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 the Gucci Guccissima Horsebit Creole Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 x 29 x 5 cm, this medium shoulder bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other slim personal items. It can also suit a slim tablet or documents, but it is not ideal for bulky items because of its narrow depth.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This style is designed as a shoulder bag. It has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 23 cm drop, which gives a comfortable shoulder carry for most users, but it is not intended as a crossbody style.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: Yes. This bag features a zip closure across the top, which helps keep your belongings more secure than an open hobo style. Inside, there is also one internal pocket for smaller essentials.
Q: What is Guccissima leather? A: Guccissima is Gucci’s embossed leather featuring the interlocking GG motif pressed into the surface. It is a recognisable house signature that gives the bag texture and structure while keeping the look refined and classic.
Q: Is the Horsebit detail a classic Gucci feature? A: Yes. The Horsebit is one of Gucci’s most iconic design codes, inspired by equestrian hardware. It has been associated with the house for decades, which is why Horsebit bags remain especially popular in both current and vintage Gucci collections.
Q: Is this a current Gucci boutique model? A: No. This is a vintage Gucci bag from an earlier production era, so it is typically found on the pre-owned market rather than bought as a current in-store style. That is part of its appeal for collectors and shoppers looking for an older Gucci design.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This piece is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. These are typical signs of careful pre-owned wear rather than major damage.
Q: How should I care for vintage Guccissima leather? A: Gently wipe the bag with a soft, dry cloth after use and keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, humidity and rough surfaces. If it gets wet, dry it promptly with a soft cloth. Store it lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and avoid harsh cleaning or protective products that may alter the leather or finish.
Q: Does this item come with any additional product information? A: No additional product information is listed for this piece. If you would like to confirm exactly what is included with the bag, it is always best to rely on the product information shown on the listing page and the accompanying images.
