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 size is this Gucci GG Arli Python Bag, and what typically fits inside? A: This bag measures approximately 26 x 21 x 7 cm, making it a compact day-to-evening shoulder bag. It will typically hold daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or small wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a few cosmetics. It is not designed for larger items such as a tablet or laptop.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece features dual flat shoulder straps with an approximate 23 cm drop, so it sits comfortably on the shoulder or can be carried by hand. Based on the strap drop, it is best suited to shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The interior is lined in beige leather and divided into two compartments, which helps keep essentials neatly organised and easy to access.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This item is in Very Good condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches consistent with careful wear.
Q: Does this bag come with any additional items? A: No additional items are included with this piece. If an item is not listed in the product information, it is not included with the bag.
Q: Is python leather more delicate than standard leather? A: Yes. Python leather is prized for its distinctive natural scale pattern, but it is generally more delicate than standard smooth leather. It should be handled with care and kept away from excessive rubbing, moisture, heat, and humidity to help preserve the scales and finish.
Q: How should I care for a vintage python leather Gucci bag? A: Gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after use and avoid over-wetting the surface. For storage, keep it in a dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. Avoid using ordinary leather creams unless they are specifically suitable for exotic leather, as unsuitable products may affect the finish or scales.
Q: What makes the Gucci Arli style distinctive? A: The Arli line is known for its vintage-inspired silhouette and prominent GG hardware, giving it a strong archival Gucci look. In this black python version, the design feels especially refined and statement-making while remaining easy to style.
