Perfect for office-to-weekend schedules, this vintage Gucci Guccissima leather tote elevates daily routines—from commutes and client meetings to city errands and short getaways. The open top, dual handles and internal pockets keep essentials organised, while brown leather and gold-tone hardware provide timeless polish for any smart-casual occasion.
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 Large Guccissima tote hold day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 38 × 37 × 13 cm, it comfortably carries A4 documents, a water bottle, makeup pouch and a jumper. It will fit most 13–15 inch laptops in a separate sleeve; many 16‑inch models (around 35.6 cm wide) may also fit if placed vertically or diagonally—please compare your device to the measurements and use a padded sleeve as the bag is unstructured and open at the top.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? A: Yes. It is designed to be carried by dual top handles with an approximate 19 cm drop, which suits hand, crook of arm, or most shoulder carries. Fit over bulky outerwear varies by build and layers.
Q: Does this tote have a closure and how do I keep items secure? A: This style has an open top. For added security we recommend using a zipped pouch or a bag organiser, keeping valuables in the interior zip pocket, and avoiding overfilling so the top sits closer to the body when carried.
Q: What is Guccissima leather? A: Guccissima is genuine leather embossed with Gucci’s interlocking GG motif, creating a durable, textured finish. The embossed “Signature/Guccissima” pattern rose to prominence in the mid‑2000s under then‑creative director Frida Giannini. It differs from GG Supreme canvas, which is a coated fabric.
Q: How should I care for this leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid contact with water, oils, make‑up and darker fabrics that may transfer colour. Store stuffed to hold its shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight. Use a leather‑specific conditioner sparingly and never on hardware.
Q: Is there a detachable shoulder strap? A: No. This tote is the classic handheld/shoulder style with dual top handles and does not include a detachable strap.
Q: What’s included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information on this page for everything included. For this piece, a dust bag is included.
Q: The serial number isn’t listed—does that affect authenticity? A: Many modern Gucci bags feature a two‑row numeric style code on the back of the interior leather tag, while some earlier vintage pieces may have different formats or may lack a code altogether. Absence of a visible code can be normal for older items and does not affect authenticity.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, embossing, stitching, hardware, stamps, and codes where present. We guarantee the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details or photos on request.
Q: Is it suitable as a work or travel tote? A: Yes—its capacity suits daily commuting or light travel. For electronics, use a padded sleeve; for flights, most airlines accept a tote of this size as a personal item, but allowance varies by carrier so please check your airline’s policy.
