Perfect for weekend city outings, this vintage Gucci GG hobo in beige canvas with cream leather trim lends effortless polish to casual denim and daytime dresses. Its relaxed silhouette and single shoulder strap make it easy for brunch, shopping, or sightseeing, while the subtle gold-tone accents keep the look refined from morning coffee to an early dinner.
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 the Gucci GG Hobo Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 34 × 25 × 15 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, a small make-up pouch, and a small tablet (around 10 inches). Slim notebooks and a compact umbrella can also fit. Capacity varies by how you organise your items—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: The bag has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 20 cm drop. It is designed to be carried on the shoulder and is not adjustable. It is not intended for crossbody wear.
Q: Is this GG canvas the same as GG Supreme? A: This listing is for beige GG canvas with cream leather trim. Gucci also uses a material called GG Supreme, which is a coated microfibre canvas known for being durable and wipe-clean. Both finishes are authentic Gucci materials, but care instructions differ slightly for coated versus non‑coated finishes.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: After each use, gently wipe the bag with a soft, dry cloth and store it in a dust bag, loosely stuffed to help maintain its shape. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, humidity, rain, oils, and cosmetics. For coated GG Supreme areas, you may use a slightly damp soft cloth; avoid harsh cleaners or protective sprays on all materials. Allow any moisture to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Q: Is the bag water-resistant? A: Neither canvas nor leather is fully waterproof. Coated GG Supreme has some resistance to light moisture, but we recommend avoiding heavy rain. If the bag gets wet, blot gently with a soft cloth and let it air dry.
Q: Where can I find the serial number and what should it look like on a vintage Gucci bag? A: Most Gucci bags have a leather tab inside, usually near the internal zip pocket. Turning the tab over typically reveals two rows of numbers (often totalling about 9–13 digits). Number formats have evolved over time, so small variations are normal on vintage pieces, and on some older styles a code may be absent.
Q: Does this vintage bag have an NFC authenticity tag (Gucci Tag)? A: Gucci’s NFC authenticity tag is available only on selected, newer items via the Gucci App. Vintage pieces like this often predate that feature and may not include an NFC tag.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If a dust bag, card, or other item is not listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you would like us to confirm specifics.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Each item is checked by our in‑house experts using multi‑point inspections of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and serial numbers, and we also use a reputable third‑party tool. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: Can Gucci service or repair this bag? A: Gucci offers aftercare and repair services subject to an in‑boutique assessment, with availability depending on the item’s age and parts. You can contact a Gucci boutique or Client Services for options; we are also happy to advise.
Q: What signs of wear should I expect from this vintage piece? A: It is graded Very Good. Expect light discolouration on the canvas, a loose thread on the trim, some stains to the lining, and scratches/dullness on the hardware. Please review the photos for close‑up details.
