Perfect for weekend brunches, gallery visits or city strolls, this vintage Gucci GG shoulder bag in beige canvas with dark brown leather and gold-tone accents brings effortless polish. An adjustable shoulder strap keeps hands free, while a tri-compartment interior organises daily essentials—ideal from daytime errands to casual dinners.
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 I fit in this GG Shoulder Bag day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 26 × 18 × 2 cm and three slim compartments, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys and a few small essentials (lipstick, hand sanitiser). It is not intended for tablets, water bottles or bulky pouches.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: This model is designed as a shoulder bag with a single adjustable strap. The strap drop listed in the product information is approximately 32 cm, which suits shoulder carry; most crossbody styles typically need a drop around 50–55 cm, so this will wear high if worn crossbody.
Q: Is the GG Supreme canvas water‑resistant? A: GG Supreme is a coated material that offers light resistance to everyday splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. Wipe moisture away promptly and avoid prolonged exposure to rain. Store the bag stuffed and in a breathable cover when not in use.
Q: How should I clean and care for the canvas, leather trim and lining? A: For canvas, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals and scrubbing. For leather trim, use a dry cloth and a quality neutral leather conditioner sparingly. Keep the bag away from direct heat and sunlight, and avoid dark denim or heavily dyed fabrics to minimise colour transfer. When storing, lightly stuff to maintain shape and keep in a cool, dry place.
Q: The hardware is gold‑tone and noted as tarnished—what’s the safest way to improve it? A: Avoid abrasive metal polishes on plated hardware. Instead, wipe with a dry microfibre cloth. For deeper restoration (e.g., replating or screw replacement), consult a specialist repair service or Gucci aftercare to preserve the finish.
Q: The strap shows a frayed hole—can it be repaired or replaced? A: Yes. Gucci offers aftercare, and reputable leather repair ateliers can rebuild or replace straps and reinforce edge paint. Third‑party services typically use non‑Gucci‑branded parts unless original components can be reused. Reach out if you’d like recommendations.
Q: How is authenticity ensured and does this bag have a serial code? A: A Retro Tale authenticates every piece using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. Many vintage Gucci bags include a heat‑stamped serial code on an interior leather tab; these numbers are production references rather than a public, searchable database or date code. Newer Gucci items may also feature an NFC authenticity tag—this vintage piece may predate that system.
Q: There is a light vintage odour noted—how can I reduce it safely? A: Air the bag in a cool, dry, shaded place and store with odour‑absorbing sachets (activated charcoal or baking‑soda packets placed nearby, not directly on the leather). Avoid perfumes or harsh deodorisers. If odour persists, a professional bag‑care service can perform a deep, material‑safe clean.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information for this listing. For this piece, the product information notes that no additional items are included beyond the bag itself.
Q: Where is it made? A: The country‑of‑origin label states Italy.
