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 Gucci Medium Soho Chain Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 39 x 27 x 13 cm, this medium tote is roomy enough for everyday essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, make-up pouch, and a notebook or small tablet. For exact fit, we always recommend comparing your own items with the Measurements listed on this page.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This bag features dual chain shoulder straps with an approximate strap drop of 22 cm, so it is designed to sit on the shoulder rather than be carried only by hand. On very bulky coats or knitwear, the fit may feel a little closer under the arm.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: It does not have a dedicated padded laptop compartment. A very slim small laptop or tablet may fit depending on its exact dimensions, but larger laptops are likely to be a tight fit. Please compare your device with the listed bag measurements before purchasing.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: This style has an open top with a lobster clasp closure, which keeps the shape open and easy to access while adding light security. Inside, there are internal pockets to help keep smaller essentials organised.
Q: Is this a good everyday bag? A: Yes, this style is well suited to daily use if you want a tote that feels spacious without being oversized. The leather body, shoulder straps, and practical interior make it a strong choice for day-to-day essentials, shopping, or office-to-evening use.
Q: What materials and details does this specific bag have? A: This piece is made in Italy from light blue leather and features silver-tone hardware, dual chain shoulder straps, a canvas lining, internal pockets, and a lobster clasp closure. It is also a vintage Gucci style.
Q: What is the condition of this particular item? A: The exterior is in good condition with visible fading and wear to the leather and edges. The interior is in very good condition with light traces of use and a few small discoloured spots. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, plus some wear and discolouration.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item is listed with no additional items included. Everything that comes with the bag is reflected in the product information for this piece.
Q: How should I care for vintage leather like this? A: We recommend gently wiping it with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh cleaners, overfilling, prolonged sunlight, and moisture. Because this is a light-coloured leather bag, it is also wise to be careful around dark denim and other fabrics that may cause colour transfer. Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable fabric bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by in-house experts using detailed assessments of materials, construction, hardware, markings, and overall consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
