Everything seems to be Gucci. The only thing that i am questioning is, that there is no leather strip for bottom of bag that seems to be on most Gucci bags I see that are similar and listed or sold online. Also, Gucci tends to use a more extravagant zipper on their bags, yet this bag has just a basic YKK zipper on it. Could It have been added on at a later date because the real zipper broke, or this is just a very old version of the Gucci Boston Bag? Was the signature 'Made in Italy Gucci' patch sown on? Not sure! Thats why I am here, to see if anyone can tell me if it is authentic Gucci, and if not does it still hold value for being an old Boston Bag thats in very good shape and can still be a functional usable bag today?
