Perfect for a polished day in the city, from office meetings to evening plans, the Gucci Sukey in black Guccissima leather brings refined ease. Its medium silhouette carries daily essentials, while gold‑tone accents elevate tailored looks and smart‑casual outfits 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 typically fits inside the Gucci Sukey Guccissima Bag? A: The Medium Sukey Boston is surprisingly spacious for its size. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a large smartphone, a full‑length (continental) wallet, a cosmetics pouch, keys and sunglasses in a soft case. A small water bottle or a compact tablet (like an iPad Mini) can also fit. Please refer to the Measurements on this page (approx. 30 × 20 × 11 cm) or contact us for a tailored fit check for your specific devices.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: This bag features dual rolled leather handles for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry (approx. 13 cm drop), plus a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap. With a strap drop of around 48 cm, it is designed primarily for comfortable shoulder wear. Depending on your height and frame, it may sit as a high crossbody, but it is best suited as a shoulder or handheld bag.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: Unlike the open‑top Sukey Tote, this Boston bag variant features a full top zip closure, providing excellent security for your belongings during travel or commuting.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: The interior is lined with a light‑coloured fabric (typically a durable linen or canvas blend) which makes it easy to find your items. It features a single main compartment with one zipped side pocket for securing smaller valuables. Our photos show the exact condition of the lining for this specific piece.
Q: What is Guccissima leather? A: “Guccissima” (meaning “most Gucci” in Italian) is the house’s signature embossed calfskin, featuring the iconic GG pattern pressed into the leather. It offers a luxurious texture and is generally robust for daily use, though the embossed ridges can be susceptible to scuffs if not treated with care.
Q: How should I care for Guccissima leather? A: Keep the leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade the colour. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. Use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly if needed, testing on a hidden area first. Store the bag stuffed and upright in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape and protect the embossing.
Q: Is the Sukey model still produced? A: The Sukey line is a beloved archival collection from the late 2000s and early 2010s and is no longer in production. The pre‑loved market is the only way to source these iconic pieces, especially in specific combinations like this black Guccissima leather.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located? A: Authentic Gucci bags from this era feature a leather tab inside stamped with “GUCCI Made in Italy” (often with a registered trademark symbol). The serial number is located on the back of this tab and typically consists of two rows of numbers indicating the style and supplier codes. We can provide close‑up photos of these details on request.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, typography and serial codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and guarantee their genuineness.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag, detachable strap, original tags) are listed clearly under “Accessories.” If an item isn’t mentioned there, it is not included. For this piece, the detachable shoulder strap is listed as included.
