Q: How secure is the closure?
A: It features a zip-top closure that helps keep daily essentials secure for city use and travel between meetings and errands.

Q: How do I care for the GG canvas and patent leather trim?
A: After each use, wipe the bag gently with a soft, dry cloth and store it away from direct light, heat, humidity, rain, and rough surfaces. Avoid using cleaners or protective sprays that may alter appearance. For canvas-specific deep cleaning, seek professional advice. Patent leather is prone to dye transfer from dark fabrics; minimise contact with denim and store it separately in a breathable dust bag. If the bag gets wet, dab dry immediately with a soft cloth.

Q: Has the bag lost shape, and can I improve it?
A: The listing notes some shape loss typical of vintage canvas. To help the silhouette, store the bag lightly stuffed with tissue in a breathable dust bag and avoid overfilling. With consistent storage, minor relaxation can improve, though a soft, lived-in structure is part of its vintage character.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is shown under the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or charm is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.

Q: Is the bag water-resistant?
A: No. Canvas and patent leather are not waterproof. Avoid rain where possible; if exposed, blot dry promptly with a soft cloth and allow to air-dry away from direct heat.

Q: Where is the Gucci serial number and what does it mean?
A: Gucci typically stamps a two-row number on a small interior leather tag. Formats vary across decades and some older vintage pieces may differ or lack codes. These numbers are primarily style and supplier identifiers rather than exact production dates.

Q: What wear should I expect on this specific bag?
