Carry the Gucci Ophidia Suede Web Tote on city days—smart for the office, relaxed for brunch. Black suede and the signature Web stripe add refined ease, while its spacious silhouette keeps daily essentials close from commute to coffee and casual evenings.
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 Ophidia Suede Web Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 31 × 25 × 9.5 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a tablet, and most 13-inch laptops in a slim sleeve, plus small daily essentials. There is one internal zipped pocket for quick‑grab items. Because the bag has an open top, we recommend using a pouch or organiser for valuables and electronics.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: The handle/strap drop is about 18 cm, so it can be carried by hand, in the crook of the arm, or on the shoulder for most people (it will feel snug over heavier layers). Please refer to the listed measurements to judge your preferred carry.
Q: Does the bag have a closure? A: This style features an open top. Many clients add a slim organiser or zip pouch for extra security and structure while keeping the tote’s easy access.
Q: What is included with the listing? A: This item is sold as shown with no additional items. Everything included is detailed under product information; if a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included. Feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How should I care for the suede and Web detail? A: Keep suede away from rain and humidity, pre‑treat with a suede protector, and refresh the nap occasionally with a soft suede brush. Remove light marks with a clean dry cloth or a dedicated suede eraser. Store the bag stuffed to maintain shape, in a cool, ventilated place away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged contact with light fabrics to minimise potential colour transfer from dark suede.
Q: There is a vintage smell noted—how can I reduce it? A: Air the bag in a well‑ventilated room (away from direct sun), then place odour‑absorbing sachets such as activated charcoal or baking‑soda pouches inside for 24–72 hours, repeating as needed. Do not spray perfume directly onto suede; if smells persist, consider a professional specialist cleaner familiar with luxury suede.
Q: Where is the Gucci serial number and what does it indicate? A: On most Gucci bags from the 1990s onward, a serial number is embossed on the back of the interior leather logo tab (typically two rows of digits). The format can vary by era and does not reveal the exact production date. Some vintage pieces may have worn or hard‑to‑read numbers; absence or faintness alone does not determine authenticity.
Q: What is the Ophidia line known for, and how does this piece relate? A: The Ophidia line blends house codes like the green‑red Web and GG motifs and was reintroduced as a collection in 2018. Gucci has long used the Web stripe across many eras; this vintage suede tote showcases that heritage look in a softly structured, open‑top shopper silhouette.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece is vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial tags, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
