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 makes the Gucci Bamboo Bar Tote distinctive? A: The Bamboo Bar design is recognisable for its bamboo detailing at the handle attachments, a nod to Gucci’s iconic bamboo craftsmanship introduced in the 1940s. On this piece, that signature detail is paired with brown grained leather, silver-tone hardware and braided leather handles for a refined everyday look. This vintage bag is also made in Italy.
Q: What typically fits inside this medium tote? A: With approximate measurements of 38 x 26 x 16 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, a water bottle, and a small tablet or notebook. Please compare the listed measurements with anything you plan to carry regularly for the best idea of fit.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. The handle drop is listed at approximately 21 cm, which is usually comfortable for shoulder carry for most users, while still allowing it to be carried neatly in the hand.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: Yes. This bag features a top zip fastening, which offers more security than an open-top tote and helps keep everyday belongings safely in place.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows scratch marks on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. These signs are consistent with careful previous wear.
Q: How should I care for the leather and bamboo details? A: Gently wipe the bag with a soft, dry cloth after use and keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight, humidity and rain. Store it upright in a breathable dust bag or cotton cover, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and avoid harsh cleaners or protective sprays unless recommended by a specialist.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The product information for this piece states that no additional included items are listed. If a box, dust bag, strap or authenticity card is not specifically mentioned, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: Why is Gucci bamboo such an iconic detail? A: Gucci’s bamboo elements are closely tied to the house’s history. Bamboo was introduced as a signature design feature in the post-war era and became one of Gucci’s most recognisable house codes, admired for both its craftsmanship and durability.
Q: How is a vintage Gucci Bamboo bag usually authenticated? A: Authentication is typically based on several factors rather than one detail alone. Experts usually assess the quality of the leather, stitching, hardware, logo stamping, interior serial-style tag where present, and the overall consistency of Gucci craftsmanship. If you would like more reassurance on this specific piece, you can request further product information before purchase.
