Please help with my latest pucci find?

[Carmen San Juan Lorié]

I bought a pucci skirt that is very well done. The border is sewn in, the label is authentic (unless that is also reproduced?) The print detailed, vibrant with thin lines around the designs. The seams undetectable. All good signs and even still has a price tag attached. Although I do collect pucci, I do not know the history of his prints and signatures well enough to authenticate a questionable piece. It is signed "Emilio" throughout. The signature looks perfect, except I found a scattering of "pucci" signatures??? As far as I know he never used his last name because of his family history. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Nice skirt. We do not authentic here but I can tell you the labelling is more recent. Are there any care symbols? If so, post a photo and we may be able to narrow down a date.

 

[Carmen San Juan Lorié]

I understand. Really just curious if anyone has seen "Pucci" on any of his prints? And I also wonder if after his death, was his name still being signed onto the prints? And yes, the label is newer yet the print doesn't seem like a recent look. This piece is really throwing me off. I think it might be a counterfeit

I agree - these labels look fairly modern. I only have experience with vintage Pucci. Casor seems to be one of the many Italian companies producing garments for designer labels. I couldn't find much about them online . Trademarkia says the trademark was filed in 1986, first used in 1976.

Thank you! Thats a start. The printing of his last name is what I find so odd? would you happen to know o a guide book or where I can research the signature? I have tried every search title I could think of and checked every page. Its such a mystery.

I can see a UK size 10, what does the waist measure? how far it is from current sizes may help to indicate how modern it is.

With 5 symbols and the dryer symbol at the end it is pre 2004.

Looks like they revived a collection of older prints in 1998:

As for the signatures on his pieces, I too have only seen Emilio or EPRF
(Emilio Pucci for Formfit Rogers).

 

[Carmen San Juan Lorié]

Yes, I also have seen the EPRF. I don't know what to do. I don't want to list it without knowing & im hitting dead ends? But I thank you for the information you offered. If I ever find an answer I will post it here. Thanks again!

Casor Spa dates to the 1980s, early 90s.

When Mr. Pucci was alive, I always wrote for an interview anytime we went to Florence. The first visit I visited the workrooms and interviewed him. He was fascinating with many interests. He was very talented and one of the first to develop rtw techniques for sewing silk knits. Many, if not most, prints were printed as scarves; and if you look closely, you can see seams in various places so the scarf prints were nicely placed.
In the photos here, there is a seam next to the yellow stripe on the collar and lapels; the evening gown was a scarf print. At the hem, the worker was sewing a band around the skirt so it would be more attractive.
He was great at cutting the fabrics apart and sewing back together more attractively.

it does have the scarf trim. the main issue is with the signing on the print. it is signed "Emilio" but also "Pucci".
do you know or have seen any piece signed both Emilio & Pucci throughout the fabric?
