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 Turn Lock Handbag? A: With approximate dimensions of 22 x 17 x 9 cm, this compact vintage handbag is best for daily essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few small personal items. It is more of an essentials bag than a roomy day bag, so bulkier items or larger purses may not fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This style features a single flat handle with an approximate drop of 17 cm. Depending on your frame and outerwear, it may sit close under the shoulder, but it is generally best considered a compact hand-carry or short-shoulder style. Comparing the drop to a bag you already own is the best way to judge the fit.
Q: Is the turn lock closure secure? A: Yes. The structured flap and turn lock closure help keep everyday essentials neatly contained while also giving the bag its classic vintage Gucci look. As with most vintage hardware, it is best opened and closed gently to help preserve the finish over time.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The bag is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows visible scuffing on the corners and scratches on the leather, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. These signs are consistent with careful pre-loved wear and are worth reviewing in the product images before purchase.
Q: Does this item come with any original extras? A: The product information for this piece states that there are no additional inclusions. If you are hoping for an original dust bag, box, authenticity card, or other extras, please assume they are not included unless specifically stated elsewhere on the product page.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: For vintage leather, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth after use and store the bag away from direct sunlight, heat, humidity, and rough surfaces. Avoid harsh cleaning products or heavy conditioners unless advised by a specialist, and take care not to overfill the bag so it keeps its shape. The gold-tone hardware should also be handled gently to minimise further scratching.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number? A: A serial number is not listed in the product information for this item. With vintage Gucci bags, serial markings can vary by era and may sometimes be faint, worn, or absent depending on the age and construction of the piece. If you would like more detailed interior verification points, it is sensible to ask for them before purchasing.
Q: How do I know this vintage Gucci bag is authentic? A: When buying vintage Gucci, authenticity should be judged through the overall construction rather than one detail alone. Material quality, stitching, hardware, interior details, shape, and any serial marking all matter together. A Retro Tale specialises in authenticated luxury vintage pieces, so this bag has already been professionally vetted before listing.
Q: Where was this bag made, and what are its key design details? A: This piece is made in Italy and features black leather, gold-tone hardware, a red leather lining, and a classic turn lock closure. Those details give it a smart, timeless look that works well for both day and evening use.
