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 typically fits inside the Gucci Guccissima Piston Tote? A: With measurements of approximately 40 × 30 × 16 cm, it comfortably holds a 13-inch laptop, A4 documents, a long wallet, phone, small cosmetics pouch and a water bottle. A slim 14–15-inch laptop may fit depending on its case and how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: How does the piston lock closure work? A: The piston is a push‑lock mechanism used on various Gucci designs. To open, gently press or slide the piston to release the bar; to close, align the bar and press until it clicks. Avoid overfilling the bag so the lock aligns cleanly and do not force it shut.
Q: Is Guccissima real leather? A: Yes. Guccissima is genuine calf leather embossed with Gucci’s interlocking GG motif, giving a textured, structured finish that is designed for everyday durability.
Q: When was Guccissima most popular and is this piece considered vintage? A: Guccissima became a house signature in the mid‑2000s under creative director Frida Giannini and remained popular into the 2010s. This tote is classified as vintage and reflects that era’s styling and hardware details.
Q: Is this tote shoulder‑friendly? A: The dual rolled handles have an approximate 15 cm drop, which is best for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. Some may manage it on the shoulder over light layers, but it is not designed as a long‑strap shoulder tote.
Q: How should I care for the off‑white leather? A: Wipe down with a soft, dry cloth after use; store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight and heat; and keep clear of rain. Light colours can pick up dye from dark fabrics (such as denim), so avoid prolonged contact. For deep cleaning or repairs, Gucci boutiques provide aftercare services.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number and where would it be? A: Most Gucci bags from the 1990s onward include a heat‑stamped leather tag inside with a two‑line numerical serial. Formats vary by era and Gucci does not use date codes. If shown in our photos, that stamp corresponds to the style; if you’d like confirmation, please contact us.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. For this piece, a brand booklet is included. If a dust bag or any other item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: Overall very good vintage condition. The exterior shows some corner and edge marks; the interior is very good with light traces of use; and the light gold‑tone hardware is shiny with fine scratches. Please review all photos for close‑ups.
