Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 x 28 x 15 cm, this handbag is well suited to everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, cosmetics pouch, and a small tablet or notebook. It is better suited to daily carry than bulky items, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for the best sense of scale.
Q: Is this bag suitable for everyday use? A: Yes, it can work very well as an everyday handbag if used with care. Its size and shoulder strap make it practical, but because it is a vintage suede style, it is best treated a little more gently than a modern all-weather bag and kept away from heavy rain or rough surfaces.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What makes the Gucci Bamboo bag special? A: Gucci’s Bamboo line is one of the house’s most recognisable designs. The bamboo handle became a signature Gucci detail in the late 1940s and is still valued for its distinctive look, light weight, and craftsmanship. On a vintage piece like this, it adds both heritage appeal and collector interest.

It is better suited to daily carry than bulky items, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for the best sense of scale.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: Yes. This item includes a detachable shoulder strap in addition to the dual bamboo top handles, so it can be carried by hand or worn on the shoulder depending on your preference.
Q: How is the bag organised inside? A: This bag features a black fabric lining with one internal zip pocket, two exterior slip pockets, and a flap closure. That layout makes it easy to separate smaller essentials while keeping the main compartment open for daily items.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows rubbing and marks on the suede, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As this is a vintage item, gentle signs of age and wear are part of its character.
Q: Is this bag suitable for everyday use? A: Yes, it can work very well as an everyday handbag if used with care. Its size and shoulder strap make it practical, but because it is a vintage suede style, it is best treated a little more gently than a modern all-weather bag and kept away from heavy rain or rough surfaces.
Q: How should I care for the suede exterior? A: Suede is a delicate material, so it is best to avoid rain, humidity, oils, and friction from rough clothing or surfaces. For light upkeep, use a soft dry cloth or a proper suede brush very gently. Avoid standard leather creams and harsh cleaning products, and choose specialist cleaning if the bag needs more than light surface care.
Q: How should I store the bag and bamboo handles? A: Store the bag lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, ideally in a breathable dust bag if you have one, and avoid placing heavy items on top. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. The detachable strap can be removed for storage, and the bamboo handles should be kept free from pressure so they hold their shape well over time.
Q: Is a serial number included, and how is authenticity assessed? A: No serial number is noted in the product information for this item. With vintage Gucci bags, markings can vary by era and may be absent, inconsistent, or worn, so authenticity is not judged by one detail alone. Materials, construction, hardware, stamping, and overall craftsmanship are all considered as part of the authentication process.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this bag lists a detachable shoulder strap. If any additional item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
