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 fits inside the Gucci 1955 Horsebit Tote? A: With measurements of approximately 37 × 26 × 14 cm, this tote is well suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch, diary and water bottle, with room for A4 documents. Capacity varies depending on how you pack, so please use the Measurements on this page as your final guide.
Q: Will this tote fit a laptop? A: It is best suited to documents, tablets and everyday items. Some slim laptops may fit, but this depends on the exact size of the device, sleeve and charger, so we recommend comparing your laptop to the listed measurements before purchase.
Q: Can it be carried comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This style has dual flat shoulder straps and a listed strap drop of about 23 cm, which is generally comfortable for shoulder carry. A detachable long strap is not listed for this specific item.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag has a magnetic top closure, which keeps everyday contents together while still allowing easy access. As with most magnetic totes, it is practical rather than fully zip-secure, so smaller valuables are best kept in the internal pocket or a pouch.
Q: What materials and design details define this bag? A: This piece is made in Italy and combines GG canvas with brown leather trim, gold-tone hardware and the signature Horsebit detail on the front. The Horsebit 1955 line is known for reworking one of Gucci’s historic equestrian-inspired house codes into a timeless everyday silhouette, and GG canvas is generally appreciated for its structured feel and good everyday durability.
Q: Does the interior have any organisation? A: Yes. The interior is lined in beige canvas and includes one internal pocket for keeping smaller essentials easier to find.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. There is light wear on the leather trim, light traces of use inside, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful pre-owned wear.
Q: What product information is included with the bag? A: This item comes with a dust bag. Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information section of this page.
Q: How should I care for this Gucci tote? A: Store it in its dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat and heavy rain. If needed, wipe the canvas and leather trim gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid overloading the bag, which can affect its structure over time.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully reviewed by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and overall consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
