on january 18, 2010, gucci & christie's will launch "gucci collector: presented by christie's" - the very first gucci-certified online destination for authenticating & appraising vintage gucci products. anyone can go online & upload photos of their vintage items and submit an appraisal request. a team of christie's experts as well as gucci's own in-house archivists will provide an assessment of the item, and christie's will appraise the value of each submission. you can then have the opportunity to see your item to gucci, or in a future christie's auction, if desired.
