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 Jolicoeur Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 30 W x 35 H x 8 D cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a tablet or e‑reader, a medium notebook, a water bottle, and daily essentials. It generally fits most 13-inch slim laptops in a protective sleeve; please compare your device’s dimensions to the measurements provided.
Q: Does this tote have a secure closure? A: The Jolicoeur is designed with an open top for easy access and a tidy interior zipped pocket for small valuables. For added privacy and organisation, we recommend using a pouch or bag organiser.
Q: Are the straps adjustable and how does it carry on the shoulder? A: Yes, it features dual adjustable shoulder straps. The drop is approximately 18 cm on this piece, allowing comfortable shoulder carry over light layers.
Q: How durable is Gucci’s GG canvas and is it water-resistant? A: Gucci’s GG canvas is a coated, hard-wearing material that resists everyday scratches and light moisture well. It is not fully waterproof, so avoid heavy rain and dry it promptly with a soft cloth if it gets wet.
Q: How should I clean and store this bag? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; if needed, use a tiny amount of mild soap and wipe off residue, avoiding soaking or scrubbing. Nourish the leather trim sparingly with a suitable leather conditioner. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat, to help it keep its shape.
Q: Where is the serial number and what does it mean? A: The code is typically heat-stamped on the reverse of the interior leather tag beneath the Gucci/made in italy stamp. It identifies the style and batch for production reference; there is no public database to “check” a number by itself. Our team authenticates using a multi-point inspection of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps.
Q: What era is the Jolicoeur line from and is this considered vintage? A: The Jolicoeur line was widely produced in the 2000s and early 2010s and is now regarded as a vintage or classic pre-owned style in today’s market.
Q: Is this a good choice for work or commuting? A: Yes. Its vertical profile takes documents and daily tech comfortably. Because it has an open top, we suggest a zipped pouch for valuables when commuting.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this specific piece, no additional items are included unless explicitly noted there.
Q: How is the condition assessed? A: This pre-loved bag is graded Very Good overall, with light signs of use. Please refer to the condition notes and photos for details such as minor scratches on leather trims and light wear on hardware.
