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 GG Leather Bag? A: With an approximate interior sized to 22 × 17 × 5 cm and three compartments plus an internal zip pocket, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys and a few cosmetics. Bulky items like a water bottle or an A5 diary are not recommended—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: The bag has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 18 cm drop. It is not adjustable and is best worn on the shoulder or carried by hand under the arm.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap top features a GG turn‑lock closure designed to keep contents secure during everyday use while allowing quick access to the main compartment.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or care card is not listed there, it is not included. Feel free to contact us if you would like us to confirm what is included.
Q: What signs of wear should I expect from this vintage piece? A: The exterior is in Good condition with visible scratches and marks on the leather; the interior shows scratches and marks; the hardware has scratches and some discolouration. Please review all photos for a close look at condition before purchase.
Q: How should I care for the smooth leather and hardware? A: After each use, gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid contact with water, oils, perfumes, hand sanitiser, and prolonged exposure to direct light, heat, humidity, or rough surfaces. Do not use cleaners or conditioners that could alter the finish. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, keep straps relaxed (avoid sharp bends), and do not overfill the compartments to maintain the shape.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number, and where would it be? A: Most modern-era Gucci bags have a two‑row numeric style code stamped on the reverse of the interior leather brand tag; older vintage pieces may show earlier formats (sometimes with dots/dashes) and some earlier vintages may have no code at all. Absence of a code on certain vintage items can be normal—overall construction, materials and stamping are assessed together when authenticating.
Q: Can Gucci repair or replace parts on a vintage bag? A: Gucci offers product care and repair services following an in‑person or remote assessment. Availability for vintage items and specific components is case‑by‑case and not all requests are possible. If needed, we can advise on next steps after purchase.
Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity? A: Every item is rigorously examined by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, heat‑stamps, style codes, hardware and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
