Crafted in black pebbled leather with gold-tone hardware, it slips neatly under the arm. The slim profile and secure top zip keep essentials close while effortlessly elevating your look.
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 Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 x 22 x 5 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve, a small cosmetics pouch, AirPods, and an A5 diary/notebook. A slim 500 ml water bottle may fit. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Slim tablets up to about 9–10 inches often fit; an 11-inch tablet (e.g., iPad Pro 11) is typically too tall for the 22 cm height and can be restricted by the zip opening. Laptops (13-inch and above) generally do not fit. Compare your device’s dimensions with our Measurements or contact us for a quick fit test.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: This model features a single flat shoulder handle with an approximate 18 cm drop. The strap is not adjustable and the bag is designed for shoulder carry (under‑arm). It will sit fairly high; over bulky outerwear it may feel snug. Crossbody wear is not intended for this style.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It has a top zip closure for good everyday security. Inside, you’ll find a black fabric lining with one internal pocket. Our listing photos show the exact interior of this piece.
Q: What materials and hardware does this bag have? A: This item is crafted in black pebbled leather with gold‑tone hardware and a fabric lining. Pebbled leather is known for its lightly textured, durable finish and tends to resist minor surface marks better than very smooth leathers.
Q: How should I care for the pebbled leather and hardware? A: Keep leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and test on an inconspicuous area first. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling to preserve the zip. Hardware can develop hairline scratches and light discolouration with normal use—avoid abrasive surfaces and polish gently with a non‑abrasive cloth.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: Overall Very Good with light traces of use. The leather and interior show gentle wear consistent with careful use. Hardware remains shiny with some scratches and discolouration noted in our description. Please review the photos for close‑ups and feel free to request additional images.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Gucci bags typically feature a GUCCI heat‑stamp and a country of origin (often Made in Italy) inside. Most vintage and modern pieces include an embossed serial number on a small leather tab; placement and format can vary by era. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help interpret markings for this exact item.
Q: Can I add a longer strap to wear it crossbody? A: This style is engineered for shoulder carry with a fixed handle; many versions do not have dedicated D‑rings for a crossbody strap. Attaching aftermarket hardware to the handle rings can mark the leather/hardware or stress the bag—we don’t recommend modifications. Ask us if you’d like guidance specific to this piece.
Q: Is the Abbey/medium shoulder style still produced? A: The Abbey shoulder line is generally discontinued. Availability is best through trusted pre‑loved specialists like A Retro Tale, where you can find specific colours and configurations such as black pebbled leather.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag and what accessories are included? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts via multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial code and overall construction. Included items for this listing are noted under Accessories; for this piece we indicate no accessories. If something isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us to confirm.
