Vintage Valentino Purse by Coppola e Toppo

[brittury]

I found this bag at a thrift store in Vancouver BC a few years ago. I have tried to find out more about this Valentino and Coppola e Toppo collaboration to no avail. I know Coppola e Toppo made jewelry for Valentino but I can find nothing about bags. The photographed label is the only marking that I can find.

Have any of you seen a Coppola e Toppo per Valentino bag before? When do you think it was made?

I hope you still frequent this because I'm researching for a Valentino video currently and came across this image, and you havea very very early Valentino bag. Coppola and Toppo began producing bags for valentino under license in 1967, the same year they debuted their V logo. I don't know exactly what year this bag is from as it's not in the promotional material from 1967, but this is most definitely a very early Valentino piece. I hope you kept it
