Perfect for busy weekdays and polished weekends, this vintage Gucci Soho Medium Chain Tote in black pebbled leather with light gold-tone hardware and embossed GG brings effortless elegance. The leather tassel, double chain shoulder straps and clip-top opening lead to a beige canvas interior with zip and slip pockets, keeping essentials organised from office hours to dinner.
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 are the measurements and what can it hold? A: This Medium Soho Chain Tote measures approximately 38 cm (W) × 27 cm (H) × 14 cm (D) with an approximate 24 cm shoulder drop. It comfortably fits A4 documents, a diary, water bottle and a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve. A slim 14-inch laptop may fit depending on the model and case—please compare your device to the measurements for certainty.
Q: Will it fit over the shoulder comfortably, even with layers? A: Yes, the double chain straps with leather shoulder pads are designed for shoulder carry. With a drop of about 24 cm, most users find it comfortable; as with many chain-strap totes, it can feel snug over bulky winter coats and may dig slightly if heavily loaded. Adjust your carry and load for comfort.
Q: How secure is the opening? A: The bag has an open top with a hook (dog-clip) closure rather than a full zip. Everyday use is secure when the clip is fastened, and valuables can be placed in the interior zipped pocket. For travel or crowded spaces, consider using a zip pouch or bag organiser for added peace of mind.
Q: Is the leather tassel removable? A: Yes. The Soho Chain Tote typically features a leather tassel attached by a small clasp, so it can be removed if preferred. Handle the tassel gently to avoid stress on the clasp and fringe.
Q: Is this style still sold new at Gucci? A: This specific Soho Chain Tote is generally available on the pre-owned market and is not part of Gucci’s current online handbag line-up. Availability can change over time, but most examples now trade as vintage/pre-loved pieces.
Q: What is the interior like? A: It has a beige canvas lining with one zip pocket and two slip pockets for organisation. Canvas linings in lighter colours can show marks with use; storing cosmetics or pens in pouches helps keep the interior clean.
Q: How does this compare to the Soho Disco bag? A: The Soho Chain Tote is a larger shoulder tote with chain straps and a hook-closure open top, designed for everyday capacity. The Soho Disco is a compact crossbody with a zip top and long strap, intended for smaller essentials. Both feature the embossed interlocking GG and a leather tassel detail.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable or can it be worn crossbody? A: The straps are fixed-length shoulder chains with leather pads and are not designed to be adjusted or worn crossbody. The tote carries best on the shoulder or by hand.
Q: How should I care for the pebbled leather and hardware? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid harsh cleaners and prolonged sunlight or moisture. Store stuffed in a breathable dust bag, with chains tucked to prevent impressions. For hardware, use a dry, non-abrasive cloth only. Avoid overfilling to maintain the bag’s shape and shoulder comfort.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, the bag is sold on its own; a dust bag, cards or box are not included unless specifically stated. All A Retro Tale items are authenticated by our specialists before listing, and additional details can be provided on request.
