Perfect for cocktail parties, dinners or gallery openings, this black velvet Gucci Marmont brings refined glamour to any look. Wear the sliding chain on the shoulder or across the body to keep essentials close as you move from aperitifs to the after-party.
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 I fit inside the GG Velvet Marmont Small? A: With approximate dimensions of 21.5 × 15 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, a small wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few cosmetics. Bulkier items or a large long wallet may limit closure ease, so we recommend organising compactly and avoiding overfilling to help maintain the bag’s shape.
Q: Can the sliding chain be worn multiple ways? A: Yes. The sliding chain allows two lengths: approximately 55 cm when worn long and about 30 cm when doubled. This lets you wear it on the shoulder, crossbody (fit varies by height), or as a shorter shoulder carry by doubling the chain.
Q: Is velvet durable for everyday use? A: Velvet offers a rich, tactile finish but is more delicate than leather. It can show pressure marks on high‑contact areas and may be more sensitive to abrasion and moisture. For frequent daily use, be mindful of rough surfaces, rain, and heavy contents to preserve the pile and structure.
Q: How should I care for and clean the velvet exterior? A: After each wear, gently remove surface dust with a soft, dry lint brush in the direction of the pile. Avoid water, cleaning sprays, or protectants, as these can alter the appearance. Keep away from direct heat, humidity, and rain; if it becomes damp, blot immediately with a soft cloth and allow to air dry away from heat sources.
Q: I’ve heard the chain can leave imprints on velvet—how can I minimise this? A: Chain pressure can compress the pile. When storing, place the chain inside the bag in a soft pouch or wrapped in tissue so it does not rest on the exterior. Avoid placing heavy items on top of the bag and rotate wear to reduce repeated pressure on the same spots.
Q: Does the velvet colour transfer onto clothing (or pick up dye)? A: As with many richly dyed textiles, dark or bright velvet may transfer onto light garments, and vice versa, especially with friction or humidity. Pair with similar colours when possible, avoid prolonged rubbing against untreated denim, and let new dark fabrics be washed a few times before wearing together.
Q: How do I store the bag to help it keep its shape? A: Empty the bag, lightly stuff it with acid‑free tissue to support the structure, and store it in the dust bag in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Do not stack items on top. If possible, keep the chain tucked inside and the flap closed without tension.
Q: Is the strap length adjustable with holes? A: There are no buckle holes or notches. Length changes by sliding or doubling the chain, giving you two wearing drops rather than incremental adjustments.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, the product information notes a dust bag is included.
Q: How is authenticity guaranteed? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous, multi‑point authentication by in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details or photos on request.
