The standout rarity is the printed Gucci label panel, which includes an illustrated single ladybug—a charming and highly unusual detail virtually absent from online archives, sold listings, and collector references. Its deliberate integration into the artwork, combined with the older-style silk tag, strongly points to an early vintage production (likely late 1970s–1980s), predating the later widespread use of the Flora motif.
A remarkable early-production example of Gucci’s iconic Flora series, this ultra-rare vintage silk scarf showcases the intricate botanical artistry that made Vittorio Accornero’s work legendary. This version features a deep burgundy border and a beautifully complex four-corner composition of florals, berries, pinecones, greenery, and delicately illustrated birds—rendered in vivid, crisp color on luxurious Italian silk.
