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: Will a laptop fit in this tote? A: With external measurements of 37 × 23 × 11.5 cm, most 13-inch laptops fit comfortably. A slim 14-inch may fit depending on its case and bezels, while most 15-inch models are unlikely to fit without protruding. Please compare your device’s dimensions to the measurements shown.
Q: How secure is the opening? A: It has an open top with a strap and clasp closure. For valuables, use the internal zip pocket or a zipped pouch/bag organiser. This setup balances easy access with everyday security when carried upright.
Q: How can I carry it? A: The dual braided leather shoulder straps have a 20 cm drop, allowing comfortable shoulder or hand carry. There is no detachable long strap or crossbody option on this style.
Q: What typically fits for daily use? A: A4 documents, tablet, long wallet, phone, keys, a small water bottle, and essentials in the internal zip pocket. Capacity depends on how you pack; avoid overfilling to maintain shape.
Q: What items are included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, the product information indicates no additional items are included.
Q: What is the condition exactly? A: External: Very Good with light traces of use. Internal: Very Good with some discolouration on the straps. Hardware: shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for a close-up view before purchase.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. For light marks on canvas, spot clean sparingly with a barely damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild, pH‑neutral soap, then blot dry. Keep away from oils, cosmetics, and prolonged direct sunlight or heat. Store stuffed to support its shape in a breathable dust bag and avoid overloading to prevent stretching.
Q: Is it water-resistant? A: While Gucci canvas is durable, the bag is not fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain; if it gets wet, blot immediately with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat sources.
Q: Where would I find the Gucci serial number and what does it mean? A: On most Gucci handbags from the 1990s onward, a heat‑stamped, two‑line number appears on the reverse of the interior leather label. It identifies style and production details but is not a public “date code” and cannot on its own verify authenticity. Older vintage pieces may have different formats or, in some cases, no modern two‑line number.
Q: Do Gucci bags have NFC/QR authenticity tags? A: Select newer Gucci items include an NFC-enabled authenticity tag readable via the Gucci app. Many vintage pieces, including older totes, were produced before this feature and may not have such a tag.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this piece? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps/labels, and construction details, supported by specialist tools and databases. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or information on request.
