In black studded leather with silver-tone hardware, a bamboo turn-lock and a single chain shoulder strap, it keeps essentials organised with its brown leather-lined interior and zip pocket.
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 can this bag hold day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 26 × 17 × 7 cm, it comfortably fits a large smartphone, compact wallet, keys, lipstick, and sunglasses in a slim case. Slim tech like a Kindle or a small diary can also fit, but bulkier bottles or full-size tablets are not recommended.
Q: Can the chain be worn in different ways? A: Yes. The chain can be doubled for an approximate 22 cm drop for a close-shoulder carry, or worn as a single chain for an approximate 40 cm drop. On most users it is a shoulder bag rather than a true crossbody.
Q: How does the bamboo turn-lock work and is it durable? A: Rotate the bamboo piece to open and close the flap. The bamboo is a natural material, heated and shaped for strength. Avoid twisting with force, overfilling the bag, or knocking the clasp to keep it secure and in good condition.
Q: Is the bamboo real bamboo? A: Gucci’s Bamboo line traditionally uses genuine bamboo that is shaped and finished for durability and its signature look. Natural variations are normal and part of its charm.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information on this page for what is included. For this piece, a dust bag is included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: It is in good pre-owned condition. The leather around the bamboo clasp shows scuffing and peeling; the interior has light signs of use and a vintage smell. Hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for full details.
Q: How should I care for the studded leather, bamboo clasp, and hardware? A: Wipe leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid harsh cleaners and prolonged sun or moisture. For bamboo, use a dry microfibre cloth only and avoid oils or alcohol-based products. For silver-tone hardware, gently buff with a clean cloth. Store lightly stuffed in its dust bag, away from heat and humidity.
Q: Will the studs snag clothing? A: The studs are smooth, but as with any embellished surface, we recommend care around delicate fabrics such as fine knits or silk to avoid friction.
Q: Does it have a serial number and where would it be? A: Many Gucci bags have a leather tab inside with a heat-stamped number. On vintage pieces this can be faint or missing. The serial number is not listed for this item; if you would like us to check for a stamp, please contact our team.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
