws. The main body fabric remains remarkably bright and crisp, showing only minor thread pulls from vintage storage. Its unique, shifting holographic metallic properties are perfectly preserved. The interior textile lining is clean. • Archival Significance & Collector's Note: - The Tom Ford Era Aesthetic: Released under the creative direction of Tom Ford (who led the house from 1994 to 2004), this bag reinterpreted archival monogram concepts with a high-octane, glamorous twist. It masterfully balanced historic Italian craftsmanship with the metallic, logomania-driven aesthetic that defined the Y2K luxury boom. - Rare Material Exclusivity: Unlike permanent canvas or full-leather Gucci bowler variants, the Lurex monogram collection was produced in a strict, single-season run. Today, collectors heavily favor this specific piece because it represents an unrepeatable, highly sought-after chapter of Tom Ford's design provenance. • Inclusions: Vintage Gucci Silky Monogram Dust Bag *Remarks: - Actual colors may vary slightly due to lighting and monitor settings. - To combat Hong Kong's high humidity, some of our pieces are stored with specialized moisture-absorbing packs. These impart a slight, clean/soapy protective scent that may linger with the item. While there may be a faint aroma initially, it will naturally fade with use. Please note this is a preventative storage measure. We do not use perfumes or other chemicals that could harm the materials of our pieces. Thank you for your understanding.
