Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Gucci GG Canvas Horsebit Hobo Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 38 × 2 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses and a few slim extras. Its hobo shape gives it a roomy feel, but the slim depth means it is better for flatter items rather than bulky belongings. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate size reference.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. It features a single flat shoulder strap and a strap drop of approximately 17 cm, making it suitable for shoulder carry. As with most vintage hobo styles, the fit may feel closer under the arm when wearing heavier layers or thicker coats.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: This bag has an open top for easy access. Inside, there is one internal zip pocket that is useful for smaller valuables you want to keep separate, such as cards, keys or lip products.
Q: What materials and details does this bag have? A: This piece is crafted in Gucci GG canvas with brown leather trim and gold-tone hardware. It features the signature horsebit detail on the shoulder strap, a brown fabric lining, and one internal zip pocket. It is also made in Italy and has a classic vintage Gucci look.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows a slightly scuffed strap, 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 to be expected and are part of its character.
Q: Does this bag come with any extras? A: No, this item comes with no accessories. Everything included with the purchase is shown in the product information, so if something is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Gucci canvas bag like this? A: For routine care, gently wipe the bag with a soft, dry cloth after use and keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, humidity, rain and rough surfaces. Avoid harsh cleaning or protective products, as they may alter the finish or cause marks. For storage, keep the bag lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape and place it in a breathable protective bag if you have one.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Gucci Horsebit bag? A: Authentic vintage Gucci bags are typically assessed through a combination of material quality, stitching, hardware, lining construction, logo details and interior markings where applicable. The Horsebit hardware is one of Gucci’s most recognisable signatures, so the quality and finish of this detail matter. At A Retro Tale, all items are professionally authenticated before sale for added peace of mind.
Q: Why is the Horsebit detail so iconic? A: The Horsebit is one of Gucci’s best-known house codes, inspired by the brand’s equestrian heritage. It became a defining Gucci motif in the mid-20th century and remains popular because it gives bags like this one a timeless, recognisable vintage look that works well across different styles and seasons.
