Q: What typically fits inside the Gucci Ophidia GG Supreme Messenger (Small)? A: Everyday essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, passport, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch and an A5 notebook/diary. A Kindle or iPad mini‑sized tablet usually fits; a full 11-inch tablet is generally too wide. Please refer to the Measurements on this page (23 × 25 × 5 cm) or ask us for tailored fit advice for this specific piece.
Q: Will it fit an iPad or e‑reader? A: Most e‑readers and iPad mini‑sized tablets fit comfortably. Standard 10–11 inch iPads are typically a squeeze due to the 23 cm width and zip opening. For certainty, compare your device dimensions with the listed Measurements or ask us to perform a quick fit check.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and suitable for crossbody wear? A: Yes—the strap is adjustable and designed for shoulder or crossbody wear. We list a 45 cm adjustable drop under Measurements; if you’d like the exact min/max settings for your height, just ask and we’ll confirm for this specific bag.
Q: Is the Ophidia Messenger still produced? A: The Ophidia line is ongoing, but specific messenger sizes/variants can be seasonal or discontinued. Availability varies by year and region—pre‑loved is the best route for particular configurations like this Small Messenger.
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 secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: It features a top zip closure for everyday security, plus an external zip pocket and an interior pocket for organising small items. Our photos show the exact pocket layout and lining for this piece.
Q: What is GG Supreme canvas and how durable is it? A: GG Supreme is Gucci’s coated canvas—lightweight, robust and generally more scratch‑resistant than smooth leather. It’s paired with brown leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. While the canvas is hard‑wearing, it isn’t fully waterproof; avoid heavy rain and prolonged moisture. Leather corners can scuff with wear, so a little care goes a long way.
Q: How should I care for the canvas, leather trim and Web stripe? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Keep away from oils and potential colour transfer (e.g., dark denim). Condition the leather trim sparingly with a suitable neutral product after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; tuck the strap and protect hardware from rubbing to minimise hairline scratches. If lightly wet, blot and air‑dry away from heat.
Q: Is the Ophidia Messenger still produced? A: The Ophidia line is ongoing, but specific messenger sizes/variants can be seasonal or discontinued. Availability varies by year and region—pre‑loved is the best route for particular configurations like this Small Messenger.
Q: Where are Gucci brand markings and the serial number located? A: Authentic Gucci bags typically have an interior leather tag stamped “GUCCI” and “Made in Italy,” with a series of digits (serial/code) on the reverse of that tag. Hardware and zipper pulls may feature Gucci branding. Placement and font can vary by era—contact us for close‑up photos and details for this exact piece.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing states “no accessories.” Any original items (e.g., dust bag, box or paperwork) would be listed under Accessories; if it isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—assessing materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, logos and serial/code details against brand standards. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell and can provide additional photos or a video walkthrough on request.
