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 Small Pearl Padlock Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 20 × 13 × 7 cm, it holds a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few small essentials like lipstick or hand sanitiser. A long continental wallet or bulky power bank may be a tight fit. Packing slim items maximises space.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. The sliding chain can be worn doubled on the shoulder or extended crossbody. The approximate strap drop is 30 cm when doubled and 50 cm when worn long, giving versatile styling from day to evening.
Q: Are the pearls real and how delicate are they? A: The decorative pearls on this style are faux (glass/resin) set alongside metal studs. They are durable for normal use but can scratch or chip if knocked against abrasive surfaces. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions or alcohol-based products and take care around rough fabrics or jewellery.
Q: Is the chain strap removable or adjustable? A: On this small Padlock style the chain is typically fixed and not designed to be removed or length‑adjusted. You can double the chain for a shorter shoulder carry or wear it long; you may also tuck it inside for a clutch look, but do so gently to avoid imprinting the lining.
Q: How does the padlock and key work on this bag? A: The front closure is a functional padlock. The keys are stored in the leather clochette. Many owners keep the lock in the unlocked position for quick access and use the key when extra security is desired. Store the keys so they do not press into the leather when not in use.
Q: Is the bag heavy to wear all day? A: The chain adds some weight compared with fabric straps. Most find it comfortable for regular wear, but for long crossbody days keep contents light to improve comfort. Weight can vary slightly by material trim and hardware.
Q: Will my large phone fit? A: Most modern smartphones fit. Larger Plus/Max models generally fit when placed vertically or without a bulky case, but please compare your device to the internal space and the measurements above for certainty.
Q: How should I care for the leather, pearls and hardware? A: Wipe leather with a soft, dry cloth. Protect from direct sunlight, heat and rain; if wet, dry promptly with a soft cloth. Store stuffed to maintain shape, ideally in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling. Keep pearls and hardware away from abrasive contact to minimise scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this bag, it currently includes a clochette and keys.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house specialists, reviewing materials, stitching, stamps, serial details and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
