Tailored for the working week, this vintage Gucci Duilio Brogue top handle elevates office dressing and client meetings. Its brogue-detailed leather and refined shape bring polish to city commutes, while the dual handles make it a smart choice for day-to-night engagements.
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 can this bag hold day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 31 × 30 × 15 cm, it comfortably fits A4 documents, a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, a 500 ml water bottle, and a tablet. A slim 13-inch laptop may fit depending on its case and the way you pack; please compare your device to the measurements provided. The canvas-lined interior includes pockets to help organise smaller items.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap or crossbody option? A: This Duilio is designed as a handheld top handle bag with dual rolled handles. It does not come with a detachable shoulder strap. The handle drop is approximately 10 cm for carrying in hand or on the crook of the arm.
Q: How does the bag close, and is it secure? A: This piece features a D-ring lock closure as noted in the product information, offering a secure fastening. Depending on production year, some Duilio models were made with zip-top closures, so details can vary by variant. Interior pockets allow you to keep valuables zipped or tucked away for extra security.
Q: What does “Duilio brogue” mean on this Gucci style? A: “Duilio” refers to Gucci designs that showcase brogue-style perforations and edging inspired by classic brogue footwear. The detailing adds texture and a refined, heritage look to the leather while keeping the silhouette structured and elegant.
Q: How should I care for the brogue-perforated leather and canvas lining? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after use. For routine cleaning, use a barely damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of pH‑neutral soap, then dry immediately. Avoid excess moisture so liquid does not settle into the perforations. To lift dust from the brogue perforations, use a very soft brush or a short burst of clean compressed air. Store the bag stuffed to hold its shape in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: Where is the serial number usually found on Gucci bags, and how is authenticity verified? A: On most modern Gucci bags the serial number is heat‑stamped on the back of a small interior leather tag and typically appears in two rows of numbers. Serial numbers alone do not authenticate a bag, so each item at A Retro Tale is examined by specialists who inspect materials, stamping, stitching and hardware as part of a multi‑point authentication process.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag includes a dust bag, as listed in the product information on this page. Everything included is always listed under product information; if you need clarification, our team will be happy to help.
Q: What colour is this bag? A: The bag is a neutral grey/taupe leather with brogue detailing and gold‑tone hardware. Colour can appear slightly different across screens and lighting; please refer to the photos for the best representation.
Q: Can I add my own strap using clips or the hardware? A: This model is not designed for a shoulder strap, and adding third‑party clips to handles or hardware can put stress on the leather and metal. For longevity, we do not recommend attaching aftermarket straps to this piece.
Q: Does it stand upright on its own? A: The structured base helps it stand, and many Duilio top handle versions include protective feet. Please refer to the photos of this specific item to see the base and hardware details.
