Perfect for city brunches or summer soirées, this vintage Gucci Indy in off-white pebbled leather brings effortless polish. Carry by the single top handle or go hands-free with the detachable strap; bamboo-detailed tassels and silver-tone hardware add iconic flair, while the horsebit canvas lining with a zip pocket keeps essentials neatly at hand.
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 the Gucci Indy Leather Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 40 × 5 cm, it suits daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, AirPods and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 notebook fits comfortably; an 11‑inch tablet can usually fit without a bulky case. Due to the curved opening and slim depth, A4 folders and 13‑inch laptops are generally not recommended. If you’d like a tailored fit check for this exact piece, just ask and we’ll test it for you.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap for versatile carry. Many Indy straps have limited buckle adjustment; depending on your height and layers, it can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody. We’ve listed the handle/strap measurements for this specific bag (handle drop approx. 20 cm; strap drop approx. 80 cm). If you’d like on‑body photos or precise measurements, we’re happy to provide them.
Q: How secure is the closure and what does the interior look like? A: Indy configurations vary by season—some are zip‑top, others use the crossover tassels to secure the opening. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece, which features a horsebit‑printed canvas lining with one internal zip pocket for valuables.
Q: What are the signature design features of the Indy? A: Hallmarks include the sculptural top handle, oversized leather tassels tipped with bamboo, silver‑tone hardware and a crescent hobo silhouette. Many examples—including this one—also come with a detachable shoulder strap for hands‑free wear.
Q: Is the Indy considered heavy? A: The metal hardware and corner plates give the Indy a more substantial feel than very soft hobos. Most owners find it comfortable for day‑to‑day use with moderate packing; if you tend to carry heavier items, the shoulder strap can help distribute weight more evenly.
Q: Is the Gucci Indy still produced? A: The Indy is generally discontinued and most readily available on the pre‑loved market. Availability of specific sizes and colours now depends on resale rather than current boutique stock.
Q: Where are the Gucci brand markings and codes, and can you date the bag from them? A: Authentic Gucci bags typically feature an interior leather tag heat‑stamped “GUCCI” and “Made in Italy.” The reverse of this tag usually bears a two‑row numeric serial/style code. Serial numbers don’t directly reveal the production year, and placement/format can vary by era. We’re happy to share close‑ups for this exact piece on request.
Q: How should I care for the off‑white pebbled leather, bamboo details and silver‑tone hardware? A: Keep the leather away from moisture and potential colour transfer (e.g., dark denim). Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leathers sparingly after testing a discreet area. Avoid harsh cleaners on bamboo tassels; dust gently and protect them from knocks. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and place a soft cloth between hardware, tassels and leather to minimise imprints.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories.” For this bag we note: dust bag and detachable shoulder strap. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag, and can it be serviced? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial codes. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell. Gucci boutiques may offer repairs subject to assessment and parts availability; reputable independent leather specialists can also assist with cleaning and restoration. We’re happy to advise on options for this specific bag.
