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 Jackie 1961 Crystals Mini? A: It’s designed for small essentials: a large smartphone, a cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick and AirPods/earbuds. Due to the slim depth (around 3 cm), bulky sunglass cases and long continental wallets are usually too tight. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for this exact piece and ask us for a tailored fit check if you’d like.
Q: Will it fit a Pro/Max‑size phone? A: Most Pro/Max phones fit, though very thick or rugged cases can make the opening snug. Share your device dimensions and we’ll happily test the fit against this bag’s interior and opening for you.
Q: Is the strap detachable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes—this item comes with a detachable shoulder strap (listed under Accessories). With an approximate strap length of 80 cm and a short top handle (about 9 cm drop), it can be carried by hand, on the shoulder, or as a high crossbody for many wearers. If you’d like on‑body photos to gauge how it sits, just ask.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The Jackie 1961 uses a piston‑lock clasp that provides good everyday security when the bag isn’t overfilled. Close it straight on (without forcing or angling) to avoid unnecessary pressure near the crystal embellishment.
Q: Are the crystals durable? Will they fall off? A: The crystals are firmly set, but like all embellishments they are sensitive to knocks, abrasion and chemicals. Avoid contact with rough surfaces, jewellery, perfumes, hairsprays and alcohol‑based wipes. Handle by the leather/canvas areas when possible, and store so the exterior doesn’t rub against other items.
Q: How should I care for the GG Supreme canvas, leather trim and crystals? A: • Coated canvas/leather: Wipe with a clean, soft, dry or barely damp cloth; avoid harsh cleaners and prolonged moisture. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto lighter areas. • Crystals: Dust gently with a dry, lint‑free cloth to restore sparkle; never soak or use solvents. • Storage: Keep lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid stacking heavy items on top.
Q: Is it okay to use the bag in light rain? A: GG Supreme’s coating offers some surface resistance to light splashes, but we don’t recommend deliberate exposure to rain—especially with crystal embellishment and leather trim. If it gets damp, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat sources.
Q: Is the crystal‑embellished Mini a seasonal piece? A: The Jackie 1961 is a current‑line icon, but crystal‑embellished GG finishes are typically produced seasonally or in limited runs. Availability varies by season and region; the pre‑loved market is often the best place to find specific crystal versions like this one.
Q: Where are the brand markings/codes and how is authenticity handled? A: Authentic Gucci bags feature an interior “GUCCI Made in Italy” stamp and characteristic hardware/engraving; code format and placement can vary by season. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts (materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and overall construction). We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: For this specific listing we include brand booklets and a detachable shoulder strap. If an accessory (e.g., box or dust bag) isn’t listed under “Accessories,” it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
