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 Vintage Messenger Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 31 x 27 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a notebook or compact tablet. As the bag is soft suede and no depth measurement is listed, capacity can vary slightly depending on how you pack it.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This piece has a single flat strap with an approximate drop of 43 cm. It is best described as a shoulder-style messenger bag. Depending on height and frame, it may sit close to the body, but for most people it will not have the longer drop of a true modern crossbody bag.
Q: What materials and features does this bag have? A: This vintage Gucci bag is crafted in brown suede with brown leather trim, contrast stitching, gold-tone hardware, and a brown suede lining. It has a flap closure with buckle detail and was made in Italy.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The bag is listed in very good vintage condition. There are visible watermarks on the base, minor scuffing on the edges, and some loose stitching externally. Inside, there is light trace of use and a few cracks on the leather. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for a vintage suede Gucci bag? A: Suede is a delicate material and should be handled gently. Keep the bag away from rain, humidity, direct heat, and prolonged sunlight. After use, lightly remove surface dust with a soft dry cloth or a suede brush, and store it carefully to help preserve its shape. For deeper cleaning or stain treatment, a professional suede specialist is usually the safest option.
Q: Can the watermarks on the base be removed? A: Not always. Suede can absorb moisture unevenly, so watermarks may soften with very careful professional treatment, but they can also remain visible. Because this is a vintage item, any cleaning should be approached cautiously to avoid further colour change or texture damage.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are listed with this piece. If a box, dust bag, authenticity card, or other extras are not mentioned in the product information, they should be considered not included.
Q: Where was this Gucci bag made? A: The origin label states Italy, which aligns with Gucci's longstanding Italian manufacturing tradition.
Q: How is a vintage Gucci bag authenticated? A: Authentication should never rely on just one detail. Vintage Gucci bags are typically assessed through a combination of materials, stitching, hardware, branding, construction quality, and any interior serial or stamp details when present. At A Retro Tale, items are vetted by in-house experts before being offered for sale.
