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 Stirrup bag known for? A: It is a structured top-handle design that showcases Gucci’s equestrian heritage through its signature stirrup-shaped clasp. The style rose to prominence during Frida Giannini’s tenure, pairing clean lines with refined hardware and a classic interior layout.
Q: Is this style still available from Gucci today? A: The Stirrup line does not appear in Gucci’s current handbag selection and is most commonly found on the pre-owned market. This makes well-kept pieces desirable for collectors and those seeking a distinctive, discontinued look.
Q: How does the stirrup closure work—does it feel secure? A: The stirrup hardware secures a flap, and many Stirrup models also use a hidden magnetic snap beneath the flap. The result is a tidy, reliable closure that keeps belongings in place while maintaining the bag’s streamlined silhouette.
Q: What typically fits inside this specific bag? A: Based on the listed measurements of approximately 35 × 25 × 11 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a tablet. A4 documents fit; some slim 13-inch laptops may fit without a bulky case, but there is no padded laptop compartment—please compare your device’s dimensions for certainty.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This example is designed for handheld or crook-of-arm carry via the dual top handles (handle drop approx. 13 cm). It does not include a shoulder strap or crossbody option.
Q: What is the interior like on this piece? A: It features a beige canvas lining with one zipped pocket and two slip pockets, offering practical organisation while keeping the profile sleek.
Q: How should I care for the light blue leather and hardware? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid direct sunlight, heat, humidity, rain, and rough or colour-transferring surfaces. Do not apply polishes or cleaning products, as these can alter the finish. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag and avoid stacking items on top to preserve its shape and handles.
Q: Can Gucci repair or refresh a vintage Stirrup bag? A: Yes. Gucci offers aftercare evaluations for bags purchased through Gucci or authorised retailers, and they can advise on suitable repairs. Many clients also use reputable specialist ateliers for services like deep cleaning or colour touch-ups on vintage leather; outcomes depend on the item’s condition and materials.
Q: How can I authenticate a Gucci Stirrup bag? A: Authentic Gucci bags typically have a heat-stamped “Gucci made in Italy” leather tag and a separate serial/style code with two rows of numbers on the reverse. Consistency of materials, stitching, edge paint, and hardware engraving are also examined. Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted through multi-point checks; we can share further product information on request.
Q: What exactly is included with this item and what is its condition? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, there are no additional items included. Condition notes: exterior very good with a small mark on the handle; interior good with lining stains; hardware shows discolouration and scratches.
