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 inside this Gucci leather tote? A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 28 × 10 cm, it comfortably holds A4/US Letter documents, a tablet or e‑reader, a small water bottle, a wallet, phone, keys, and daily essentials. Capacity can vary depending on how you organise items—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Will it fit a 13-inch or slim 14-inch laptop? A: Most 13-inch laptops and some slim 14-inch models should fit, but we recommend comparing your device’s actual width/height/thickness to the bag’s interior and allowing 1–2 cm of clearance. For protection, use a padded sleeve, as this tote does not have a dedicated laptop compartment.
Q: Is it suitable as an airline personal item or cabin bag? A: At 40 × 28 × 10 cm, it generally falls within many airlines’ under‑seat personal item guidelines and is well within typical cabin-bag limits. Policies differ by carrier and route, so please check your airline’s current rules before travelling.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? A: Yes—its handle drop is approximately 21 cm, which suits most shoulders for everyday wear. Over bulkier winter coats it may feel snug depending on build and layering.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece is sold as photographed. The product information on this page lists everything included; for this specific item, no extras are noted. If something is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How secure is the turn‑lock closure? A: The turn‑lock provides a quick, reliable closure for the main opening. For valuables, we recommend using the internal zip pocket and keeping the bag zipped/locked when in crowds. Avoid overfilling so the lock aligns and functions smoothly.
Q: How should I care for the grained leather and the suede lining? A: Wipe leather with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water, oils, and prolonged sunlight/heat. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. For suede lining, gently use a suede brush to lift the nap and a suede eraser for small marks; avoid liquid cleaners inside. Seek a professional for difficult stains.
Q: Where is the Gucci serial number, and what if a number isn’t present? A: On most Gucci bags from the 1990s onward, a two‑row style/production code is heat‑pressed on the back of a small interior leather tab. These numbers are not a public, unique ID. Earlier vintage pieces may have different formats or none at all, and numbers can fade with age—any present stamps or codes are photographed in the listing.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, and serial/label formats. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: What signs of wear should I expect from this vintage piece? A: It is graded Very Good with noted scuff marks on the corners, light traces of use in the interior, and scratches/dullness on the hardware. Minor creasing or patina consistent with age and careful wear may also be visible—please review the photos for the most accurate view.
