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 can this bag hold day to day? A: With measurements of approximately 20 × 37 × 10 cm, it comfortably fits a large wallet, smartphone, sunglasses case, keys, cosmetics pouch and a small tablet or e‑reader (around the 8-inch class). It will not hold bulky water bottles well unless you pack slim, and capacity varies by how you organise your items—please refer to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes, the single flat strap has an approximate 16 cm drop designed for shoulder carry under the arm. It is not designed to be worn crossbody and the strap is not adjustable on this model.
Q: Does it fit A4 documents or a laptop? A: A4 paper (21 × 29.7 cm) does not fit flat due to the 20 cm height, and a 13-inch laptop is too large. Slim tablets and diaries fit best.
Q: What is Guccissima leather and when was it introduced? A: Guccissima is Gucci’s embossed leather featuring interlocking GG throughout. The Guccissima pattern was introduced in the mid‑2000s (around 2006). This piece is a vintage example using that leather finish.
Q: What is special about the Horsebit detail on this bag? A: The double ring and bar horsebit hardware is one of Gucci’s most recognisable house codes. It first appeared on Gucci loafers in the 1950s and was applied to handbags by 1955, linking the brand to its equestrian heritage.
Q: How secure is the bag in daily use? A: It has a top zip closure and an interior pocket for smaller valuables. The hobo silhouette sits close to the body on the shoulder for additional peace of mind.
Q: What exactly is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed under the product information on this page. This particular piece is sold as photographed; if an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How would you describe the condition? A: Very Good. There is scuffing on the corners and slight fraying on the strap. The interior shows a light trace of use. The gold‑tone hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos to see the details up close.
Q: How should I care for Guccissima leather and the gold‑tone hardware? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after wear, avoid prolonged direct sunlight, heat and rain, and do not overfill. If the bag becomes lightly damp, blot gently and allow to air dry away from heat. Store stuffed to maintain shape in a breathable cover. Use a neutral, leather‑safe conditioner sparingly and test first on an inconspicuous area; avoid coloured creams and harsh cleaners. For deep cleaning or repairs, consult a professional or Gucci aftercare.
Q: How is authenticity verified and what should I expect to see inside? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts. Many authentic Gucci bags feature an interior leather tag stamped with GUCCI and Made in Italy, with a heat‑stamped numeric code on the reverse. Number formats have varied over time and are not tied to a public database, so we rely on holistic checks of materials, stitching, hardware and construction to confirm authenticity.
