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 are the size and strap drop of this Large Soho Chain Tote? A: This piece measures approximately 37 × 30 × 12 cm with an estimated 25 cm shoulder drop. It is a roomy everyday tote; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or A4 documents? A: Yes. Based on the measurements, it comfortably fits A4 paperwork and most 13-inch laptops; many slim 14-inch devices also fit. For best results, place the device in a thin sleeve and avoid overloading to maintain the bag’s shape.
Q: How does the bag close and what does the inside look like? A: The Soho Chain Tote has an open top with an internal clasp (hook) closure. The interior is lined in light canvas and typically includes one zipped pocket and two slip pockets for organisation.
Q: Is the leather tassel removable and can it be replaced? A: Yes, the Soho tassel is designed to be detachable. If you ever need a replacement or repair, Gucci Client Services or a trusted leather specialist can advise on options.
Q: Is the Soho Chain Tote still in production? A: It is not part of Gucci’s current handbag line-up and is now mainly available through reputable resale and vintage retailers. That is why you’ll mostly find it pre-owned, like this authenticated piece.
Q: Are the chain straps comfortable for daily wear? A: The dual chain straps feature leather shoulder pads to improve comfort and help prevent slipping. With an approximate 25 cm drop, the bag sits well on the shoulder; if you wear bulkier coats, allow for the extra room you need.
Q: What typically fits for day-to-day use? A: Alongside a laptop or tablet, it fits a long wallet, phone, small cosmetics pouch, keys, a compact umbrella, and a water bottle. As with any soft leather tote, avoid overpacking to preserve structure and hardware.
Q: Where can I find the serial/style code and what does it indicate? A: Look behind the interior leather brand tag for a two‑row number. The top row is the model/style code and the bottom row is a production/batch code. It is not a date code. Some newer Gucci bags use an NFC authenticity tag, but vintage Soho totes generally use the stamped code.
Q: How should I care for the grained leather and light-coloured lining? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth; keep it away from oils, dyes, and prolonged sunlight. Store it stuffed, chains tucked inside, in a breathable dust bag. For the light lining, avoid pens and liquids; consult professional care for stains. Gucci’s handbag care guidance is a helpful reference.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information section on this page. If an item (for example, a dust bag) is not listed there, it is not included.
