Q: What are the measurements and what does the Small Sylvie typically fit? A: Approx. 25.5 × 16 × 8 cm. It fits a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, compact mirror and slim sunglasses. A small pouch fits comfortably; a standard water bottle or most tablets are generally too bulky for this size.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap and can it be worn crossbody? A: Many Small Sylvie bags were sold with a detachable leather shoulder strap and some also came with a ribbon strap; inclusion varies by release. Everything included with this specific piece is listed under Accessories and for this item we list a dust bag and booklet. The strap drop listed on this page (34 cm) is typically shoulder length. For true crossbody wear, many clients opt for a longer replacement crossbody strap.
Q: What’s the difference between the original Sylvie and the Sylvie 1969? A: The original Sylvie (mid‑2010s) highlights the Web stripe with a prominent chain‑and‑buckle motif and often includes ribbon accents. The later Sylvie 1969 refines the look with sleeker, more minimal hardware and a rigid, boxier silhouette; many 1969 versions include a detachable strap with a longer drop.
Q: How does the Small compare to the Mini in size? A: The Small is around 25.5 × 16 × 8 cm, offering room for daily essentials. The Mini averages around 20 × 14 × 7 cm (varies slightly by version) and holds a phone, small cardholder and keys with a bit less capacity than the Small.

For true crossbody wear, many clients opt for a longer replacement crossbody strap.
Q: How does the Sylvie closure work and is it secure? A: The flap is finished with Gucci’s signature Web stripe and a decorative chain-and-buckle detail. To open, lift the buckle and move the chain aside; to close, lay the chain back and secure the buckle. When fastened, it’s reliably secure for everyday use.
Q: What are the main materials in this piece? A: Smooth white leather exterior with blue‑and‑red Web detail and gold‑tone hardware. Inside is a beige microfibre/suede‑feel lining with a zipped pocket. The top handle features a tricolour ribbon bow that can be retied or removed if you prefer a cleaner look.
Q: Is the ribbon on the handle removable and how should I care for it? A: Yes, the grosgrain ribbon can be untied and retied; remove it for storage to avoid creasing. Spot‑clean gently with a dry, soft cloth only. Keep it away from moisture, perfumes and lotions to prevent staining.
Q: Any care tips for smooth white leather and light interiors? A: Avoid prolonged contact with dark denim and richly dyed fabrics to minimise colour transfer. Wipe leather with a soft, dry cloth after use; test any neutral leather protector on a hidden area first. Store stuffed to hold shape, inside the dust bag, and place a soft cloth between the chain and flap to prevent imprints. Keep cosmetics in a small pouch to protect the light lining.

A: The original Sylvie (mid‑2010s) highlights the Web stripe with a prominent chain‑and‑buckle motif and often includes ribbon accents. The later Sylvie 1969 refines the look with sleeker, more minimal hardware and a rigid, boxier silhouette; many 1969 versions include a detachable strap with a longer drop.
Q: Where is the Gucci serial/style code and what does it mean? A: You’ll usually find two rows of numbers stamped on the back of the interior leather label. They identify the style and supplier and are not a date code. Cards like “controllato” or care booklets may accompany some items but are not proof of authenticity by themselves—expert assessment is still required.
Q: What accessories are included with this item and how is it authenticated? A: Included here: dust bag and booklet. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes; we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: How does the Small compare to the Mini in size? A: The Small is around 25.5 × 16 × 8 cm, offering room for daily essentials. The Mini averages around 20 × 14 × 7 cm (varies slightly by version) and holds a phone, small cardholder and keys with a bit less capacity than the Small.
