Christie’s Auction House to Value Gucci Vintage

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009


To restore the brand’s authenticity and fight against the online counterfeiting of its vintage accessories, Gucci is collaborating with Christie’s Auction House to build the “Gucci Collector”, a dedicated section on www.christies.com. Gucci Collector will provide virtual evaluation of Gucci vintage items that are potential candidates for auction. This online evaluation process will involve uploading of images of Gucci items that are owned by people seeking appraisals, for examination. “This new service will provide a trusted venue for transactions of vintage Gucci items, thereby avoiding recourse to uncontrolled auction sites such as eBay,” said Patrizio di Marco, chief executive of Gucci. According to Mr. di Marco, an online service is a noble way to provide access to original Gucci vintage products to a well-targeted audience.

Patricia Frost, director of fashion and textiles at Christie’s in London, will work with an in-house Gucci archivist in Florence to evaluate items for sale at auction. This new online evaluation process for Gucci collectors and customers is scheduled to go live by the end of the year, before the grand opening of Gucci’s museum in Florence next year and the brand’s 90th anniversary in 2011. The new project will assist Gucci in exhibiting brand’s rich archive of vintage items that have never been revealed to public at its Florence museum and enhance its cache of vintage treasures.

Are your vintage dresses craving for greener dry-cleaning methods that would protect them from the harsh perc, which has been classified as a carcinogen? Well, the wait is over, as more and more dry cleaners are adopting greener methods like Wet Cleaning, CO2 Cleaning, and Silicone Cleaning. These methods treat your garments with care and do not cause any environmental hazards. These are profoundly better for our planet than dry-cleaning which uses petrochemical solvents that not only pose a risk to the environment, but also your health. To preserve the sustainability of your precious vintage clothing, find a list of eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaners in your area with the help of NoDryClean.com.

LAV’s “Tagline” Contest Going DOWN Soon!

As you may already know, LA Vintage is a fully integrated recycling company that processes millions of pounds of clothing and shoes every year from the landfills. Out of this huge volume of relinquished items, our “green” team handpicks, recycles and renovates only the finest vintage jewels that are unique in quality and era. Thus every vintage piece sculpted by LA Vintage is distinctive and solitary in style and size, making it a one-time, rare collectible which cannot not be tainted by duplication.

Well, with that being said, LAV desires a refreshing motto that will perfectly convey our company’s mission to all the vintage fashion lovers out there! Our current short and sweet tagline “Where Every Piece Is Unique” resonates with what we deliver as a fashion company, but does not reveal the essence of LA Vintage, which goes beyond selling vintage pieces online.We want a catchy tagline that captures this very quintessence of LA Vintage.

LA Vintage is best known for providing one-of-a-kind vintage clothing and accessories.   So please get ready and put on your creative hats.

HELP  us find that perfect tagline which reflects the real LA Vintage!

The winning tagline will be used on our banners, advertisements, other publicity stints, and of course our website.
