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 Horsebit Hobo Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 x 32 x 1.5 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder, keys, sunglasses, a slim notebook and a small cosmetics pouch. Because it has a relatively slim profile, it is not ideal for bulkier items or most laptops.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. It has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate handle drop of 18 cm, making it suitable for shoulder carry for most wearers. Its hobo shape is designed to sit neatly under the arm rather than be worn crossbody.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: Yes. This piece features a top zip closure, which offers more security than an open-top hobo style and helps keep everyday essentials safely inside.
Q: What materials and details does this bag have? A: According to the product information, this vintage piece is crafted in black horsebit canvas with black leather trim, gold-tone hardware and a black textile lining. It also features Gucci’s signature Horsebit-inspired design language, which is one of the House’s most recognisable heritage details.
Q: What is the Horsebit detail, and why is it significant? A: The Horsebit is one of Gucci’s historic emblems, inspired by the equestrian world. It is known for the distinctive double-ring-and-bar motif and is closely associated with the brand’s archival bag designs, making it a timeless detail for vintage Gucci collectors.
Q: Is this a practical everyday vintage bag? A: Yes, if you want a shoulder bag for daily essentials rather than a large carryall. The combination of a slim silhouette, zip-top closure and easy shoulder strap makes it a practical option for everyday use while still feeling polished and distinctly vintage.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This item is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This is consistent with a well-kept vintage bag that has been gently used.
Q: Does this bag come with any extra items? A: No. No additional items are included with this piece. If an item is not listed in the product information, it should be considered not included.
Q: How should I care for vintage Gucci canvas and leather? A: Wipe the bag gently with a soft cloth after use and avoid prolonged exposure to direct light, heat, humidity and rain. If it becomes wet, dry it promptly with a soft cloth. To help preserve the shape, store it lightly stuffed and avoid placing heavy items inside for long periods.
Q: How do you authenticate this Gucci bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by in-house experts. Authentication is based on a multi-point review of materials, construction, hardware, stitching, brand markings and overall consistency, so buyers can shop vintage with confidence.
