Perfect for theatre nights, cocktail parties or romantic dinners, this vintage Gucci GG Marmont in black matelassé chevron velvet with antique gold-tone accents brings plush, polished glamour. A sliding chain shoulder strap keeps you hands-free, while the pink satin-lined interior with a pocket carries evening essentials.
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: How can the strap be worn on the GG Marmont velvet bag? A: The chain strap slides so you can wear it crossbody or as a shorter shoulder strap when doubled. The approximate drops on this piece are 55 cm (single) and 30 cm (doubled). There are no buckle holes; length is adjusted only by sliding the chain.
Q: What typically fits inside this size? A: Based on the measurements on this page (about 21.5 × 15 × 6 cm), it comfortably fits a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and compact, and slim sunglasses. A long continental wallet or a water bottle is usually too large; avoid overfilling to keep the flap aligned.
Q: Is velvet practical for everyday use and what care does it need? A: Velvet is more delicate than leather. Keep it away from rain and humidity, avoid rough or abrasive surfaces, and expect some lint pick‑up on dark velvet. Gently brush the nap in one direction with a very soft brush or use a low‑tack lint roller. For marks, lightly blot rather than rub, and allow any moisture to dry naturally away from heat.
Q: Does this bag work as a crossbody for different heights? A: Most users find the 55 cm drop sits around the high‑hip to waist on average heights; on taller frames it will sit a little higher. If you prefer a lower crossbody drop, consider using it as a shoulder bag with the strap extended and avoid bulky coats that raise the bag on the body.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap secures with the metal Double G closure and stays shut during normal use. To maintain alignment and closure strength, do not overstuff the bag and place heavier items at the base.
Q: What is the lining and how should I protect it? A: This piece has a pink satin lining with one internal pocket. Satin is delicate and can mark; store pens, liquids, and makeup in a small pouch to reduce the risk of stains on the lining.
Q: Will the chain or hardware tarnish or scratch? A: The antique gold‑tone hardware may show fine surface marks with regular wear; this is normal. To protect the velvet, tuck or wrap the chain when storing so it doesn’t press into the fabric, and avoid contact with lotions or perfumes that can dull the finish.
Q: Is colour transfer an issue with velvet? A: Dye from dark or unwashed fabrics (especially denim) can transfer onto lighter materials and velvet. Conversely, dark velvet can attract lint. Minimise prolonged rubbing against heavily dyed garments and be extra cautious in humid conditions.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed in the product information. For this piece, the product information indicates that no additional items are included.
Q: Is this item authentic and where was it made? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, and stamps. This bag was made in Italy, as noted on the label.
