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 Velvet Broadway Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 20 × 13 × 5 cm, it’s ideal for evening essentials: a large smartphone, a cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick, and wireless earbuds. Slim sunglasses in a soft case may fit; a full‑length continental wallet and A5 notebooks generally do not. For certainty, compare your items to our Measurements or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody, and is the rope strap adjustable or removable? A: The single rope strap gives an approximate 62 cm drop on this piece, which works well on the shoulder and as a high crossbody on some wearers. Many Broadway velvet versions have a detachable (non‑adjustable) strap to convert into a clutch, though strap attachment can vary by season—please review our photos or ask us to confirm for this item.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior like? A: The bag features a flap top with a magnetic snap closure for quick yet secure access. The interior is lined in satin and typically comprises a single main compartment; some examples include a small slip pocket. Our listing photos show the exact layout of this piece.
Q: Will it fit a Pro/Max‑sized smartphone? A: Yes—most large smartphones fit comfortably when placed horizontally thanks to the 20 cm width. Very bulky cases may be snug under the flap; a slim case is recommended.
Q: How should I care for the velvet? A: Keep the bag dry and away from rain and oils. Gently remove surface dust with a lint roller or a very soft clothes brush in the direction of the nap. Avoid harsh cleaners and heavy water exposure; real velvet should be professionally cleaned, while cotton‑blend velveteen can be lightly spot‑treated—always test on a discreet area first. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid prolonged pressure to prevent flattening of the pile.
Q: How do I look after the crystal‑embellished ‘G’ hardware? A: Handle with care to avoid knocks that could loosen or chip stones. Wipe gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth; avoid soaking or using alcohol‑based cleaners near the crystals or adhesive. During storage, place a soft cloth between the hardware and the velvet to minimise friction. If a stone becomes loose or missing, a reputable luxury repair specialist or jeweller can often replace and secure it.
Q: Are any crystals damaged on this specific bag? A: Our condition notes state: Good exterior with light signs of use; some rhinestones are broken and/or cracked. Hardware remains shiny with light scratches; the interior is Very Good with a light trace of use. Please review our close‑up photos for full transparency.
Q: Is the Broadway Velvet with crystal ‘G’ still produced? A: Broadway evening styles with velvet and crystal hardware were released in past collections and are generally considered discontinued. Today they are most commonly available on the pre‑loved market rather than in current Gucci boutiques.
Q: Where are the Gucci markings and codes typically found? A: Authentic Gucci bags usually have an interior leather tab with “GUCCI” and “Made in Italy”; on the reverse of that tab you’ll typically find two rows of numbers (often 10–13 digits) that serve as style/supplier codes. Placement and font can vary by era. If you’d like, we can share close‑ups of the markings on this exact piece.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: This listing includes brand booklets; anything included is stated under “Accessories.” Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and construction—we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
