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 is the Gucci Soft Stirrup and when was it introduced? A: The Soft Stirrup is a relaxed, slouch-structured take on Gucci’s Stirrup line, defined by its equestrian stirrup-shaped hardware and strap-over closure. It debuted under Creative Director Frida Giannini around the Pre-Fall/Autumn 2012 season and nods to Gucci’s riding heritage.
Q: What fits inside this specific bag? A: With approximate measurements of 42 × 32 × 22 cm, it comfortably holds everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, a cosmetics pouch, a water bottle, and documents or a tablet. Most 13-inch laptops and some slim 14-inch models may fit; please compare your device’s exact dimensions to the measurements provided.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody or does it come with a long strap? A: This model is designed with a single flat shoulder handle (approx. 13 cm drop) for shoulder or hand carry. It does not include a long crossbody strap or fittings for one on this listing.
Q: How does the stirrup closure work, and is it secure for daily use? A: A leather strap passes through the metal stirrup detail and secures with a hidden magnetic/snap-style fastening, providing practical, quick access while remaining secure for routine daily carry.
Q: What is the interior like on this piece? A: This item features a GG monogram canvas lining with one internal zipped pocket, a layout commonly seen on Soft Stirrup models and appreciated for being hard-wearing and easy to keep tidy.
Q: Is this bag considered vintage? A: The Soft Stirrup was introduced in the early 2010s. While some define “vintage” as 20+ years old, A Retro Tale curates earlier-era designs like this as vintage within our selection. This is a pre-owned piece from that period.
Q: How should I care for the soft leather and silver-toned hardware? A: Wipe the leather with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and dry immediately; use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly a few times per year. Avoid overfilling, oils, alcohol-based sanitisers, and prolonged sunlight or rain. For hardware, a gentle, dry microfibre polish is best; do not use abrasive cleaners. Store stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape.
Q: Where is the Gucci number inside, and does it prove authenticity? A: Gucci typically stamps a series of numbers on the reverse of a small interior leather tag. This code helps identify the model and batch but is not a unique public “serial number” and cannot verify authenticity on its own. At A Retro Tale, every item is authenticated by specialists using a multi-point inspection beyond the internal number alone.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. If a dust bag, care card or other item is not listed there, it is not included with this specific listing.
Q: Is the Soft Stirrup heavy or structured? A: Compared with the structured Stirrup or Lady Stirrup, the Soft Stirrup has a more relaxed silhouette and pliable leather. It feels substantial due to quality leather and hardware but is designed to drape softly against the body for comfortable shoulder carry.
