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: Is this Gucci handbag authentic?
A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What are the dimensions and what typically fits inside?
A: The bag measures approximately 25 × 21 × 6 cm. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses and small cosmetics. It may also accommodate an A5 diary or small tablet depending on the case size. There is an internal zip pocket to secure valuables.
Q: How is this bag carried? Does it come with a long strap?
A: This model has dual flat top handles with an approximate drop of 15 cm and is designed for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. A long shoulder or crossbody strap is not included unless explicitly stated in the product information.
Q: What is the leather and how should I care for it?
A: It is crafted from black grained leather with an embossed GG logo. For care, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, allow to air‑dry naturally, and condition sparingly with a leather‑appropriate product. Keep away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight, and store stuffed to maintain shape in a breathable cover. Avoid harsh cleaners, baby wipes or alcohol‑based products.
Q: Is the bag vintage and where was it made?
A: Yes, this is a vintage Gucci piece, crafted in Italy.
Q: How secure is the flap closure?
A: The flap closure provides reliable coverage for everyday use. For added security, place small valuables inside the interior zip pocket and avoid overfilling so the flap sits flat.
Q: Does the bag have a serial or style code?
A: Many Gucci bags, especially later vintage pieces, feature a heat‑stamped leather tag with a two‑row numeric style code inside. However, some older vintage models may have different formats or no code at all. The presence or absence of a code alone does not determine authenticity; our team assesses the bag holistically.
Q: What is included with this listing?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What does “Very Good” condition mean for this item?
A: This piece shows light signs of wear consistent with careful use. As noted, the corners are slightly scuffed, the hardware remains shiny with light scratches, and the interior shows a light trace of use.
Q: Can I add a third‑party strap to carry it on the shoulder?
A: This handbag is not designed with dedicated strap rings, so adding an aftermarket strap may stress the leather or hardware. We recommend using it as intended for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry.
