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 this Gucci Vintage Handbag? A: With approximate dimensions of 27 x 16 x 9 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or small wallet, keys, lipstick, sunglasses and a few compact personal items. It is not large enough for a tablet, laptop or bulkier everyday carry.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. It features a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate handle drop of 15 cm, so it is designed for shoulder carry. It is not a crossbody style.
Q: What material and finish does this bag have? A: This vintage Gucci bag is crafted in black patent leather with silver-tone hardware and a black leather lining. Patent leather has a glossy, polished finish that gives the bag a smart, dressier look.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin listed for this piece is Italy.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The exterior is noted as Very Good with light traces of use. The interior is in Good condition with scratches, peeling and tarnish, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As this is a vintage item, signs of age and previous wear are to be expected.
Q: Does this bag come with any original extras or additional product information? A: No additional product information is noted for this item. If any original extras were included, they would be listed on the product page.
Q: Does every vintage Gucci bag have a serial number? A: No. Many vintage Gucci bags do include interior number markings, but older examples may have short model numbers or no serial number at all. The absence of a serial number on its own does not confirm whether a bag is authentic. For this item, no serial number is listed on the product page.
Q: How should I care for vintage patent leather? A: Gently wipe the bag with a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth after use. Keep it away from direct light, heat, humidity, rain and rough surfaces, and dry it promptly if it gets wet. When stored, keep it lightly stuffed in a soft breathable bag to help maintain its shape, and avoid placing heavy items on top. Because patent leather can become tacky or delicate over time, any deeper cleaning or restoration is best left to a specialist.
Q: How is authenticity checked? A: At A Retro Tale, items are reviewed by specialists who assess details such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps and overall workmanship before listing. If you would like more information about this specific bag, you can contact the team for further guidance.
