Perfect for dinners, theatre nights or city strolls, this vintage Gucci pouch in red GG canvas with leather trim keeps your small essentials secure with its top zip. Compact and refined, it slips easily into a tote or can be carried solo.
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 typically fits inside this pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 16 × 10 × 9 cm, it suits everyday small essentials such as a compact smartphone, cardholder, keys, lip balm and a small make-up compact. Long continental wallets or plus‑size phones may be a snug fit depending on cases. Please compare your items against the stated measurements.
Q: Does it have a strap or wristlet? A: This style is a handheld, zip‑top pouch without a strap. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information section; if a dust bag or other extras are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: Is the GG canvas water‑resistant? A: Gucci’s coated GG Supreme fabric offers light water resistance, but neither canvas nor leather is fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and, if the pouch gets damp, gently dry it straight away with a soft cloth. Prolonged exposure to moisture, heat or direct sunlight should be avoided.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Use a soft, dry cloth for routine care. For coated GG Supreme areas, you may wipe with a slightly damp soft cloth and dry immediately. Avoid soaps, solvents and protective sprays, which can alter the finish. Store the pouch stuffed with tissue in a breathable dust bag, away from direct light, heat and humidity.
Q: What is the difference between GG canvas and GG Supreme? A: GG canvas is a durable fabric bearing the GG motif. GG Supreme is a later, coated version designed to be more resistant to dirt and light moisture, with a slightly smoother hand. This particular piece is described as GG canvas with leather trim.
Q: Will my phone fit? A: Most standard‑sized smartphones without bulky cases should fit lengthwise; larger Plus/Max models may be tight. The interior may taper slightly towards the zip, so checking your device against the 16 cm width is recommended.
Q: Does this item have a serial number? A: Many Gucci bags and small leather goods from the 1990s onward feature a heat‑stamped serial code on an interior leather tab, while some earlier vintage pieces may not. Serial numbers are not part of a public database and, by themselves, do not confirm authenticity.
Q: Is the item authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts. We also offer an optional digital certificate of authenticity from independent services on request—contact us if you would like to add this to your order.
Q: Can I use it as a make‑up or travel pouch? A: Absolutely. The zip‑top shape and fabric lining make it useful for cosmetics or small travel essentials. Keep liquids in leak‑proof containers or a removable liner to prevent spills, and avoid storing damp items.
Q: How should I store it to maintain its shape and colour? A: Stuff lightly with acid‑free tissue, place in a breathable dust bag, and avoid stacking heavy items on top. Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity. As with most coloured leathers, minimise friction with light fabrics, especially in damp conditions, to reduce the chance of colour transfer.
