Q: What typically fits inside the Gucci Large GG Horsebit Glam Hobo? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 28 × 5 cm, it comfortably carries everyday essentials such as a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch and an A5 diary. An 11-inch tablet usually fits; A4 documents can fit when placed horizontally but the curved zip opening and slim 5 cm depth make thick folders less practical. Share your device dimensions and we’ll happily perform a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: This style has a single flat shoulder strap that is not adjustable and is intended for shoulder carry. The drop on this piece is approximately 13 cm, so it sits high under the arm and is not designed for crossbody wear. It can feel snug over bulky coats; over lighter layers it wears comfortably as a classic shoulder hobo.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: Slim 11–12 inch devices may fit without a bulky sleeve, but a 13-inch laptop is typically too wide/tall for comfortable use due to the bag’s curved opening and shallow depth. For certainty, compare your device’s measurements with those shown here or ask us to test the fit for this specific bag.
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.

It can feel snug over bulky coats; over lighter layers it wears comfortably as a classic shoulder hobo.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag features a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security. Inside, there is a black fabric lining with one internal pocket to keep smaller items organised. Please refer to the listing photos for the exact layout of this piece.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: This vintage model is crafted from black GG canvas with black leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The combination delivers a lightweight yet durable carry with an elegant finish suitable for daily use and evening plans alike.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: Slim 11–12 inch devices may fit without a bulky sleeve, but a 13-inch laptop is typically too wide/tall for comfortable use due to the bag’s curved opening and shallow depth. For certainty, compare your device’s measurements with those shown here or ask us to test the fit for this specific bag.
Q: Is this Horsebit Glam Hobo still produced? A: The 2000s-era Horsebit hobo silhouettes (often referred to as Hasler/Chain/Glam variants) are generally discontinued. While Gucci continues to feature Horsebit details in current collections, this classic hobo shape is most commonly found on the pre‑loved market.
Q: How should I care for GG canvas, leather trim and gold‑tone hardware? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a slightly damp microfibre cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or bleach. Keep the bag dry and away from prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of potential colour transfer from dark denim onto lighter leathers. Condition the leather sparingly with a quality neutral product after testing on a discreet area. Polish hardware with a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive metal polishes near the canvas or leather.
Q: Is GG canvas water‑resistant? A: GG canvas is a coated fabric that offers light resistance to everyday splashes but it isn’t waterproof. If it gets damp, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow it to air‑dry away from direct heat. Prolonged exposure to rain may lead to water spots or warping of leather trim.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and do they indicate the year? A: Authentic Gucci bags typically have an interior leather tag stamped “GUCCI / Made in Italy.” On the reverse of this tag you’ll usually find numbers in two rows that relate to the style and supplier. These numbers are useful for authentication but don’t directly reveal the production year. Later models may also include a discreet QR/date tag; we can provide close‑ups and help interpret the codes for this item.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories.” For this piece, the listing states no accessories are included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—assessing materials, stitching, hardware, logo stamps and codes—and we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
Q: Any storage tips to maintain the shape? A: Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed with acid‑free tissue, in a breathable dust bag. Keep it away from direct sunlight and humidity. Pad the strap and place a soft cloth between hardware and leather to minimise impressions and hairline scratches during storage.
