Q: What typically fits inside this Gucci Horsebit Tote Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 35 × 30 × 12 cm, it comfortably holds a 13-inch laptop (in a slim sleeve), A4 documents, a long wallet, phone, sunglasses case, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact umbrella or 500 ml bottle. Capacity varies by how you pack and whether you use an organiser; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual flat leather handles have an approximate 20 cm drop, making it suitable for shoulder carry over light to medium layers, as well as hand or crook-of-arm carry.
Q: Will it work for daily commuting with a laptop? A: Yes for most slim 13-inch laptops given the 35 × 30 cm frame. Use a padded sleeve, avoid overloading, and do not place heavy items directly against the open top to help maintain the bag’s structure and finish.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Gucci Horsebit Tote Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 35 × 30 × 12 cm, it comfortably holds a 13-inch laptop (in a slim sleeve), A4 documents, a long wallet, phone, sunglasses case, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact umbrella or 500 ml bottle. Capacity varies by how you pack and whether you use an organiser; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual flat leather handles have an approximate 20 cm drop, making it suitable for shoulder carry over light to medium layers, as well as hand or crook-of-arm carry.
Q: Does it have a closure or interior pockets? A: This version has an open top and a single main compartment with black fabric lining. For added security and organisation, we recommend using a zipped pouch or a bag organiser inside.
Q: What does the Horsebit detail signify? A: The Horsebit is a signature Gucci code rooted in the House’s equestrian heritage. The motif appeared from the late 1940s and was famously celebrated in handbags from 1955 onwards, making it a timeless emblem of the brand’s archive and craft.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the printed canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Nourish leather trim sparingly with a neutral leather conditioner and avoid harsh cleaners or baby wipes. Keep away from prolonged sunlight, humidity and potential colour transfer (for example, from dark denim). Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag and upright when not in use.
Q: Is a detachable shoulder strap or any extras included? A: Everything included with this item is listed under product information. This listing currently indicates that no additional items are included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and model codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further photos or details on request.
Q: Why isn’t a serial number shown in the listing? A: On vintage Gucci, serial or style codes can differ by era and may be faint or absent. When present, Gucci codes are typically numeric, often in two rows, and they do not reveal the production year. Our team authenticates holistically using many indicators, not numbers alone.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: Overall Very Good. Exterior: the leather on the base shows some scuffing. Interior: very good with light traces of use and slight fraying at the strap. Hardware: shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for the most accurate view.
Q: Will it work for daily commuting with a laptop? A: Yes for most slim 13-inch laptops given the 35 × 30 cm frame. Use a padded sleeve, avoid overloading, and do not place heavy items directly against the open top to help maintain the bag’s structure and finish.
