Ideal for the daily commute or a polished day in the city, this vintage Gucci GG tote in black canvas with leather trim brings understated luxury to work or weekend plans. With dual top handles and a secure zip, it carries your essentials with ease from morning meetings to after-work 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 this bag hold for everyday use? A: With measurements of approximately 40 cm (W) × 29 cm (H) × 13 cm (D), it comfortably fits A4 documents or a notebook, a tablet, a long wallet, keys, phone, and a small cosmetics pouch. A slim 500 ml–1 L bottle can fit upright, and the top zip closure helps keep items secure.
Q: Will it fit my laptop? A: Most 13-inch and many 14-inch laptops fit. A slim 15-inch may also fit without a bulky case, but please measure your device and compare to the internal space, allowing a little margin for the zip. A thin sleeve is recommended to protect your device and the lining.
Q: Is Gucci’s GG canvas water-resistant? A: GG coated canvas is durable and easy to wipe clean, but it is not fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and prolonged moisture. If the bag gets wet, blot gently with a soft cloth and let it air-dry away from heat or direct sunlight. Be mindful of potential colour transfer from dark fabrics.
Q: How should I clean and care for this bag? A: For canvas, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a drop of pH‑neutral soap, then dry immediately. For leather trim, use a suitable leather conditioner sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol, acetone, and over-wetting. Store stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from humidity and direct heat/sunlight.
Q: Where will I find the Gucci serial/production number and what does it mean? A: On most Gucci bags from the 1990s onward, the number is heat‑stamped on the reverse of the interior leather tag. It often appears in two rows; the top is the style/model code and the bottom is a supplier/production code. It is not a public database lookup or a unique proof of authenticity, and vintage formatting can vary or be worn. Our experts authenticate holistically and never rely on a number alone.
Q: How can this tote be carried? A: It has dual flat leather top handles with an approximate 19 cm drop, so it can be carried by hand, in the crook of the elbow, or on most shoulders depending on build and layers. The top zip adds security for commuting and travel.
Q: What exactly is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this piece, no additional items are included.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: Very good overall. There is visible wear on the canvas by the zip opening, some stains on the inside lining, and the silver‑toned hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for close‑ups.
Q: How do you authenticate items at A Retro Tale? A: Each item is inspected by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware engravings, heat stamps, serial/production codes, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
