Vintage Gucci Set 2

VINTAGE GUCCI 2 PIECE SET JET SET WEEKENDER CARRYALL GYM BAG AND A MATCHING TOP HANDLE HANDBAG ACCESSORIES TOTE DOUBLE HANDLE SHOULDER BAG
Includes: Duffle Bag and Shoulder Handbag Set

Designer:  Gucci
Material:  Canvas, Leather Trim
ID: Pre-serial Numbers
Marked "Gucci Italy" in gold lettering inside smaller bag. The larger bag's lettering has worn away but there are two cloth labels sewn in seams that read "Made in Haiti" which I researched and interesting enough this is attributed to Paolo Gucci (one of GG's grandsons) who manufactured in Mexico and Haiti. 100% authentic.
Zippers: Old metal zippers that open from middle out on both. Both zippers are working fine. The zippers are marked  C & C which I looked up and are an authentic vintage zipper Company (although associated more with L.Vuitton) I don't have anymore information than that.
Features: Large, spacious interiors, smaller bag has zipper pocket, gold Gucci tags have embossed GG as well as another interesting design and have remained in very good condition.
Dimensions: Larger bag is 18" Wide x 10" High x 9" Deep and Smaller bag is 15" Wide x 9" High x 5" Deep (approximate)
Conditions: Can be restored! But please read this. The larger bag has issues. I am not repairing and am selling AS IS. You can bring it to Gucci or I can recommend a preferred restorer. I've had a lot of luck with my local repair shop so you could probably find a local, and trusted leather repair shop but that's up to you.
The handles are separating in spots, and the leather trim is worn. There are other issues. 
PLEASE SEE PHOTOS AND ASK FOR MORE PHOTOS WHICH I HAVE MANY OF, 
AND ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. 
Thankfully the interior and canvas ON BOTH is in very good condition.
The smaller bag is very good, showing normal signs of use with age, with some darkened leather on bottom.
