Gucci Gaucho Suede Bag

Q: What fits inside the Gucci Gaucho Suede Bag?
A: With approximate dimensions of 19 × 17 × 4 cm, this is a compact shoulder bag best suited to small daily essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick and slim sunglasses. It is not ideal for bulkier items like a long wallet, water bottle or tablet. As this is a vintage piece, we recommend comparing the measurements on this page with anything specific you plan to carry.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody?
A: It is designed primarily as a shoulder bag and features a single adjustable strap with an approximate drop of 58 cm. Depending on your height and proportions, it may sit lower on the body, but it is best considered a shoulder style rather than a true crossbody bag.

Q: Will a smartphone fit inside?
A: Most standard smartphones should fit, but space will be limited once you add other essentials because the bag is only 4 cm deep. If you use a larger phone or a bulky case, please compare it with the listed measurements before purchasing.

Q: What materials and details does this bag have?
A: According to the product information, it features brown suede with leather trim, gold-tone hardware, a tonal canvas lining, a flap closure and a single adjustable shoulder strap. It is also a vintage Gucci piece made in Italy.

Q: What is the condition of this specific bag?
A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows visible rubbing and darkening on the suede, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. We always recommend reviewing all photos carefully, as vintage pieces naturally show signs of a previous life.

Q: How should I care for vintage suede?
A: Suede needs gentle handling. After use, lightly wipe or dust the bag with a soft, dry cloth, and keep it away from direct light, heat, humidity, rain and rough surfaces. If it gets wet, blot and dry it promptly with a soft cloth. For deeper cleaning or treatment, it is safest to consult Gucci or a specialist in suede care rather than using household products.

Q: Is suede a practical choice for everyday use?
A: Yes, if you prefer a soft, textured look and plan to use it for light essentials, lunches, evenings out or careful day wear. However, suede is more delicate than coated canvas or smooth leather, so this bag is best suited to drier days and mindful handling, especially as this vintage example already shows some rubbing and darkening.

Q: Does this item come with anything extra?
A: No additional items are listed in the product information for this piece. If something is not specifically mentioned there, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: How is authenticity checked?
A: A Retro Tale states that its bags are checked and verified by in-house experts with experience in vintage luxury, and the company also uses a third-party authentication tool. If you would like extra peace of mind, you can also enquire about a separate digital authenticity certificate.
