Gucci Web Shoulder Bag

Q: What can I fit inside this bag day to day?
A: With measurements of approximately 32 × 21 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, hand sanitiser, a slim cosmetics pouch and an A5 diary or small tablet such as an iPad mini. Larger tablets (10–11 inch) and laptops will not fit comfortably.

Q: Can I wear it crossbody?
A: It is designed primarily as a shoulder bag. The strap drop is about 25 cm and adjustable for a closer or looser under‑arm carry, but it is generally not long enough for crossbody wear on most frames.

Q: What closure does it have and is it secure?
A: It features Gucci’s signature piston‑lock clasp associated with the Jackie family. The mechanism is designed for easy, one‑handed fastening while keeping the contents secure.

Q: What is the material and how durable is it?
A: The exterior is beige canvas with brown perforated leather trim and silver‑tone hardware, plus the green‑red Web detail. Canvas with leather trim is robust for daily use, but we recommend avoiding heavy rain and prolonged friction to preserve the fabric and colours.

Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim?
A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. For the leather trim, use a dry, soft cloth and, if needed, a tiny amount of a neutral leather conditioner applied sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals, soaking, or heat. Store the bag stuffed and upright in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Q: Will the Web stripe or leather transfer colour onto clothing?
A: Colour transfer is uncommon with normal use, but it can occur if the bag rubs against light fabrics while damp or if stored against dark materials. Keep it dry and avoid prolonged contact with contrasting fabrics to minimise risk.

Q: What product information is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a dust bag or cards are not listed there, they are not included for this piece.

Q: Where was this piece made?
A: Italy, as indicated on the origin label.

Q: Does this vintage bag have a serial number?
A: Serial number formats vary by era. Many vintage Gucci pieces may show earlier styles of codes or, in some cases, none at all. Absence of a modern two‑line code is not uncommon for older items and does not affect authenticity.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and factory markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional photos or details on request.
