Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What can this tote hold day to day? A: With measurements of approximately 36 × 23 × 13 cm, it comfortably fits a long wallet, phone, small water bottle, make-up pouch, umbrella, and an A4 document or magazine when placed horizontally. Most 13-inch laptops (around 30.5 × 21.5 cm) fit; some slim 14-inch models (about 31 × 22 cm) may also fit without a bulky sleeve—please compare your device to the measurements on this page.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes, the handle drop is approximately 20 cm, so it can usually be worn on the shoulder over light layers, or carried by hand in the crook of the arm. Comfort will vary by build and clothing.
Q: Does it have a top closure? A: This model has an open top for easy access and a secure internal zipped pocket for smaller valuables. For added privacy or structure, many clients use a slim organiser pouch inside.
Q: What is the Horsebit and Web detail I see on the front? A: The Horsebit is a signature Gucci hardware motif inspired by the brand’s equestrian heritage, and the green-red-green Web stripe references the girth strap used in saddlery—both long-standing house codes that make this tote instantly recognisable.
Q: What material is the exterior and how durable is it? A: This piece is crafted in black GG canvas with black leather trim and gold-tone hardware. Gucci has produced both traditional GG canvas (a cotton-blend fabric) and later GG Supreme (a coated microfibre) in similar looks; both are designed for frequent use with proper care.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air dry. Avoid harsh cleaners, soaking, or excessive friction. Keep leather trim nourished with a quality leather conditioner as needed, and store the bag stuffed and in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight and heat to minimise fading.
Q: Is there a serial number and where would it be? A: Many Gucci bags have a heat-stamped serial number on the reverse of a small interior leather tag. On vintage pieces it can be faint or worn. If not visible in our photos, feel free to ask for a closer look—details specific to this item are noted in the product information.
Q: Are any extras included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this listing, no additional items are noted.
Q: There’s mention of a faint vintage scent—will it fade? A: Yes, a light vintage scent is common with older pieces and typically dissipates with gentle airing. Store the bag in a well-ventilated area with neutral odour absorbers (like silica gel). Avoid perfumes or harsh deodorisers, which can affect materials.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks (materials, stitching, hardware, interior tags and stamping). We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
