Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 45 x 20 x 12 cm, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact notebook. Its structured vintage shape also makes it a strong day-to-evening option, though bulkier items may be less practical.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: It is best suited to everyday essentials rather than tech carry. While the width is generous, the 20 cm height and structured frame-top shape mean most laptops will not fit comfortably. A small tablet or e-reader is more realistic than a standard laptop.
Q: Does this bag have a shoulder strap? A: No. This style is designed to be carried by its dual wooden top handles, and no shoulder strap is listed for this item.
Q: Is this a Tom Ford-era Gucci bag? A: Yes. This piece is listed as part of the Tom Ford Collection and reflects the distinctive early-2000s Gucci look, with a structured silhouette and statement wooden handle detailing.
Q: What condition is the bag in? A: It is listed in Very Good Condition. Please note visible scuffing on the corners and base, light traces of use inside, and light scratches to the shiny hardware.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: No additional pieces are included with this item. Please refer to the product information on this page for the complete listing details.
Q: Why is there no serial number listed? A: This listing does not note a serial number. On older Gucci pieces, serial markings can sometimes be faint, worn or absent, so authentication is assessed through a wider review of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and overall craftsmanship rather than one detail alone.
Q: How should I care for the leather and wooden handles? A: Gently wipe the bag with a soft, dry cloth after use and keep it away from rain, direct sunlight, heat and humidity. Avoid harsh cleaning products or soaking the leather. The wooden handles should be kept dry and cleaned very gently to help preserve their finish.
Q: Is it suitable for everyday use? A: Yes, it can work beautifully as an everyday vintage handbag for essentials. That said, as an older leather piece with wooden details, it is best used with reasonable care and not overloaded.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country-of-origin label states Italy.
