Perfect for summer city days and relaxed evenings, this vintage Gucci Bamboo Indy in ecru lends boho elegance to any look. The large silhouette and bamboo-detailed tassels make it ideal for brunch, gallery visits or weekend getaways, pairing just as well with linen tailoring as with denim for effortless day-to-night style.
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 typically fits inside the Gucci Large Bamboo Indy? A: With approximate measurements of 47 × 38 × 8 cm, it comfortably holds a 16-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, A4 documents, a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, and a water bottle. Due to the hobo silhouette, capacity is greatest at the centre—using pouches helps maximise space and organisation.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: This model is designed for handheld and shoulder carry. It has a single top handle (approx. 18 cm drop) and, on many editions, a detachable shoulder strap (approx. 47 cm drop) for comfortable on-shoulder wear. It is generally not intended for true crossbody wear—please check our photos and the product information to confirm the strap on this piece.
Q: Is this Indy considered a vintage style and is it still made today? A: The Indy was introduced for Spring/Summer 2007 under Frida Giannini and became a signature of the late 2000s. Today you will mainly find Indy bags on the pre-owned market rather than in Gucci’s current-season assortment.
Q: What are the hallmark features of the Indy? A: Key identifiers include the sculptural top handle with metal plate, double tassels finished with bamboo details, and gold-tone hardware. Many examples also include a detachable shoulder strap and a fabric-lined interior with a zipped pocket.
Q: How secure is the closure and how is the interior arranged? A: This piece has a fold-over flap under the handle and a patterned fabric lining with one internal zip pocket. For commuting, we recommend placing small valuables inside the zipped pocket or a separate pouch for added security.
Q: How should I care for the grained leather and bamboo details? A: Wipe leather gently with a soft, dry cloth after use and avoid prolonged exposure to light, heat, humidity, rain and rough surfaces. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag. To help the bamboo handle keep its shape, place bands around it when storing; remove any detachable strap and roll it loosely inside. Avoid oils, solvents and abrasive cleaners.
Q: Where can I find the Gucci serial/style code on an Indy, and what should it look like? A: On most Gucci bags from the 1990s onward, the serial/style code is heat-stamped on the back of the interior leather logo tag, typically in two rows of numbers. It is not a date code. Formats vary by era, and some older vintage pieces may differ slightly. If you would like close-up photos of the code on this bag, please contact us.
Q: Are the tassel ends really bamboo and are they fragile? A: Yes, the tassels are finished with real bamboo details, a long-standing Gucci signature. Bamboo is sturdy but should be protected from knocks and excess moisture; store with the handle supported and avoid pressure on the tassels to prevent surface nicks.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section and shown in our photos. For this piece, the product information notes no extras are included. If an item such as a dust bag or care papers is not listed there, it is not included.
