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 GG Bamboo Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 24 × 12 × 3 cm, it suits daily essentials such as a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few slim cosmetics. It is a compact shoulder bag and not intended for bulky items—please refer to the Measurements on this page for precise sizing.
Q: Can I wear this as a crossbody bag? A: The strap measures about 53 cm in length and is designed for shoulder carry. On most frames it sits as a short-to-mid shoulder bag rather than a crossbody.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? A: This model features a single flat shoulder strap that is not adjustable and not designed to be removed.
Q: Is the bamboo detail real, and is it durable? A: Yes. Gucci’s bamboo elements are crafted from real bamboo that is heat-shaped by artisans, making it lightweight yet resilient. Natural variations and slight hairline markings can occur and are normal for this material.
Q: How should I care for the GG canvas, leather trim and bamboo detail? A: Wipe coated GG canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Condition leather trim sparingly with a neutral leather conditioner and avoid contact with oils, alcohol-based wipes, or solvents. Keep bamboo away from heat and humidity extremes; store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help it hold its shape, and avoid prolonged pressure on the bamboo piece.
Q: Is the material water-resistant for light rain? A: GG Supreme-style canvas is a coated material, so it offers light water resistance. However, leather trim and bamboo should be kept dry. If the bag gets damp, wipe it gently and allow it to air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap has a magnetic closure with a bamboo detail that provides quick, secure fastening for everyday use. For best results, avoid overfilling the bag so the flap can close cleanly.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. For this specific listing, no additional items are noted; if you need clarification, please contact us.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag, and do I need a serial number or card? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, checking materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and more. Many vintage Gucci bags feature an interior serial number, but these numbers are not date codes, and cards such as “controllato” are not proof of authenticity on their own. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: When was the Gucci Bamboo design introduced? A: Gucci first introduced the bamboo-handle design in 1947. It has since become one of the House’s most recognisable signatures and continues to appear across vintage and modern collections.
