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 this Gucci Heritage Horsebit Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 40 x 27 x 12 cm, this tote is well suited to day-to-day essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses case, make-up pouch, notebook and other small daily items. It offers a roomy classic tote shape, but we recommend comparing the listed measurements with anything specific you plan to carry.
Q: Is this a good everyday bag? A: Yes, the tote silhouette, shoulder strap and zip-top closure make it a practical choice for everyday use. Horsebit styles are often appreciated for balancing a polished look with day-to-evening versatility.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: No, this style is designed for shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear. It has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 20 cm.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a zip closure, black fabric lining and one internal zip pocket for smaller essentials you want to keep secure and easy to find.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: This is a vintage, pre-owned piece in very good condition. There is a visible scratch on the leather, the zip is slightly hard to open, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: Does it come with a dust bag? A: Yes, a dust bag is included. For the full overview of what is included, please refer to the product information on this page.
Q: Why is the Horsebit detail so iconic? A: The Horsebit is one of Gucci’s most recognisable house codes, rooted in the brand’s equestrian heritage. The motif appeared in the late 1940s and became part of a handbag design in 1955, which is why Horsebit bags remain especially popular with vintage collectors.
Q: How should I care for vintage Gucci leather? A: For routine care, gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after use and keep it away from direct light, heat, humidity, rain and rough surfaces. It is best to avoid cleaning sprays or protective products that may alter the finish, and to store the bag in its dust bag when not in use.
Q: How do you authenticate vintage Gucci bags? A: At A Retro Tale, each item is carefully vetted for authenticity. With vintage Gucci, specialists typically review the leather quality, stitching, hardware, interior label and construction details, along with any serial or style markings where applicable. Because vintage Gucci details can vary by era, authentication should always be based on the full item rather than one feature alone.
