Q: What are the dimensions of this bag?
A: This Gucci Small GG Bardot Jackie Bag measures approximately 26 x 15 x 8 cm, with a handle drop of around 19 cm. It is a compact shoulder bag best suited to everyday essentials rather than larger items such as a tablet or laptop.

Q: What typically fits inside this bag?
A: Its small format is ideal for daily basics such as a phone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses, and a few small beauty items. The internal zip pocket is useful for slimmer valuables you want to keep organised.

Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder?
A: Yes, this style is designed for short shoulder carry or hand carry with its dual leather handles. With a 19 cm handle drop, the fit will sit closer under the arm on most wearers. It does not include a detachable long strap, so it is not intended as a crossbody bag.

Q: What are the main design details of this bag?
A: This piece features brown GG canvas with brown leather trim, silver-tone hardware, dual leather handles, a dark textile lining, one internal zip pocket, and Gucci’s signature piston lock closure. It is a vintage bag made in Italy.

Q: Is this a practical vintage bag for regular use?
A: Yes, it is a practical choice if you prefer carrying just the essentials. The shape is compact, elegant, and easy to style for city days, lunches, or evenings out. As with most vintage canvas bags, it is best not to overload it and to avoid rough surfaces that may increase wear over time.

Q: What condition is this item in?
A: The bag is described as being in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please use the product images alongside the condition notes for the clearest overall view.

Q: What is included with the bag?
A: No additional items are included with this piece. If a box, dust bag, strap, or other item is not listed in the product information, it should be considered not included.

Q: How should I care for the GG canvas and leather trim?
A: Clean the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and wipe the leather trim with a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products, heavy moisture, direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. For storage, keep the bag lightly stuffed so it holds its shape and place it in a breathable fabric bag if you have one available.

A: At A Retro Tale, vintage bags are checked by specialists and supported by third-party authentication tools. Details such as materials, stitching, hardware, construction, and brand markings are reviewed as part of the authentication process, so you can shop with confidence.
