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 Bamboo Leather Tote Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 35 x 25 x 9 cm, this tote is well suited to everyday essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, and a small tablet or notebook. It is better suited to daily items than bulky belongings, so please compare your own essentials with the listed measurements if you need a precise fit.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This piece has dual bamboo handles with an approximately 11 cm handle drop and no shoulder strap listed. For most people, that makes it best suited to hand carry or carrying in the crook of the arm rather than comfortably over the shoulder.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag features a tonal leather lining with one internal zip pocket. That gives you a useful place for smaller valuables such as cards, keys, or lipstick, while the main compartment can hold your larger daily essentials.
Q: What is the condition of this vintage bag? A: This item is rated Very Good condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners and minor scratches, the interior has scratches, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These signs of wear are consistent with a well-kept vintage leather bag and are reflected in the overall condition description.
Q: Does this item come with any additional product information? A: No additional product information is listed for this piece. If you are hoping for extras such as a dust bag, box, strap, or other add-ons, it is best to assume they are not included unless specifically stated on the product page.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number? A: A serial number is not listed for this item. On vintage Gucci bags, serial markings can vary by era, so a missing or unlisted code is not automatically unusual. Authenticity should always be assessed through the overall construction, materials, hardware, stamps, and craftsmanship rather than by one detail alone.
Q: Why are Gucci bamboo handles so iconic? A: Gucci bamboo-handle bags are among the house’s most recognisable designs and have been closely associated with the brand since the 1940s. The bamboo handle is loved for its sculptural appearance, light feel, and lasting durability, which is why vintage Gucci Bamboo styles remain so collectible.
Q: How should I care for the leather and bamboo handles? A: Wipe the bag gently with a soft, dry cloth after use and keep it away from direct heat, rain, humidity, and rough surfaces. If it gets wet, dry it promptly with a soft cloth. For storage, lightly stuff the interior to help maintain the shape and keep the handles relaxed and free from pressure.
Q: Is this a practical everyday size? A: Yes, this is a practical medium tote size for everyday use if you prefer a structured vintage bag. It offers enough room for essentials without feeling oversized, but it is not the best choice if you need to carry heavier items or a larger laptop on a regular basis.
