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 in this Gucci GG Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 20 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, small wallet, keys, lipstick, and sunglasses in a soft case. A slim notebook and other daily essentials fit as well. Compact tablets up to around 8 inches may fit depending on the case; please compare your device to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: It is primarily designed as a shoulder bag with a single adjustable strap. At approximately 35 cm drop on the longest setting, it may sit quite high if worn crossbody on some frames. We recommend measuring a bag you wear crossbody and comparing the drop to ensure comfort.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item (for example, a dust bag) is not listed there, it is not included. You are welcome to contact us for clarification.
Q: How should I care for the GG canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild, pH‑neutral soap if needed; avoid soaking, harsh chemicals, and abrasives. Condition leather sparingly with a suitable leather lotion, keep away from oils/dyes that may cause colour transfer, and let the bag dry naturally if it gets wet. Store stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and humidity.
Q: Is it water-resistant? A: GG canvas is more resistant to light moisture than smooth leather, but the bag is not waterproof. Wipe off rain promptly, avoid prolonged exposure to water, and protect the leather trim from puddles and spills.
Q: How is authenticity verified and do serial numbers prove authenticity? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and codes. Gucci serial numbers are typically two rows of numbers used for internal style/production references and are not a public verification database. Some newer Gucci items feature QR/NFC technology, but many vintage pieces do not. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: The hardware looks both silver and gold—how should I style it? A: Mixed‑metal hardware is intentional and makes styling easy. You can pair the bag with either silver or gold jewellery; mixing metals is a contemporary look that coordinates well with two‑tone hardware.
Q: Can the strap be replaced or lengthened? A: The bag has an adjustable shoulder strap but is not designed for a detachable or significantly longer strap. If you need repair or adjustment, we recommend a reputable leather‑goods specialist who can advise on sympathetic options for vintage pieces.
Q: What should I know about the condition of this specific bag? A: Overall very good vintage condition with light signs of use. There is some scuffing at the corners and minor scratches on the leather; the lining shows creases and light scratches. Hardware exhibits scratches and some discolouration. Please review all photos for the most accurate view.
Q: How should I store it to maintain shape and minimise wear? A: Empty the bag, gently stuff it with acid‑free tissue to support the silhouette, fasten the flap, and store it upright in a breathable dust bag. Keep it out of direct sunlight and avoid stacking heavy items on top to prevent creasing.
