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 Soho Denim Chain Tote? A: As a medium tote (approx. 37 × 26 × 12 cm), it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch, small water bottle and an A5 diary. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Will it fit a 13-inch laptop or A4 documents? A: Yes, most slim 13-inch laptops and A4 folders fit horizontally without distorting the shape. For heavier devices, consider using a padded sleeve to protect the lining and maintain structure.
Q: What closure does this model use, and is it secure for commuting? A: The Soho Chain Tote has an open top with an internal hook/lobster clasp that draws the sides together. It provides everyday security for normal use, but it is not a zip-top; in crowded travel settings we recommend keeping valuables in a zipped pouch inside the bag.
Q: Is the leather tassel removable? A: On most Soho Chain Totes the tassel attaches with a small clip and can be removed. Hardware may vary slightly by year; please check our photos of this exact piece to confirm how it is attached.
Q: Are the chain straps comfortable on the shoulder? A: The dual chain shoulder straps feature leather shoulder pads designed for comfort. They sit well on the shoulder for daily use; however, as with any chain strap, very heavy loads can feel firm against the shoulder. The straps are not adjustable.
Q: How many pockets are inside? A: Soho Chain Totes typically include one internal zip pocket and additional slip pockets. This specific bag has an internal zip pocket as noted; please review the imagery to see the exact pocket configuration.
Q: How should I care for the denim and leather trim? A: Gently brush off surface dust and spot clean the denim with a barely damp, soft cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid soaking. Condition the leather trim sparingly with a quality leather conditioner. Keep the bag away from prolonged direct sunlight, moisture and oils. Store it stuffed loosely in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape.
Q: Can denim cause or receive colour transfer? A: Colour transfer is possible both ways: the denim can pick up dye from dark clothing, and it can transfer to very light fabrics. Minimise risk by avoiding friction against untreated garments, keeping the bag dry, and rotating carry sides when wearing dark denim.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories; this piece is offered with no accessories. If an item like a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this Gucci bag, and where is the serial number? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and construction. Gucci bags usually have a leather tag inside with “Gucci” and “made in italy” on the front and a two-line serial number stamped on the back; placement and legibility can vary on vintage pieces. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
