Who Knows Garay Bags Well?

[MyVintageCocktail]

I've had a ton of Garay bags over the years, but can't find the answer to this question; any help is much appreciated!

Does anyone know when Garay changed over from the cloth tags sewn into the bags to the stick-on labels? I have two bags right now that I'm having dating doubts on, and both have the cloth labels. I have other ones from the late 60s and early 70s that have the sticky label.

Any pics?

I've had a few Garay bags and I love them - but can't help you on label info, sorry.

all of my 60s Garay bags have had labels sewn in including ones from the late 60s. I would have to say 70s

Thank you, Sandra--that's what I needed! I have one Garay that I know is very early 70s, with the sticky label. And two that I'm pretty sure are 60s--with the sewn-in tag. But one of them could be 50s, too, and I wasn't sure if the sticky label would be found in their 60s bags--which would make the one bag older than I thought it was.
