Delivery & Returns
Q: What are the dimensions and what will it hold? A: Approximately 33 × 42 × 11 cm with a 20 cm handle drop and a 45 cm shoulder strap drop. It will take A4 documents, a diary, a tablet and a 13-inch laptop with ease. A slim 15-inch device may also fit; please compare your device to the measurements. As the bag has an open top, a zipped pouch or organiser is recommended for valuables.
Q: Does this tote come with a shoulder strap? A: Yes. A detachable woven leather shoulder strap is included, as listed in the product information. You can carry it by the bamboo top handle or wear it on the shoulder using the strap (approx. 45 cm drop).
Q: Is the bamboo handle durable and how should I care for it? A: Gucci’s bamboo handles are heat-shaped, lacquer-finished and known for being lightweight yet resilient. Wipe the handle with a soft, dry cloth after use, avoid prolonged moisture, direct heat and heavy pressure, and let it air-dry if it gets wet. Store the bag so the handle keeps its natural curve and isn’t pressed flat.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Keep it loosely stuffed to maintain shape and store in a breathable dust bag away from light, heat and humidity. For bamboo-handled styles, Gucci advises using the plastic bands provided to help the handle retain its curve; if you don’t have them, simply ensure the handle is supported and not under weight.
Q: How do I look after the woven leather and the suede lining? A: Keep woven leather away from abrasive surfaces and potential colour transfer. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or conditioners. For the black suede lining, keep it dry; use a suede brush or clean eraser for light marks and consult a specialist for deeper cleaning or stains.
Q: Is this a vintage piece and what wear should I expect? A: Yes, this is a vintage bag. The condition notes mention slight corner wear, scuffing on the strap, and a tear at the bottom of the inner pocket lining. Please review the photos and description; gentle signs of age are normal and part of the bag’s character.
Q: How is authenticity verified and what about serial numbers? A: Gucci bags typically have a heat-stamped serial number on an interior leather tag, but formats have varied over the decades and older vintage pieces can differ. Serial numbers are not unique IDs or date codes. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point authentication and is guaranteed authentic.
Q: Can the bamboo handle or strap be repaired if needed? A: Yes. Skilled ateliers can re-secure handle hardware, refinish bamboo lacquer and refurbish straps and edges. Results depend on the bag’s condition; for eligible items, Gucci also offers care and repair services. We recommend reputable luxury repair specialists.
Q: Is it rain-safe? A: Leather and bamboo are not waterproof. Avoid rain where possible; if exposed, blot gently with a soft, dry cloth and let the bag air-dry away from heat. Consider using a protective pouch inside the open top to keep contents dry.
