Q: What material and colour is this Gucci Messenger Bag?
A: This small Gucci Messenger Bag is made from brown leather. Its country of origin is listed as Italy.

Q: What are the bag’s dimensions?
A: The bag measures approximately 29 cm high, 28 cm wide and 0.5 cm deep. It has a particularly slim profile, so consider the depth as well as the height and width when assessing capacity.

Q: Will this bag fit a laptop or tablet?
A: Laptop and tablet fit have not been confirmed for this item. Compare your device’s dimensions, including its case, with the listed measurements and allow for a smaller usable interior. Given the listed 0.5 cm depth, do not assume it can accommodate a laptop or bulky belongings.

Q: How long is the shoulder strap, and can the bag be worn crossbody?
A: The listed strap measurement is 46 cm. The product information does not specify whether this is the full length or strap drop, or whether the strap is adjustable. Crossbody suitability therefore cannot be confirmed; please ask for clarification if this is important to you.

Q: What condition is this pre-owned bag in?
A: The bag is rated Good Condition. The exterior has scuffing on the corners and edges, with light scratches throughout the leather. The interior is in good condition with light traces of use. The hardware is scratched and shows chipping.

Q: Does the bag come with a dust bag, box or other accessories?
A: No accessories are included, as stated in the product information. A dust bag and box are therefore not included.

Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate its bags?
A: A Retro Tale guarantees the authenticity of the items it sells. Its trained experts review each piece’s construction and details as part of its authentication process.

Q: How should I clean the leather?
A: Gucci recommends gently wiping leather with a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid cleaning or protective products, as these can alter the finish or cause stains. For marks requiring further treatment, seek advice from Gucci before attempting a repair.

Q: Can I use this leather bag in the rain?
A: Avoid exposing the bag to rain, humidity and direct heat. If it gets wet, gently dry it straight away with a soft cloth. Gucci’s care guidance recommends protecting its bags from these conditions rather than treating them as waterproof.

Q: How should I store the bag when it is not in use?
A: Store it away from direct light, heat and humidity, preferably in a separately purchased soft, breathable dust bag. Avoid placing other items on top, and arrange the strap without sharp bends to help protect its shape.
