Does anyone recognize this symbol from a leather bag?

[Kitty]

It looks like a P, or an A. Its on a nice 1970sblack leather purse. Thanks for your help!

I have not seen this before either. I assume the handbag has no other markings or labels?

No, it has nothing else. The symbol is on the zipper pull too. For the life of me, I can't figure it out. I added a photo of the bag incase anyone knows what it is..

Interesting bag shape... unfortunately it doesn't ring a bell with me. Maybe someone else is familiar with this logo.

The closest guess would be an early Pierre Cardin vintage bag but it's not quite right. Could you post pictures of the lining/interior? Dating it might help with finding vintage designers/fashion houses which may no longer exist.

all help!

I found a label, inside, it was hiding from me! Nazareno Gabrielli

There is a bit documented on this Italian company.

Started in 1907, Nazareno Gabrielli was a leather book binder and engraver. By 1922 was selling all sorts of leather accessories.

Later it went into designer clothing. Over the years, expansion, acquisitions, funding, recessions and yes a family feud, tore apart an established company.

As far as I can gather the brand Nazareno Gabrielli, ( 1907 ) is owned by another company.

The photos suggest to me an 80s bag if not later.

Thanks for the info!- I did see that info too once I finally found the inside tag.
