Perfect for evening cocktails, gallery openings or a chic night out, this vintage Gucci Small GG Marmont in turquoise matelassé velvet adds a bold pop of colour. Gold-tone accents and its neat, compact profile elevate tailored ensembles and weekend denim alike.
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 are the measurements and strap drop for this Gucci Small GG Marmont bag? A: The bag measures approximately 22 × 12 × 7.5 cm. The sliding chain strap has two wearing drops: about 54 cm when worn long and about 30 cm when doubled, so you can wear it crossbody or on the shoulder.
Q: What typically fits inside this small Marmont? A: It comfortably holds a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and small essentials like hand sanitiser or a slim sunglasses sleeve. Bulky cases and large continental wallets are less suitable due to the compact depth.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? A: There are no buckle holes to adjust length. The chain is designed to slide so you can wear it as a longer single strap (approx. 54 cm drop) or as a shorter doubled strap (approx. 30 cm drop) for handheld/shoulder carry.
Q: What type of closure does it have and is it secure? A: It features a flap with a push‑lock fastening. The lock is quick to open and close while keeping contents secure during day‑to‑day use.
Q: Can I wear this crossbody if I’m tall or petite? A: Most find the 54 cm drop works crossbody on a range of heights; on very tall frames it may sit slightly higher on the torso. If you prefer a lower drop, consider using an extender clip or wearing it on the shoulder.
Q: How should I care for the turquoise matelassé velvet? A: Keep velvet away from rain and humidity, as moisture can mark or mat the pile. Avoid prolonged rubbing against rough fabrics, and be cautious of dye transfer from dark denim. After wear, gently brush the nap in one direction with a very soft, clean brush, allow any light moisture to air‑dry naturally, and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight.
Q: Is velvet too delicate for everyday use? A: Velvet is more delicate than leather and shows wear faster with heavy abrasion or wet conditions. With mindful use—dry weather, minimal friction, careful storage—it can work beautifully for day‑to‑night or occasional daily wear.
Q: Where is the serial/style number located on a Marmont, and what does it indicate? A: On modern Gucci bags the two‑row number is typically stamped on the back of the interior leather logo tab. The first row corresponds to the style code, and the second is a supplier/batch number. It isn’t a date code. Please contact us if you’d like us to confirm the code for this piece.
Q: Are any accessories included with this item? A: This listing is for the bag only. Everything included is always stated under Accessories; if an item like a dust bag or card isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: The measurements seem close to Gucci’s “Mini”. Is this bag small or mini? A: Naming can vary by season, material and retailer. To avoid confusion, rely on the measurements provided here (approx. 22 × 12 × 7.5 cm) for fit and capacity; those will guide you more accurately than size names alone.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and interior codes. We guarantee authenticity and are happy to share additional photos or details on request.
