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 Bamboo Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 33 × 25 × 15 cm, it generally fits a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, an A5 diary, a long wallet, a cosmetics pouch, phone, keys, and a small water bottle placed horizontally. Capacity varies depending on how you pack and whether you use an organiser.
Q: Can this tote be worn on the shoulder? A: The handle drop is about 21 cm, which allows many users to carry it on the shoulder over light layers. It is also comfortable carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. Please compare the drop with your own shoulder/upper‑arm measurements for best results.
Q: Does it include a shoulder strap or other items? A: This model is primarily designed as a handheld tote and does not include a shoulder strap unless specified. Everything included with this item is listed in the product information section; for this piece it includes brand booklets.
Q: Are the handles real bamboo and what makes them special? A: Yes. Gucci’s signature bamboo handles are crafted from natural bamboo that is heated, bent into shape and lacquered by artisans. Because bamboo is a natural material, subtle variations in colour and grain are normal and part of the bag’s character.
Q: How should I care for the bamboo handles? A: Keep the bag away from prolonged light, heat, humidity and rain. If the handles get wet, dry them immediately with a soft cloth. When storing, support the handles so they do not press against the bag; if plastic bands were originally provided with the model, place them around the bamboo to help maintain the curve. Avoid oils, conditioners or harsh cleaners on the bamboo or its lacquer.
Q: How do I care for the brown pebbled leather exterior? A: After each use, gently wipe with a soft, dry, non‑abrasive cloth. Avoid household cleaners or waterproofing sprays as they can alter the finish. Store the bag in a breathable dust bag, lightly stuffed to retain shape, and away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Q: Is the bag open at the top? A: Yes, this example has an open top. For added security and organisation, consider using a zipped pouch or a bag organiser inside, especially when commuting or travelling.
Q: Where is the serial number and can it date the bag? A: Most Gucci bags have an interior leather tag with the Gucci logo and a series of numbers on the reverse; the format and placement vary by era, and the numbers alone do not provide an exact production date. Some newer Gucci items feature an embedded NFC authenticity tag, which is typically not present on vintage pieces.
Q: Is this bag made in Italy? A: Yes, this piece is crafted in Italy, consistent with the brand’s heritage of Italian craftsmanship.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and model‑specific details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share further product information on request.
