Made for after-work drinks, weekend brunch or a chic evening out, this vintage Gucci GG Medium Marmont in black matelassé chevron leather lends effortless elegance. Antique gold-toned accents and a sliding chain strap make it an easy choice from day to night, pairing just as well with tailored separates as with a little black dress.
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 the Medium GG Marmont typically fit? A: As an everyday shoulder bag, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, a continental wallet, keys, a sunglasses case and small cosmetics. A slim e‑reader or compact tablet (such as an iPad mini) may also fit if the bag isn’t overfilled. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page and our photos to gauge fit for your items.
Q: Can the strap be worn crossbody and on the shoulder? A: Yes. The sliding chain strap allows two carrying lengths: approximately 28 cm when doubled for the shoulder and about 54 cm when extended for crossbody, as listed in this item’s product information. The strap is not removable and length cannot be finely adjusted beyond these two positions.
Q: Is the chain strap comfortable for daily wear? A: The chain is weighty and designed with a leather shoulder panel for comfort. Most find it comfortable over light to medium layers; over very delicate fabrics we suggest taking care to avoid snagging. If you prefer a softer feel, a slim shoulder pad or wearing it over a coat can add cushioning.
Q: Does the Medium differ much from the Small Marmont? A: The Medium offers a roomier interior and typically accommodates a long wallet and slim tablet more easily than the Small. Both share the same flap design, Double G hardware and sliding chain; the Medium is better suited to day‑to‑evening use when you need extra capacity.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The GG Marmont flap features a firm closure under the Double G hardware that stays shut in normal use. As with all flap bags, avoid overfilling, which can put stress on the flap and fastening.
Q: What is the leather and lining like, and how should I care for it? A: The Marmont is crafted from soft matelassé chevron leather with a microfibre‑suede lining. Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth, avoid contact with water, oils and solvents, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight or heat. Store the bag lightly filled to maintain its shape and place it in a breathable cover when not in use. Hardware should be wiped gently; metal polishes are not recommended.
Q: Will the leather crease or the hardware show marks? A: Soft matelassé leather can develop natural creasing over time, especially if overpacked. Hairline scratches and light discolouration can appear on gold‑tone hardware with use—this is normal wear. Refer to the Condition notes and images for this pre‑owned piece, which mention creasing to the leather and scratches/discolouration on the hardware.
Q: Is the GG Marmont still part of Gucci’s current collection? A: Yes. The Marmont remains in production and has seen periodic updates, including recent tweaks and a functional back pocket on some medium and large versions. Vintage or earlier releases may differ slightly in details from current-season pieces.
Q: What about colour transfer or staining? A: Darker colours like black are more forgiving, but we still recommend keeping the bag away from abrasive surfaces and dark, unwashed denim. If the bag gets lightly soiled, allow any moisture to dry naturally and gently wipe; for significant stains, consult a professional leather specialist.
Q: What product information is included with this listing? A: Everything included is shown in the product information section on this page. If an item such as a branded dust bag or care booklet isn’t listed there, it is not included with this piece—please contact us if you need clarification.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, brand stamps and serial details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or information on request.
